Classic, @americankorean! Something you could even wear again. I love all these sandals!

The dress is from 1955 and has been sitting in a cardboard banker's box in my grandmother's attic for the last 60 years. I tried it on once when I was about 11. Never preserved, just put in a box. Still has confetti in the lacing and is in wonderful condition; makes you think twice about preservation! She was originally planning on just donating it to the local thrift shop she volunteers at just to get it out of her attic.

I was hoping to be able to cut off the sleeves and the lace overlay and just use the bodice and silk underneath, but it might be too much of a nightmare so hurray for possible dress shopping!

OK so I've gone a bit crazy. I already had my dress, a little off the rack beaded number I was very happy with (an you can find it up thread)... and then I went and made an appointment at Jenny Packham and tried on this dress and fell in love, and needless to say it's like 30 times the price of the other one and I just had to have it lol.

@nicemarmot Bring both to Vegas! No reason you can't wear the first one around for going out and stuff

@damnthetorpedoes totally! I'm sure I will be able to wear the short dress on more than one occasion, but looking forward to wearing it in my honeymoon in any case :-)

I wanted to get married in my favourite jeans but was overruled by the Lovely Man, so I've opted for a long dress:
Tassel Tie Maxi Dress

Don't seem to be able to post a picture but here is the link to the jacket:to match the frock:(and best of all, it was half price in the sale):

Because I'm short, I've had my dress altered professionally. Daren't try it on now, 'cos if the length's wrong it's far too late to do anything about it, we set off in a week's time. *gulp*

I found my dress in the very first shop and i'm now panicking that I splurged too soon as I've still got 12 months to go!

I NEED to stop browsing online.

For the curious - this is the dress that took a chunk of change out of my budget ;-)

Me and my lovely bridesmaid...

So, after giving my grandmother's wedding dress a steam and attempting (key word: attempting) to try it on, I have realized that I would need to loose another 10 pounds and wear a corset or something underneath, as it's extremely itchy. I guess in the 1950's, shape wear was just a given, and garments were constructed differently.

So now I'm back to square one. Seriously considering either a cocktail dress or a cheap full-length dress for the wedding; fiancee has vetoed my idea of getting a LBD. I'm torn between getting a traditional wedding dress or going with something quirky and cocktail-length. I'm really thinking I would enjoy short more, but I want the long length for more traditional photos... Decisions, decisions! Maybe a high-low is the way to go.

There's always doing both!

And a number of companies around Vegas rent nice dresses and wedding gowns, if you don't want to be stuck owning multiple dresses.
