Laundry and dishes are done. I do believe it is cocktail hour for Miss Gennie.
Today my sister and I began to peruse Bridesmaid gowns. I must ask, "Are they all that boring and/or ugly?"
There was one that I found to be slightly attractive but do they show you what their definition of royal blue is? no.
That is it, I think any of my bridesmaids will have to wear burlap sacks.

How old are your bridesmaids? I'm a big fan of www.dresses.com and www.loralie.com, Loralie might not be age appropriate...of course, in my group there's no such thing. I'm making all of mine, but then, we're also thinking Ren Faire.

Well they will range in age from fifteen to twenty six. Soooooo... quite a few things to cover.

Actually, they might like the things at the Loralie site, and if I recall correctly, they do some alterations so your garments don't fit like off-the-rack. I had a prom dress from them, but I don't remember which one. The colors are gorgeous, and they offer four basic shapes that are pretty flattering on most figures.

Hrm. Well I figure the girls can pick anything they like to wear. All I am asking for is for everyone to try and get within a shade or two of each other regarding color.

Yay for weddings that don't result in unwanted pink taffeta ballgowns. :)

*laughs* True.
I just don't want people looking blah. I want someone to genuinely like their dress.

You should help me look at bridesmaid dresses. Find the least ugly of the bunch.

From: [identity profile] noogienubs.livejournal.com
dude I'm trying to find some..I don't think I want the shorter dresses because I want to keep it a bit more traditional, but there's the factor that not everyone in the bridal party is a size 2!

Date: 2004-10-11 09:35 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] gfrancie.livejournal.com
Exactly! I figure the only way to do it is to pick my colors and tell the girls, "here are some styles that might flatter you and do come in the color I want. Knock yourself out."

Date: 2004-10-11 10:19 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] noogienubs.livejournal.com
yeah that's a good idea.

totally off topic but god DAMN this (http://www.lazarobridal.com/bridal/fall2004/LZ6643.html) is a beautiful dress!

Most I find to be absolutely dull. I am also thinking about different body types and most seem designed for just one. What if a person doesn't have much in the way of tits. Or maybe they have quite a few tits?

Plus some seem so late sixties. It is like my Mother said, "My God I wore that gown to a school dance."

*laughs* Well then play up the tits since you got them.

I just want to avoid the whole periwinkle a-line gown thing.

Yeah. Everyone seems to be doing that for the bridesmaids. I think it is high time I stop that.

I like to match so if one thing is ugly, everything else needs to be ugly too!

The "accent" color I am iffy about.

you want a royal blue?

I've been tossing around cornflower but I also like wine or rose..

Date: 2004-10-12 11:13 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] gfrancie.livejournal.com
Ooo wine would be pretty.

I am thinking royal blue and maybe a peachy champagne color.

Oh btw what do you need addresses for?

Oh good lord...just what I need to feed my neurotic behavior.

Stalking purposes? cool. I knew I was a beloved personality on three contintents but I didn't know it went this far.

From: [identity profile] noogienubs.livejournal.com

ah. I couldn't find it at first when I typed that in. Maybe I am on crack.

I just looked at the weddings immigration community and some of those people have all sorts of things to deal with. Makes Andrew's immigration stuff seem easy.

The bride gets the really nice dress. The bridesmaids should make the bride look beautiful. Therefore THEY should have really ugly dresses that make them look like a matched set of jello salads. If there is a bridesmaid that you think might be prettier than you -- make real sure she gets the UGLIEST dress.

Nope. I am pretty confident that all eyes will be on me because I will have the more interesting headpiece. Plus I have always promised people that the girls wouldn't be stuck in anything that has the phrase, "taffeda" near it or is an awful beige color.

the mix and match separates work well. they're the same color, but you can pick different styles for different body types. my friend actually used one of the gowns for a bridal gown.

i was going to make a joke about having all your bridesmaids wear pink sweatsuits like britney spears did for her wedding, but i will refrain... you have 42 comments on this entry, someone probably said it already :)

Oooh now there is an idea. Or maybe I can have them all wear school girl outfits.
