Somehow it seems like the perfect Bitches activity, co-operative wedding dress searching.
What? She killed 'em with mathematics. What else could it have been?

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

My wedding dress [link] is tucked in the back of a closet. I should find a home for it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Pretty! Could you get it altered? I would think that wouldn't take too long.
Eta: that was addressed to sj, Ginger's dress is also pretty!

McCrea Couture goes from x-small to 5x. They have a variety of options. No idea what their turn around time is, though. [link]

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Could you get it altered?
If it's too small? I'm not sure.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think the bridal industry never changed with the rest of the ready-to-wear sizing.
This, pretty much. It's not a conspiracy from the bridal industry to make women feel fat, it's just that they never bothered to change their sizing to keep up with the rest of the clothing world. (Where the thinking is, if we relabel all our size 12s as 10s, women will think they've lost weight and buy our clothes! Nobody ever seems to think, "Hey, if we relabel all our size 12s as 10s, women who know they're the same size as last year and buy things without trying them on will be PISSED OFF THAT THEY HAVE TO COME BACK.")

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Or you can do what my tall and kinda square-bodied cousin did--she found a vintage pattern and got a local seamstress to make it for her. Looked fabulous!

Punishingly Intricate
I'm possibly just to opinionated.
I think your wedding dress is something you get to be as opinionated as you want about!
And margaritas is totally hydrating.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
