Yeah, that's what I figured. I'm so happy for you and Christopher. Have you told your folks yet or are you waiting?

Spike's Bitches 24: I'm Very Seldom Naughty.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I just nuked frozen broccoli and american cheese.
Surprisingly tasty for something that easy.
This particular store ONLY carried the dress in a 10 and took my measurements in the middle of the showroom and I had to order a size 20.
Maybe it was in lj. I was thinkinga bout it and getting hungry. and thinking if I could find it I'd make it tomorrow.
Isn't bridal-cult 20 like a normal 2 or something?
Who the fuck knows. But I found out there is a 14 inch difference between waist and hips and an 8 inch between bust and waist.
Isn't bridal-cult 20 like a normal 2 or something?
Yes, and they always order too big, so they can make more money on alterations.

I've told mine, he's stubborn about telling his. I'm leaving that up to him, but if they bitch about it--he gets to take the heat.

I know we've gone through this before. Aimee, they made me "imagine" how my dress would look while I tried on the only size 18 dress they had in the shop, with the big gaping wide back that they couldn't zip. And this is when I weighed 140 fucking pounds. It's evil, we all know it.
NOBODY SHOULD EVER JUDGE THEIR SIZE ACCORDING TO WEDDING/BRIDESMAID DRESSES.
That way lies pain.
When I was in my mother's wedding in high school I was a size 2 and the bridal shop made me order an 8.
Cashmere, do you have a due date yet?
Wow. I had no idea wedding dresses were so evil in their sizing notions. Despite my number of marriages I never went that route. The first trip down the aisle my one attendant and I just went shopping and bought regular dresses we liked. Mine was a yellow lacy mini-dress. The second event my dress was made by the costume designer for the opera company DH#2 worked for at the time and my attendant made her own dress. My FINAL trip down the aisle a friend made my dress and my attendant happened to have a lovely dress in her closet the same off white color so we went with it.
It was more about the people than the clothes for me.
I should be in bed. Another long day. Since I worked all day I agreed to watch a movie with Bobby when I got home. We watched National Treasure which was satisfying. And Nick Cage which always works for me.
