Allyson--something cute and classy? I know. Not especially helpful, but I have no idea what you have in your wardrobe.
That's always my problem when offering advice on dress. Right now I have on a black and white print cotton voile skirt and a black sweater set with suede strappy heels that wrap and tie in the front and have a little flower down by the toes. It's my "I'm a princess on holiday" outfit.
My sistah! I'm looking for a dress to wear to my sister's wedding. That I'm in. And I've been told in no uncertain terms, "No black." Spring dresses and me are unmixy things.
If you're annoyed enough by this to throw caution to the wind and unleash the sartorial equivalent of a tac nuke, behold the bouquet halter in all its eye-searing glory!
Go-go boots and beehive wig sold separately.
Moses on a pogo stick, would someone make me do some work? WHY am I so fucking lazy?
Personally, I think you should start getting ready NOW so that you can meet Juliana and I at 5:15.
Matt, Cashmere loves her sister.
Does that help?
Possibly. I'm actually filling out the online application, although I'm still trying to figure out how to convey the information, "Would hold a valid credential if it didn't take the state of California 9 months to process applications." There's no check box.
But I have to do SOMETHING useful today!
Also, must get rid of this song.
But I'm clean! That's something, right?
Possibly.
I probably needed to use a bigger font. I guess font size really does matter.

Cashmere, too bad you aren't my sister, or at least in my sister's wedding--all the bridesmaids are being told is "black party-style dresses, knee-length to tea-length." The groomsmen are all wearing black shirts and pants with red ties, and the bridesmaids are all carrying a single red rose to continue the black-and-red motif. My sister's wedding gown is a gorgeous traditional sleeveless dress with a big train and lots of pretty beading, but I don't know yet what the groom is wearing.

We should have "big font day" here at b.org.
OK, maybe not....
It may be pricier than you were planning to go (generally in the $180-300 range for party dresses), but Watters has some totally gorgeous dresses in lickable colors all the way up to size 24. The women in my wedding party, ranging from a 2 to a 16 (maybe 18? can't remember), all wore Watters dresses and all looked extremely HOTT. They're not cheap dresses, but they're designed to fit actual female human bodies. And you can dance in them.
I am a sad, sad little dressy-dress pimp.
