Tonight, the wedding dress consultant got mad at me for not having a dress picked out yet. The problem is that I have all the odds stacked against me.
* I need a modest dress with sleeves
* I want a dress to fit in with the classic vintage (1920s)theme
* I need it to be in my size (I currently fit into wedding dresses from sizes 8-14)
* I need a dress that looks good with my body type (probably the hardest one to satisfy) A-line and Empire waist types look best on me (It has to fit my larger chest, small waist, and hide my enormous hips)
* I don't want to spend a fortune
So...does anyone have any suggestions? Or does anyone know someone who has a spare wedding dress lying around that might possibly match that description?
I'm freaking out here.
Have I said congrats on the engagement yet? If not, I am so happy for you! Do you remember my dress? Probably not...but theres a couple pics on facebook in my profile pics. I had my dress made, and it was 500 for the work, and I paid for the material which was about 200. But, mine was vintage-esque. It had a high collar and a v-neck, empire waist with a satin belt-like sashe, then poofed out. Here's a link to a dress that I sort of got the idea from.

Except mine was more boxy. Depending on the materials you use, it can look less princess-y like mine and more 1920's. BUT, if your trying to buy one already made the way you want....good luck! I couldn't find one I liked so I had mine made in Utah.
Hope that helped in some way!
