I only suggested we go because i saw in the window a bridesmaid dress for my other engaged friend (Nina)'s royal purple colour scheme. She's a relatively new friend and one unlike any other because she genuinely goes giddy with excitement at the mention of weddings, and seeing as thats the major thing we have in common, that is generally the topic of conversation. She is good for me, i think, because, despite the fact it is only what, 10 months tomorrow, till the wedding i can't seem to get particularly excited. I feel that i shouldn't and thats societies aim, to make me feel like i'm doing something stupid at a stupid age, when i know anyway that this is the right thing to do... i shouldn't be so easily influenced! Anyway talking of being influenced, it turned out the bridesmaid dress wasnt right for what Nina wanted so i noticed there were some bridal gowns on sale, so i start half-heartedly going through them but now Nina is deep into full price ones with 'ooh's and 'ahhhh's and basically i've fallen for this dress. a very expensive dress. it's called Hawaii, which is just like a sign, cos that's where were off on honeymoon... So now i've ended up booking an appointment to try on these four dresses and am in serious danger of falling in love with them. but this wasn't the plan.
I did textiles at A-level and bloody loved it. I used to work on these projects, including my prom dress, with my mum and i guess it was a major bonding thing cause we argued like cats & dogs most of the rest of the time! Most recently we made this gorgeous authentic victorian corset complete with steel boning and clasps, in salmon pink silk detailed with brown trim. gorgeous. And now were a bit pleased with ourselves and reckon we can make my wedding dress.
So i've been checking out organic silks and the like, budgeting only about £100 for this thing.
And now i've fallen for an amazing £1570 frock.
...do i even try it on.......?
