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!
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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.

Could you get it altered?
If it's too small? I'm not sure.

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.

Mostly lurking...
As far as I can see the only bad thing is flying with them. Just know you're going to be searched and be grateful you aren't Arab-lookin'.
For the record, I have had NO troubles flying with my CPAP. Though, it’s so flippin’ huge that I always have to check baggage. But, I’ve never had the little search note in my bags since flying with it, so… also, I just carry a letter saying what it is. But, I don’t care about being searched. It kind of makes me laugh. When I flew to MI this summer I was searched on the way there. The guy opened my carryon suitcase, looked at me and said, “Are you a preschool teacher? I’ve never seen anyone fly with this many books and games!”
But damn it, I would like a week or at least a day of people being nice to me.
I would like to live closer so I could be nice every day, with quiche (on my mind tonight) and snuggles with the kids, and brownies, and wine for us, much good chatting, and dirty looks at the neighbors and evil bosses.
Mom and I went everywhere looking for a simple dress for my wedding and found nothing. It’s too late to order a proper wedding dress, and I way overdid it walking today. I am ridiculously cranky right now, and the body image demons are attacking.
DISLIKE!
I just ordered something that Val found for me the other day, but I think it is going to be a size to small.
Oh, YAY! I’m so glad you ordered that. And when it comes, if it’s too small, we’ll find an amazing seamstress to make it work. When will it get here?
I'm possibly just to opinionated.
You’re allowed, my friend! And seriously, there are some magician seamstresses out there. If you like the dress when it comes, we’ll make it work.
In mememe, I am exhausted. Being effective with everyone at work is exhausting. I can't wait till they all chill and don't have 500 questions a day (which will be when they all leave in June next year). But, mostly right now I'm just pissed at the "new school" that shot off from my old school. Apparently, they're using my after school schedule, to the T, including a day that is entirely my concept. How do they think that is ok? I mean, it's one thing to say, "Wow, we really liked how vw did a cooking day, a craft day, a game day, etc." But, to use the day that was my concept, and use the letter I sent to the parents that described what that day would be to further their planning is just SO not ok in my book.
There's nothing I can do, and I'll let it go. But right now, I'm just fit to be tied.

What's the recommended method for getting odors like smoke out of something you don't want to wash, like a corset? Cheap vodka in a spray bottle? Do you dilute it with water?
Yes. Cheap vodka + water, usually a 1:1 ratio.
I'm possibly just to opinionated.
No such thing, especially when it comes to your wedding dress. I am a scatterbrain AND a skimmer, so please remind me: when do you need the dress by?
