Found a suit for Fiance yesterday.. she’s wearing a pinstriped suit and a black velvet full-back waistcoat and a shirt with French cuffs and the little stand up tux collar (forgot what it is called).  Stunning.   No, she’s not a conventioinal bride in our 2 bride wedding.    She wanted pinstripes all along, and as my dress will have a 30s feel i works very well. The suit is women’s, the waistcoat men’s but not like you can tell. And not like she’d care if you could.

It is sooooooo sexy and gorgeous on her.  Best part?  Suit and vest and shirt, all thrift store finds, $25 total.  Suit is fabulous and fully lined and while certainly dressy enough, also will work for other purposes later on.  Pants need a little alteration and that’s it.  Jut have to find cufflinks and an ascot that isn’t “puffy”.

So at least that’s taken care of!   And way way way under what we’d budgeted for her attire!

She did ask why it is that I can see her in her wedding outfit, almost complete, but not vice versa?  Lol.

@mandb122:  I just couldn’t imagine any other kind of thing going on but I have always felt like I was born in the wrong time period! 🙂

Both of us, really.  Love all things old..  well except for computers. LOL.  We even live in a vintage house (1915).    

Latest score;  picked up a tie today that might very well work.  Black with a bit of blue, same blue I want as an accent color on my dress! 🙂 Oh and I found jewelry too, silver and rhinestone and pearl necklace and earrings, very tiny and delicate.. $4 for the set! Love thrift stores!
