NWPR: Dress Fail

blackfire5th · October 2009

The DJ I used was awesome, and he takes photos during the reception and posts them on his website. I don't think he should have put this one up. I can almost see boob. [img]http://tinyurl.com/yz878fb[/img]

If you had jumped a second earlier, you might have ended up on wedinator.com. Not good!

blackfire5th · October 2009

haha, don't worry, this isn't me!

You're looking fine IMO. Clearly a headstand or jumping jacks wouldn't be prudent but it seems OK. Not the most flattering but ok.

Here is me, my dress was so secure, there was no boogage that could get out. :P [img]http://tinyurl.com/ygru95c[/img]

I went for my first fitting the other day, and my dress is a tiny bit loose in the top (I always loose weight in my boobs first: grrr). I'm wearing a longline bra under my dress, and you could start to see the very top of the bra when the dress slipped a little.In case the dress is still like this on my wedding day the seamstress is going to install a little hook in the back of my dress that will basically hang on top of the bra, so there's no way the dress can slip down. I'm definitely feeling no concerns about revealing boobies or undergarments now.

There is always double sided tape, and Booty Glue (knowledge courtesy of Toddlers and Tiaras).

blackfire5th · October 2009

Yes, having dress securely fastened = good

megk8oz · October 2009

Yeah, the only person that I want seeing my boobies that day are my sisters (Who are getting me into the dress) and FI (who is getting me out of the dress).Everybody else has to pay for a show, lol.

This is why the strapless wedding gown phenomenon is not the best idea. As for me, my gown's a halter. (Kind of.) It's not going anywhere.

bablingbrooke · October 2009

My BM had some issues w/ her stickies that she was using as a bra, so another BM and I got both an eyeful and a handful before my wedding when we helped her get herself together.

LarissaAnn · October 2009

You know, I spent one entire wedding ceremony watching my friend (the bride) hitching up her strapless gown repeatedly... with the photographer and the videographer there getting every second of it. I swore then that I wouldn't have a strapless wedding dress. Um... well... is it my fault it was a strapless dress that made me cry when I looked in the mirror (PIB)? LOL! And no, it didn't move. It fit right (yay for corset/laced back!).

Liz4444 · October 2009

larissa, i'm with you... i was dead set against strapless!damn that Carolina Herrera!

aerinpegadrak · October 2009

I think I may be the only person I know who ended up with a wedding dress pretty close to her initial idea. Pretty much everyone else I talk to ended up buy a completely different dress than they thought they wanted.

LarissaAnn · October 2009

I was thinking halter ballgown when I went in. I wanted to look like a big, floofy cake. LOL! But definitely halter. Ended up with a strapless A-line. Then again, I thought I'd have simple wildflowers, ended up not, thought I'd do ivory & blue, ended up in mauves and burgundies, though I'd do pewter BM dresses, ended up in truffle... I just kinda kept rolling with it. But I also wasn't one of the ones who started planning my wedding at age 5. I started on July 27, 2008... I got engaged on July 26, 2008.

bablingbrooke · October 2009

Stage-- I finally looked at your wedding bio. We wore the *exact* same dress. You have excellent taste

megk8oz · October 2009

I actually wound up w/something very close to my original vision. I knew I either wanted strapless or spaghetti straps and it had to be a total "princess ballgown". I'm on the small side as far as boobs go, so less "stuff" to get under control to keep the dress up. The only thing that was "drastically" different was I wound up getting a dress with a train ... and decided to not have the train removed in alterations. I orginally just didn't like the idea of me "dragging" the dress around and then dealing with a bustle. But once I started trying on dresses, I just felt way more "bride-y" having a train, so I kept it. Though, for me to do a 180 on my gown, I would have had to have wound up in a mermaid dress. I pretty much went into dress shopping KNOWING that a mermaid gown (On my hips) was a "no way in hell", lol.

megk8oz · October 2009

Larissa, The only thing I had in mind pre-engagement was dress style. I had a couple of ideas when I first got engaged (March 2008), but I didn't start "planning" until we booked a venue (Which was July 2009). I basically refused to plan until we had a "irrevocable" date. We'd had a few setbacks w/money early on, so every time we THOUGHT we had a date, I'd get all excited, start gettings ideas ... and then when we had to put it off again, I'd get all dissapointed. After a few tries, I finally just said "F*ck it, I'm not doing a THING until we put down a deposit", lol. A lot of my ideas changed from the begining until now. My colors got changed, my flowers got changed, if I'd gone with everything I'd wanted back in the begining, I probably wouldn't be as happy with my choices now. ... the one big advantage to throwing it together in less than 1/2 a year is now I can't in a year say "Oh, I like THIS better".

bablingbrooke · October 2009

If my FB is at all representative, the look we both had (strapless, dropped waist, little bit of train) was VERY popular this summer. I've seen at least 8 brides wear some version of it. And you know what? It's totally fine. I love how I looked in it, and that's all that mattered to me. And it's no surprise that so many people had it--it's a very flattering style no matter what your body type is.

megk8oz · October 2009

To all the ladies that b*tch about women wearing the same dress, meet Bridezilla Adrienne (Actual person from the show Bridezillas): [img]http://media.wetv.com/photo-galleries/Adrienne-BZ-gallery/AW%20Still2.jpg[/img] Not only is she wearing MY dress, but her BMs are wearing my BM dresses (My girls are in lapis instead of the black).

LarissaAnn · October 2009

LOL, Meg, it definitely makes things easier that way! I did 8 months, but it was similar. The first thing I did was my dress, though - 4 days after we got engaged, I picked out my wedding gown in 2 hours. I'm pretty decisive. Then BM dresses, that was easy. Then came the venue, then everything else.

Liz4444 · October 2009

well, i'm definitely one of those girls that's been planning my wedding since i was 5, but thank god i have since changed the details otherwise i would be wearing the dress from Guns N Roses "November Rain" video...

amw716 · October 2009

Meg, this is my first post on here but we have the same dress haha

megk8oz · October 2009

Amw, for realz? If so, then might I say, you have awesome taste.

LarissaAnn · October 2009

OMG, I had a formal dress back then that was short in the front & long in the back! I wore it to a school formal... it was also black & white polka dots. I was one hot chick, let me tell you.

Liz4444 · October 2009

larissa, i think those are some pictures that need to be shared!!!i cringe when i think of some of the things i work back then...

bablingbrooke · October 2009

meg--that photo is a good representation of how BMs won't look good if they aren't happy at the time of the wedding, no matter how nice the dress is. The BM on the far left looks PISSED.

megk8oz · October 2009

Hahaha, Brooke, if I remember the eps correctly, I believe the pissy looking BM is the bride's sister. Which, if I was this girl's sister, I'd be looking like "God, I hate this" in the pics, too. We should start using this pic as a PSA to all the brides thinking the WP owes them something: "See BM on the left? That's what they're ALL gonna look like if you don't pull that "tradition" stick outta your @$$"

Liz4444 · October 2009

did you see zilla's last weekend and the weekend before? that bride Karen, her girls are going to look way more pissed than that chick... if they even show up!

megk8oz · October 2009

Liz, oh holy crap, I was just talking to my mom about Karen yesterday. Our new "favorite thing ever" is to just randomly start sentences with "Listen to me, you Noin-Dohllaz-En-Owa Huehmen Being ...", lol.

LarissaAnn · October 2009

Liz, I'll see if I can find a photo - I think I had one tucked into a yearbook. It's print film, so I'll have to scan it. I'll try to find it post-Halloween when things aren't so crazy.
