When we decided on a venue, I knew that my choice of dress would have to go a certain way more than another. For instance, no ball gowns for the garden wedding. I loved the look of this Lela Rose dress. It was simple, yet different. It was gorgeous.
But... how the heck would I have it shortened without ruining the look of the skirt? I just couldn't risk paying that much money to screw it up. So... it was off to the drawing board. Where did I turn to next? Well, my good friend JCrew, of course.
Something about how simple this dress was won me over. I hate to tell you what made me throw it out. Pit marks. That's right... a wedding at 3:30 on a July afternoon was just asking for sweaty pits. I couldn't deal with that. So, this dress was out. Another JCrew dress caught my eye, however.
I LOVED the neckline. I'm drawn to the big and bold, so this dress naturally made me smile. After quite a bit of hemming and hawing, I decided that the dress wore me rather than me wearing it. I was quite bummed because both JCrew dresses were reasonably priced. But, I knew I had to move on... so, these are not my dress.
