On a less joking note, I am loving the hell out of that veil anchor with the feathers. I've not seen that before and it looks awesome!

(Not trying to pick a fight, just curious!)
Then again, after seeing all those Pnina Tornai dresses on Say Yes to the Dress, everything else seems like footie pajamas by comparison.

(This was even before Vera Wang was infamous for her streamlined and simple style. Or, if she was known, it was for the very rich.)
And I had long sleeves on, with a sweetheart neckline. Granted, the sleeves were lace, and it was cut to conform to my body, but it was shocking because there was no big tulle skirt bottom that stuck out, no big veil attached to a crown!
So that's what I'm comparing it to. Oh, and Kleinfeld's was STILL in Brooklyn back then. None of this t.v. show in Manhattan boutique stuff.

I was surprised (and relieved!) when I discovered how divergent dress styles are becoming. When I went to Designer Loft, there were two other women there and we all had pretty different tastes.... one girl fell in love with a fairy princess Pnina dress (the skirt was ENORMOUS and used a gazillion yards of pink tulle). The other girl was looking at demure, lacy a-line dresses and I was looking for a slinky, Old Hollywood style. And we all found what we wanted!
It's funny... there are so many choices now, yet people still clutch their pearls when you decide to stray from traditional touches. They tried to put a veil on me at the store and there was such shockhorror when I said not to bother. :)
The dress I chose is little more than a long silk slip with a sheer beaded overlay and flutter sleeves. I'm sure it'll look like a glorified nightgown to some people. This is probably why it's also SO COMFORTABLE.
I tried on more traditional mermaid-y dresses and I thought I was going to be crushed. They're architectural marvels.
