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

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
When I was a wee little girl, and swoony over anything having to do with brides, including the infamous "bride doll", brides could wear short cap sleeves, even off-the-shoulder cap sleeves, but they wore opera gloves that left only a modest amount of upper arm showing. Brides who wore elbow-length sleeves wore wrist-length gloves, and three-quarter sleeves got the cropped above the wrist gloves. How do I know all this? Because I used to read the society pages, wherein everyone who didn't elope or get married at city hall had their wedding reported, in delirious detail. The church, the flowers, the attendants' gowns, and the wedding gown and headdress. My pre-pubescent head swam with "sweetheart neckline edged with re-embroidered Alencon lace" vs. "a boat neckline and a bodice of draped and shirred tulle coming to a point at a dropped waist, that flared into a gathered skirt of tulle with beaded pailliettes over champagne satin." "A fingertip veil caught to a Juliet cap edged with pearls" vs. "A pearl tiara held her chapel-length veil." And then there was the ongoing question of when it's my turn will I carry an extravagantly described bouquet vs. a satin-covered prayerbook?

Ooh, where? Me too, even though it doesn't work for my favorite type of food.

My friend Cara's dress was similar to your first one, msbelle, except the skirt was all feathers instead of tulle.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Sleeves are nice. Not universally necessary, but I tend to go with them, or at least with straps. My boobular containment facility demands the extra fabric.
what do people mean when they say "modern"?
Usually, I mean "these days", or "recently" (for incredibly wide variation of either term). I've never meant earlier than 1900, but I usually mean since about 1950. In a formal literary context, I mean about 1920-1950, in contrast to post-modern art.
Not surprised about the NHL. Eric Wilbur (NESN Sports Blog) had a whole plan for how he would contract the NHL to 20 teams and restructure the whole shebang. Also, he suggested that the Garden aka FleetCenter may in the future be called GoldenPalace.com Center, if eBay is to be believed. This would be why I persist in calling in the Garden.
