Oh, I really like pricess margaret's dress.
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

My dress has wide straps, but not sleeves.
Details! Are you getting one made like that incredible one you linked to? Veil? Bling?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
"Modern", to me, mostly means 20th century, though in some moods it just means post-Industrial Revolution. I use it very very vaguely, so I'm probably no help.
There are bridal shops that specialize in modest dresses for religious girls. I looked at some of them - most of the ones in California were geared towards Catholics and the dresses were not my taste. Not that those two things have anything to do with one another. I eventually found my long-sleeved dress in a "normal" shop that happened to have a large and varied selection. They're out there, but they aren't featured. I assumed it was a fashion thing that I wasn't following, or possibly seasonal.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Margaret's dress is similar to the dress I've coveted most: Julie Andrews' in Sound of Music. [link]

Betsy, the funny thing is, I (for example) wouldn't be able to wear practically any of the dresses in your link (neckline too open, sleeves too short, the dress too tight). And it's this way in Israel, too.
What most of my friends do (who don't have dresses made for them from scratch) is making alterations - adding some light material to lengthen sleeves or close up necklines, stuff like that. Or what other have described here - adding a top part over an already existing dress (which is what my roommate will wear in her in-three-weeks-minus-a-day wedding).
Thanks, -t.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Strapless? Geez. I can tell you that if I ever get married, I am not spending the entire day worrying that I'm about to fall out of my dress. (Also strapless is not a style that works well on me in general.)
I have my grandmother's dress from 1940, which is lovely (if a bit fragile at this point) and has sleeves and fits me almost perfectly. Plus, an adorable Juliet cap. So there's always that option.

When the dress is fitted properly, this isn't a problem.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
My dress was plain, longsleeved but off the shoulder with no frills. I could not find one wedding dress without bows, lace, pearls, muttonchop sleeves and in one particualrly hideous case- pom poms. I got a bridesmaid's dress in white.

I don't follow the NHL, but wow, that's a lot of money to throw away over how to split it up.
