A while back I posted photos of four dresses I could choose to wear
to an upcoming wedding, and had people vote on them. I was asked to post
which dress I finally wore, and I'm sorry to say it wasn't any one of
the original four I had chosen! (Here's the original post: http://kathrynekennedy.blogspot.com/2014/03/fantasy-author-kathrynekennedy-needs.html
)All except the black one was out of stock (and beware as well when a
site says the dress is 'returnable', when they actually mean
'exchangeable'. Learn from my mistake!) I did manage to order the black
one, but it was enormous. The entire bodice flopped down. So,
measurements don't help a lot when ordering a dress either! The sizes
vary from one designer to another, and don't be sad...ALL the dresses
run small, so you'll be ordering much larger than your regular size.
Anyway, I did manage to get a dress in time, as I went through another
ten or so choices that were all out of stock (or couldn't be ordered in
time for my wear-date. So another tip, order early. I started six months
out, figuring that would be plenty of time. Silly me.) Anyway, it's
with a sigh of relief that I'm sharing the photos of the dress I finally
chose. I went from fairy princess to a goddess sort of look, and I'm
happy to also report that I had many compliments on the dress. And that
it was a lovely wedding. Since the dress was so 'flowy' my husband made
me sit in the swing to take this photo, and I think he chose well.
And of course, I have to share one of the bride and groom, as that is the most beautiful, important dress!
Thank you for all your help, everyone!
My Magical Best,
Kathryne
