The Dress

I always knew that I would not be wearing white on my wedding. I really don't like white and it is not my most flattering colour as it just blends into my skin and makes me look washed out... and really huge. And wearing some other variation of white (ivory, pale gold, or pastel) was just not going to cut it either.

So, I have now found my dress and it is red! This is the dress I will be wearing to the wedding ceremony. I saw it on the Maggie Sottero website and found a wedding store in the US who had an online store to buy the dress from Maggie Sottero. Fortunately I had paid for the dress in full before the "financial crisis" occured and the Aussie dollar went way south.

The dress is very flattering and definitely suits me better than a white dress. I love how it is a corset back to the dress as this helps "pull" my stomach into place and actually makes me look like I have a flat stomach. I also really like the gold lacing on the bottom of the dress, as it adds a glamour to the dress. I definitely felt wonderful when I tried on the dress. I suppose our wedding theme will be based around the dress, even though I wanted red and gold to feature in the wedding anyway.
