Swouncing

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.

The NHL has decided to pine for the fjords this season.

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

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

My mom's wedding dress was an a-line long sleeved dress that ended about 4 inches above her knees. Had a little standup mock turtleneck collar.

Hey, it was 1968 (maybe '67?) and they got married in the farmhouse livingroom. She looked 12. But then, she looked 12 until late in her 20s.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Dude, I swear half the time, LJ doesn't show me all the damn posts.

Amych, you hid it in a *sports* post!

Sneak.

Gorgeous dress, though.

Amych, your dress is fantastic (I mention this because it's like a better version of my dress without the flower my dress has).

Beverly, thank you for the link the pretty royal dress. I like the 50s styling.

I found a new breakfast place. As usual, breakfast is STILL my favorite out to eat meal.
