OK, so regardless of where our date winds up landing, I really need to get crackin' on my dress. Since we're going pretty casual, I decided it would be fun to do something vintage and sort of 50's style. Little did I know how hard that would be to find for someone who wears a size 24! But I did find someone on Ebay who will custom-size it to my measurements, and can have it ready in time for even the Jan 2 date. Can I just say first that I absolutely ADORE these people so far? The name of the shop is Pink Purr, and I definitely recommend them if you're into vintage style. Here's the dilemma: I am torn between two dresses! There's the Marilyn style, which is shown in a bunch of different colors, but can be made in white. This one can be made to my size for $199.00:

http://tinyurl.com/yjc3w5gThe price of both dresses are right within my $600 budget (obviously, the Marilyn leaves a whole lot more room there!), so that part isn't a concern. Whichever one I choose, I plan on wearing pink and black dyed crinoline underneath to match our wedding colors. I just can't freaking decide!!! Input???
