Hi,
I''m just starting the dress hunt but having trouble finding something that I really like that isn''t too over the top for an outdoor 11amish wedding this July.
A bit about me first:
33, 2nd marriage (1st husband died of cancer), being married on the Quad at the Univeristy of Illinois July 2005. Measurements: 36D on top, 28 waist, 37 hips. I''m about 5''4".
Here''s my wish list. If anyone has seen anything you think would work please post. Thanks.
1. Sheath or A line with minimal train since this will be outside with no runner etc.
2. Simple dress that is soft to the touch. I really don''t want the crisp satin fabric or a dress that will require a tulle underslip. Chiffon would be great. Definitely don''t have a requirement of silk etc.
3. Spaghetti straps, strapless or halter style
4. White instead of ivory (fiance looks bad in ivory or cream)
5. A dress that is more sexy than girly. 6. $500 or less
Most of the dresses I find that don''t have a lot of detailing but still meet my other requirements seem to be made for those lucky ladies who are 5''8" and much less curvy. Also, I''d be thrilled if this dress could be worn again on my honeymoon for a fancy dinner without looking overly bridal. Any suggestions hugely appreciated!
