Weddingbee boards

I am bored and feeling weddingy, so I thought I'd post some of the dresses I tried on that didn't make the cut the first time around. I think all of them are beautiful and would look great on a bride (who is not me). Anyway, on to the pictures, which we all know is the real reason we all read dress posts hehe.

1. Maggie Sottero Milana

Holy poor quality picture, Batman! It is actually really beaded and has lace appliques. This is the dress I bought and have since rejected. I was so nervous when I bought it; it was like I knew I was making a mistake. People cried, it IS a gorgeous dress, etc., but it just isn't "me."

I sort of want straps. The is all pretty and gathered... and emphasizes my complete lack of hips or a bust. To be fair, it is too big and not cinched in the waist where it should, but it still isn't that flattering. And I am allergic to asymmetry (Not only do I not particularly enjoy it for myself, but I also have to google EVERY time I type it. You'd think I'd just remember how to spell it by now!). Next!

3. Maggie Sottero Monroe

I look tall! (It's an illusion created by the platform!) I look skinny! (It's an illusion created by the corset and the ruching!) I like it, but it is not the look I am going for. Onward.

4. Maggie Sottero Ruby

This dress is so pretty. The lace is delicate (and swiss dot, but you can't see in this picture) and the color is warm. Look at that hem! I love this one, but it was $500 more than I wanted to spend. Sigh.

5. Maggie Sottero

I don't remember the name of this one, and I am too lazy to look it up right now. Sorry, bees. This dress created my love of organza. Look how pretty the layers at the bottom and the bust are! My sister didn't like this one because she said it looks like I am wearing a dress over another dress where the lace ends, and I can see her point. The search continues.

And yes, that is Ellie's wedding picture from the movie Up pasted over the terrible face I was making. She was a beaming bride! I had no makeup on. Do you blame me? I also tried on and loved quite a few Casablancas, but that was a different shop that would not allow pictures, sadly.

Any fun rejected dresses you'd like to share?

meliss -- Oh, yes, this is a carefully edited list of rejects, of course. Some were too horrifying (and embarassing) to post!

Sulli -- I wish I had such direction. Even now when I consider what I want, I have such an array of things I like. Your first fitting is coming up soon, too! Exciting.

moneypenny -- the first one is fun! Is the second one Maggie Sottero Korena? It looks really similar to that dress, which I tried on, but refer to my comment about editing out the horrifyingly unflattering! The third one is pretty but hides your great figure. And completely agree on the last one; it has the great elements of your dress but the extra boob ruffle doesn't really do much for it!

Here are some of my rejects!

haha. i didn't realize i was making such awful facial expressions in these pics LOL

flamingred -- That first one (the short dress) is amazing!

Lorienne and Magenta -- Thanks!

OttowaBride -- Your face in the last one is priceless! I love the straps on that dress, though.

Miss Stephanie -- Those all look great on you! The one you got is lovely, though.

Here's one more! I almost bought this one. The facial expressions continue...

OttowaBride -- I LOLed. You just look so like "omg do I haaaaaaaaaave to take a picture in this? Well, fine, but you can't make me smile!"  Still not a bad dress, though!

Thanks msmonicka! It was a really high contender until I realized that it just does not say "getting married in a field" AT ALL!

rnc -- Me, too! But I couldn't justify the $$$

One more for laughs. This was definitely the worst dress I tried on. I think once I got out there, I turned right back around and took it off haha. I refer to it fondly as "the plank dress."

Maggie Sottero Krystalynn

Waist? What waist? Where have what little hips I have gone?

Miss Bella -- your face say it all!

tenchyz --I see this is your first post; welcome to WB! The ruffles on the last one look really fun and light. Have you made a decision on another dress? What ended up being the winner?

crebre -- I like the second one, but none of them compare to your Sophia!

zippy -- Oooh lots of pretty! I also tried on Casablanca 1971. I don't remember why it got the cut. Price possibly. It's such a pretty dress! I also love the sleeves on the one that you think is La Sposa. The very first dress in your second post is amazing; you totally rock it, too. What dress did you end up going with? It seems like quite a few of us have bought something really different from a lot of the styles we tried on.

I am also really happy to see how many people are enjoying this post!

Awww yay for ellie =D  I love UP!
