So...I cheated

Sabina1313 · October 2009

I'm not sure it's any worse than the original dress she was trying to find.[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v161/Diannew/Knights%20Tale/Jocelyn12.jpg[/img]

noelle24 · October 2009

I don't know, Sabina. With the exception of color, I think the neckline on the Knight's Tale dress is more flattering. AND there are no pick-ups, AND the volume seems less. The original dress.... well, just ick. Huge volume, a bazillion pick-ups, square neckline, and weird length sleeves?

Acrosthec · October 2009

I actually love the Knight's Tale dress. But probably not for a wedding dress, even if it was white. Unless you're having a medieval theme wedding, and hey, I LARP, and go to ren faires, so I'm totally cool with that.

Sabina1313 · October 2009

I'm trying to imagine what that 2nd one would look like in white since that's what she wanted. Might be more flattering but it still gives me the visual of her walking around gnawing on a smoked turkey leg during the reception

salt78 · October 2009

The second I saw her post the pickup princess dress with the weird sleeves, I suspected MUD.

jeanacorina · October 2009

I just thought maybe she posted the wrong dress pic. I don't really think MUD, but then I don't have as much experience since I don't spend time on P&E. This would be one very patient, subtle MUD up until now.Plus, she'd have responded if she was MUD, isn't that what they do?

Acrosthec · October 2009

It's not MUD. And she didn't post the wrong picture. Not unless she did it on other forums besides this one.Google the SN.

jeanacorina · October 2009

Pshh, Acro-- there you go being snoopy again.

Acrosthec · October 2009

Boredom. Trying to avoid doing real work. My boss's secretary is breathing down my neck to get it done ASAP though because the potential client is a friend of hers. If she knew I was going to tell her we don't have a case, she may not be so eager for me to finish, but whatever.

salt78 · October 2009

Acro is an internet ninja.

noelle24 · October 2009

There's also a webshots album with her signature pic, this dress pic, a pic of FI, and two random pictures of hip x-rays with tons of screws in them.... weird.

Acrosthec · October 2009

two random pictures of hip x-rays with tons of screws in them.... weird.From her SN this isn't weird to me at all. I'd be willing to bet she sustained an injury falling off a horse. I fell off and got hurt a few years ago and didn't catch it (I just thought I had a really bad sprain in my back/hip or something, so I dealt with it for months). By the time I had it x-rayed, the bones had already reset, and so now my left leg is two inches longer than my right because I cracked bones in my right hip and they fused together incorrectly. It happens. A lot.

noelle24 · October 2009

I know it happens, and I also figured it was from riding.I just meant it was kind of randomly thrown in with a wedding dress and two pics of her and her FI. They're very weird when put together with nothing else, that's all.

tiiiffffff · October 2009

I think it's strange that she has responded to a bunch of other posts today, but not this one.

Sabina1313 · October 2009

I don't find that strange in the least actually. heh

Goldlie11 · October 2009

I'm kind of late on this, but I don't really like the dress. Then again, I don't like gowns that are super poofy and puffy. The sleeves are really bad. However, everyone has their own taste in wedding gowns. P.S. I do think that you need to keep your story straight, OP. First you would never want to jump the gun, now you already bought the gown? Which story is it? Did you have a change of heart?

noelle24 · October 2009

I think it's strange that she has responded to a bunch of other posts today, but not this one.I'm not. I'm actually impressed that she's avoiding the drama. But like Goldie, I'm curious about the inconsistencies.

Goldlie11 · October 2009

I was looking at the dress again. Even though I still don't like the sleeves, I think that the neckline is the biggest problem. Even with the sleeves, it MIGHT look okay if the neckline were changed. I still wouldn't buy it. Although I'm a pretty big internet shopper, I wouldn't buy my dress online unless I had tried on the same dress in a shop already. I'd be too scared. Like someone else said (Noelle, I think) I hope that they have an excellent return policy.

Goldlie11 · October 2009

I'm kind of disappointed that she hasn't come back too. Seriously, if you've changed your mind and position on preplanning, be woman enough to admit it. You (OP) certainly wouldn't be the first woman in the world to change here mind about something.

bbyckes · October 2009

Please return it. It is not beautiful. It is fussy and overdone and really you should be ashamed for purchasing a dress without being asked first. You will not continue to be patient, as you haven't been. Exercising patience =/= purchasing a wedding dress prior to being proposed to.

samcginnis08 · October 2009

Its alright to look and get ideas!I have looked at tons of things to get a basic outline of what I want. My boyfriend and I have even started to check off the check list. To arixana--- I am also expecting it a week before Christmas when I get home from Russia (Dec 17th)I have not seen my bf since Aug because I defered from my university and am out here living in Russia teaching for four months. Just so excited knowing he is going to pop the question about a week after I get home

Sabina1313 · October 2009

Sam... she didn't just look. She bought the damn thing.

Pirata13 · October 2009

This totally made my day and has me geared up for the weekend! Good. Stuff.

steffenfam · October 2009

UGLY. And pick-ups are WAY past their prime (meaning: outdated), and you're not even engaged yet. But hey, congratulations, all the dress looking and buying fun is OVER. And you have a dress that people will be talking about behind their hands, and not in a good way. You jumped the gun sweetheart, enjoy!

MellyOAnn · October 2009

I'm on a tight "budjet" as well. I found and purchased a gown in a store that is $200 cheaper than the pre-shipping price of that monstrosity. Oh, and I had been engaged for about six months by the time I purchased said dress.

RedMinx · October 2009

Wow...I mean to each her own on what type of dress you want...but buying one online without trying it on...and BEFORE you are engaged...Yikes.Is anyone else thinking about the "Friends" episode where Rachel flings open the door in a wedding dress, and Joshua goes running?

BTW, since Panda has now re-found this thread and introduced it, I went and checked up on the OP, and she is still NEY. But by now she probably *does* have a dress...

notquiteblushing · January 2010

The oops I bought my dress thread is back!

Acrosthec · January 2010

Well, we have a lot of new people that would't know what Panda was talking about in her post, so I figured I'd go ahead and respond so it'd come back and people who have been asking "just what *does* it mean to be BSC?" would have a reasonable example from someone who is *not* an ice-rink wedding troll.
