I'm going out to dinner & grabbing a movie with FI for some much needed time away from 3 teenagers!  :)  I hope Lincoln's Law is a decent movie!

But tomorrow it's back to wedding issues - my dress to be exact,  the lace is ripped.  Hope it can be fixed! And checking out linen rentals.  :)

    Skype chatting with Brit FI while he's still awake. Then probably some reading, maybe a streaming Netflix. I'm watching some 50s films from time-to-time for inspiration for my retro wedding.

    @spikeinc: I bought this one: http://www.lightinthebox.com/A-line-Scoop-Tea-length-Satin-Wedding-Dress--HSX1237-_p35278.html And the bolero to go with it, like the real woman in the reviews named Barbara has on.

    I am getting a fuchsia crinoline from Esty to go under it--which costs about as much as the dress!

    If you are interested in other 50s dresses, we hang out in the Retro + Vintage board and talk about those there.

    @Lucy: everything was exactly as they promised. Fabric, color, timeline. And the women's reviews were dead on, I thought. The only thing crappy was the little pinned on flower--and people mentioned that! I have since bought a nice little blue one on Etsy.

    The quality of the fabric was really nice heavy satin--it was not cheap and thin stuff. I can sew enough to recognize a decent seam, and I thought it was all well done. The built-in bra is fine, and that was important to me. I really doubt I could have even bought the fabric here for $99 that I paid. And I figured at that price I could afford to screw up and use it for parts if I had to.

    I did buy an off-the-rack 16 though, so I didn't do the custom sizing. But the reviews suggest that went quite well for the women who chose to write at least. I need to get it shortened, but I wanted to wait until I got my own crinoline and shoes anyway. I intend to use the remaining fabric around my button bouquet.

    So I was pleased. But I wanted something simple. I know that's not for everyone--and more complex dresses may have other issues.

    We did what we do most Fridays--picked up dinner at Chipotle, then headed over to a friend's house for her weekly get-together.  In theory, it is a tv night, but in fact there ends up being a lot more socializing than watching tv.

    Movie Reviews!

    If you're a die hard Matthew Mcconaughey fan see the movie!  It's kinda slow moving but it does have a bit of a twist.  Marisa Tomei is also one of the leads - she's decent.  The last thing I saw her in was My Cousin Vinny and she looks NOTHING like she did in that. 

    If you not a die hard Matt fan you can definately wait for video release.
