Does it include the neck ribbon thingie?
If you remove it her head falls off!

[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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Oh, wow. Does it include the neck ribbon thingie?
Nope. I added a very Audrey Hepburn-esque portrait collar to cover my shoulders and back for the church. I'll remove it for the reception.
Thank you, ChiKat. I almost want to marry the dress. But not quite.
Now give us the description...
Ivory silk mikado, hand-embroidered and beaded, chapel-length train that's already bustled three times, and simply beautiful. It's still the One. True. Dress.

sighhhhh...
If I lose a thousand pounds could I wear it?
How are you doing your hair? And do your brides maids know they're not allowed to eat things?

Trudes, you could wear it now. I'm certainly no skinny minny.
My hair is going to be half up, half down. The bangs will be swept across the forehead, and the crown will have a little height, because the 120 inch cathedral-length veil (which Mother insisted on) and headpiece needs a sturdy anchor. The sides will be pulled back and blended into the back of the hair, so it looks as if it's being invisibly held back.
And do your brides maids know they're not allowed to eat things?
BWAH! My bridesmaids will not be able to AVOID the food. Hello? Big fat Italian family here? Heh.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
the 120 inch cathedral-length veil
I'm a sucker for cathedral-length veils. Love love LOVE them. If I have a church wedding, I'm SO getting one.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It's just as well this is being done professionally, by which I mean someone other than me, as my interpretation of the above would be "Sticking out horizontally".

I love this one too, despite my initial reservations. It's got embroidery and beadwork on it--not plain at all. I picked it up last Friday, and it took my breath away. I'll try and take a picture of it this weekend.
Edited for context.

Not quite. Though I could have used you as my hairdresser in the '80s.
Girls can be silly on occasion.

Because books.
It's still the One. True. Dress.
It really is breathtaking. I can't wait to see pictures of the wedding! And gorgeous Maria the Bride!

I'm with your Mother. If you're going to have the wedding of weddings a 120' veil is the way to go.
