Hi, Y'all,
My daughter and I just got home from shopping for a wedding dress. It is gorgeous. It has a lace bodice, with a full train, and beading all the way around the hem. It looked great, then the sales woman added the veil. I thought my daughter was going to cry. She tried on four dresses; two were strapless, and two had shoulder straps. The dress had straps. You don't want to worry about it falling down. I'll post a picture later when I can get my DH to get it off of my phone when he gets home.
Her matron on honor is 9 weeks pregnant after miscarrying the month before she got pregnant this time. She just came from the doctor and heard the heart beat on the sonogram. You could see a little bitty person on the picture. We found a royal purple dress that would accommodate the baby, too, in a month for the wedding.
My dress is teal. Yes, it is a mother dress, but it is long with a lace jacket over a sleeveless dress. I was surprised that it was a size smaller than I normally wear. I thought I'd get green to go with the purple. I could not get Aggie maroon. We'll all go for fittings next week.
My DD was shocked at the prices, but everything is expensive these days. I paid $100 at Foleys thirty seven years ago. It was a fourteen, and did not have to be altered. Boy, was I surprised. The wedding dresses today seemed to run small. Her dress was four sizes bigger, and it needed to be taken up in the bodice. I was shocked at the size. Four Sizes Bigger!!! I know what she wears, but gee!!
Oh, well, it will do the job. She finally got her engagement ring today after the store lost it when it was being resized. She was nearly hysterical yesterday. It was sent to the big Sears at the Galleria on the other side of Houston. It was a $1300 ring set that they got for $500. I thought they did well. Sears marks things down to 70% off sometimes. The big day is July 5.
