Dress

My 2nd attempt at a wedding dress came yesterday from J Crew, and its pretty good. It is cotton, so completely breathable and comfy. It has an empire waist that just goes a-line out from it, so I don't have to have it altered or worry about waistline fluctuations between now and then. It has a deep v-neck that won't quite work for me, but with the material taken off of the bottom hem (because I am a short fry) I can fashion a sort of "modesty panel" to make it decent again. All in all, I really like it and think it will work well in my pursuit of having a casual feeling formal dress!

I am going to Tom's mom's tomorrow to see if she can do the hems and stuff. Hopefully I get out of this dress situation without having to drop any more money! $600 is a lot for a dress, and I still can't believe it came down to not being able to find a reasonable option under that amount, but its over and I don't have to think much about it anymore so that makes me happy!
