Wedding type bullshit

[HEIRESS]

I just bought this dress (http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=1999988&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=208523&parent_categoryId=203984&pageSize=20&refinements=Colour) online...

even with shipping it was only $131 CDN FUCKYEAH.

Plus its one of the only gowns i've found where I wont be forced to buy some backless strapless 90 dollar bra that I will never wear again so its a deal and a half.

Previously bought this dress (http://www.shopruche.com/tulle-around-town-lace-dress-by-ryu-p-4948.html) and on the website it says "cream" plus as you can see the picture makes it look barely off-white. I am all over not wearing traditional white and although it fit perfectly, in person it looked like a white dress that had been steeping in orange pekoe tea for 30 years. I am talking straight brown. Oh well...

Fingers crossed for this one...

I asked my husband to be what he wanted to wear on his wedding day and he sent me this picture (http://www.thesartorialist.com/photos/71810ouigi_7793Web.jpg), so :)

Well, it's different!

i think the second one much nicer anyway, it's lovely, and should match the boater and braces look well too:D

[M|X|Y]

I like your style.. try something different (y)

Weddings seem to be all around me right now. My sister and her f are trying to get one together and seem to mostly be going the traditional way and finding that no matter what catering halls they go into, no matter which bridal show they go to, shit is just insanely expensive no matter what.

The best wedding I went to was in a chapel in the country with a reception in the barn of a public park with a 3 piece bluegrass band. This was in the Northeast, not exactly where you'd expect this kind of thing.. but they made it happen this way and it was great.

Anywhere online to look for untraditional ideas I can pass along?

[nodanaonlyzuul]

I really liked that first one you bought, too bad about the color. But the second is still very you. Thanks for sharing!

TopShop is a bastard. They cancelled my order and didn't even have the decency to send me an email saying so until I badgered them online about my my order status being gone all of a sudden. And now just a week later the dress isn't available on the US or the UK website.

:( /ugh.

[nodanaonlyzuul]

WHAT?! Ew. :( That's shitty.

[Dorothy Wood]

it's okay, that dress probably had a curse on it. :(

[little j]

[miss soul fire]

I didn't even know you were getting married! So, "belated" congrats!:D

Ach, Topshop are bastards. Their owner Phillip Green is very unpopular here right now because he's (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/dec/03/topshop-philip-green-tax-avoidance-protest) avoided masses of tax bills. Don't all the rich?

Sorry to hear about that. I'm heartened to hear that you have a similar approach to wedding attire as me and my hubby did.

I'm sure that the perfect dress is waiting for you somewhere. :)

CONGRATS TO YOU TWO!

[HEIRESS]

IZZUPDATE!

So after reading my tale of woe a kind bbmb member (the lovely trailerprincess) messaged me and said she would call all of the topshops in her vicinity (14 in all) to see if they had my size left in store and if so she'd pick it up and mail it to me. Nicest offer ever (made me teary, I'll admit) but alas my size was also sold out at all the outlets. We even checked on E-bay but my size was nowhere to be found.

Did she give up after this setback (because let's be honest, I myself had), HECK NO! She went even further above and beyond and remembered that a friend of hers was coming to visit soon from Dublin so she rang up the 3 topshops in dublin and low and behold ONE HAD MY SIZE!

So her friend purchased the dress, passed it onto trailerprincess in London and this week I received it in my hands! The dress fits perfect (just some minor adjustments need to be made to the bust/hem length) and I couldnt love it more.

So let us take a moment to appreciate the kindness of others, and let's acknowledge that sometimes e-friends from this board do more for us with just their kind words/advice/jokes than some of the people we think we can count on IRL.

TrailerPrincess, your kindness and help with never be forgotten (I hope the thank you gift on its way brightens your day when it arrives)

BBMB 4 LYYYYYFE (y):D

[trailerprincess]

awwww shucks :o It was my pleasure and just so glad I could help x

[cosmo105]

that is so awesome. brava, trailerprincess! (y)

[Yorkshire~Rose]

Fantastic! She's a top girlie is our TP and so are you Heiress - very well deserved.

[nodanaonlyzuul]

Oh my god! How amazingly sweet! :D What a gal, that trailerprincess.

Can't wait to see pics of you in your dress Airesse!

[venusvenus123]

That is completely brilliant. Well done for finding it TP!

I look forward to seeing your scrumptious self decked out in said dress. :cool:


*like like like* :D

[HEIRESS]

Thanks Guys!

You earned that blushy emoticon TP!
