Auntie Em tries on some dresses.

I was informed yesterday that I needed to be down at the bridal store to try on bridesmaid dresses for my sister in law's upcoming wedding in a little over a month. I wish I had more notice on the matter, but what are you gonna do?

Regardless it was nice to see both of them, they both look fantastic and well, I could stand to lose about 65 pounds. But we don't mention that do we? It was a suck it up, Em, moment, and I think I acheived it quite well. Granted, the bra did not come off.

The bride to be, in her perfect measurements (*grumble grumble grumble*) looked fantastic in her dress, bustle and all, very Gone With the Wind feel to it, which is what she was going for. The colors? White and apple.

I will never understand that whole color thing when it comes to dresses. Dresses are not crayons, we do not need "carnation dream" or "apple". There is red, there is pink, there is green, light green... you get the idea. Far too complicated a system.

As Katie would say, bygones.

I digress. I tried on about ten different dresses, and I gotta say, the long red halter, looks effing stellar on me. Hott in fact. I need to tone up a few things and make sure the girls are nestled in just right during the wedding, but holy cow, that is quite the dress for me.

I am happy there will more than likely be no alternations other than (hopefully) taking it in before the wedding, and not much stress on me in planning.

Did I mention that I looked good in the dress? Good.
