I've ordered 2 dresses and also some possible spring slacks that I need. More ordering to come and I'll hit up some bridal shops too.Juhlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440147890620303894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-62367094420753236402013-02-10T20:12:07.157-05:002013-02-10T20:12:07.157-05:00I think that your shopping strategy will work out ...I think that your shopping strategy will work out just fine. I also like the suggestion about looking on the internet. The bridal stores will probably have the best selections.

I am doing short but it still needs to be very dressy.Juhlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440147890620303894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-19019830930732990492013-02-10T11:27:46.829-05:002013-02-10T11:27:46.829-05:00I shop online a great deal, however I "know m...I shop online a great deal, however I "know my size" ninety percent of the time at three or four websites. even if you don't shop online I would suggest you spend a day looking and if you see something that is close towhat you like, print it out so you can say "something like this"<br /><br />I tend to go with a duster and dress for something like that, but this is sleeveless admittedly<br /><br />http://www.ullapopken.com/product/crinkle+dress+set.do?sortby=ourPicksBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15195838412173806659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-55765710371622835262013-02-10T11:25:56.133-05:002013-02-10T11:25:56.133-05:00I think I'd look like a sausage in a bandage d...I think I'd look like a sausage in a bandage dress! I just want to be comfortable and look good for the photos. I did just find two to order from Macy's website and hubby liked one a lot. The Macy's here don't carry either but they have free shipping on returns.Juhlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440147890620303894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-17569570150814243422013-02-10T11:24:11.422-05:002013-02-10T11:24:11.422-05:00Thanks.

At the last wedding I went to, I was shocked at the "bandage" dresses most of the women were wearing... most in 2 sizes too small. Eek! I think a towel wrapped around me would have covered more! lol!! I hope you find that perfect dress!! Please post a photo if you can after you find it... :) ~Carla~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02341057469246030024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-63620401534481424592013-02-10T09:37:54.050-05:002013-02-10T09:37:54.050-05:00I find it really hard to find an outfit just to at...I find it really hard to find an outfit just to attend a wedding so I feel your pain - I would go the personal shopper route too. Good luck :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
