Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
that weird pick-up detailing on the skirt, which always looks like static cling to me.
It really does look odd, huh?

Aimee, I kinda-sorta like the dress you linked to, but I'm always wary of dresses where they don't show you what the dress looks like on someone standing naturally. I worry that the ruching on the skirt would look rumpled instead of deliberate. I also think that strapless bridesmaid dresses are a touch cruel to the bridesmaids; heaven knows *I* wouldn't want to wear a strapless dress in someone's wedding.

I'm back from the hairdressers. I hate the cut and am resisting the urge to attack it with scissors.

Good call.
When I was first choosing dresses, I was the largest sized of the wedding party and thanks to my great-grandmother's foundation items I inherited, I felt good wearing a strapless dress. I forgot that my sister just replaced one of her girls with her other friend who is larger than I and would probably not be comfortable.
The other direction we're thinking about going is David's seperates and telling the girls, "Choose whatever, just choose Apple."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Out of all of the full-length dresses in Apple on that site, I'd choose this one: [link]
It's the most generally flattering, and it comes with a wrap for those who are self-conscious about their arms.
I'm also a fan of letting the women choose what they want, as long as it's in the right color.

Spaghetti straps can be tough for some, though.
As long as you've picked a very specific color (Apple rather than "red"), I think letting people pick their own can be really interesting visually.
ETA: does separates mean no dresses, just two pieces? And what time of day is the wedding?

We did that for our friend K's wedding (the one who's due on Monday) Really cool since none of us chose the same.
ETA: I would let them know about any restrictions your sister might want as far as style. Like "please no one get the corset" or "full length skirts only please"

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Hi, all! Thanks for the ~ma this morning. The interview went well (I think). Good rapport with all, and the answers I gave were ones I hope they wanted to hear. All I could do was be me and answer truthfully. Hopefully, my philosophy and skill set are what they are looking for. Next step: checking references and making a decision by next week. Continued ~ma till then would be great.
Besides the interview, I had a good day. Met some friends for late breakfast then we went to see Shrek 3. Just got home.
Oh, and it seems I'll be getting my hair cut by Ben from Shear Genius next Saturday.
