Dress Happiness and Exhaustion
Yesterday was an exhausting day.
We were jam packed in the afternoon with appointments. There was not one free moment from 2 PM until I left. I was spinning so hard that I was beyond tired. And I still needed to meet Catwoman at David's Bridal to help her find the right bridal gown and bridesmaids gowns.
Finding a bridesmaid gown is definitely not the easiest thing to do. Especially with a blonde, a brunette and a redhead in the bridal party. Sounds like a bad joke but it is the truth. What may look good on one will most likely look hideous on another. And since Catwoman has little pageant experience (that will change when she is a Mrs.) it is harder to see that.
After looking at racks of dresses we found one that will compliment each persons coloring and figure. And since I am the only bridesmaid here to help I got to have the fun of helping to pick it out.
Catwoman's gown that she will most likely be getting is breathtaking on her. She is still in debate with her mom on it. But that is typical for a bride to go through. The only thing she needs are boob pads that are ever so famous in my pageant world.
Does any of my pageant pals have any they can share?
The bridesmaids gowns are a latte color. Very light coffee colored brown. They go around the neck, dip down in the front to show cleavage (since I have enough we might as well accent that. LOL!!) and are very simple in the front. The back has the poof that her gown has all around it. Luckily none of us bridemaids has a big butt so it will be flattering.
Now to convince her that clear acrylic shoes are the best choice for all and we will be set.

Bridesmaid shoes for my wedding were a similar struggle. No more than 2 1/2" heel, no less than 1 1/2", had to have a backstrap, had to come in wide width and up to a size 11.
We actually scored really cute ones at payless for like $14 and didn't have to go the acrylic route.
Good luck!
