Getaway/Brunch/Shower Dress
Hi girls- one of my BMs and another friend were shopping the other weekend and found this dress for me:

It happens to have just gone on sale and now I'm waiting for my order! I've been looking for a white dress to change into for our after party, but I thought this would be great too for anyone looking for a getaway, brunch, shower, or some other kind of bridal-wear dress. I haven't even seen it yet, but I'm very excited. My friends have excellent taste and tell me how gorgeous it is in person... they called me from the store.
Just in case any of you were looking for something! Actually, BR has a few cute dresses on sale right now that would be good for showers or things of that nature, coming up. (I have my first one on Sunday, by the way! Yea!)

Cara- That is such a cute dress and definately wearable to any wedding related event (or dancing right after dinner too!).
Hi Cara.
Very cute dress! I've been looking for a white dress too and they are hard to come by this time of year. I ended up buying a bright Lily Pulitzer dress for my shower, which is also this Sunday ;-)
Thanks, Jen. I have to admit that I've been bad and have been checking my registries on-line. A lot of stuff was bought over the tax free weekend. :-)
Are you supposed to change before leaving the reception? I want to keep my dress on as long as possible! ;-)
Cute dress Cara,
My plan for my rehersal dinner dress is I wnat my fashion student friend to make a copy of a designer dress I saw in a magazine. I'll pay a fraction of the cost and she'll have her first real commission. We'll see how it goes.
Sarah- I love that! Can I be friends with your fashion student friend too? :)
Tammy- I don't think changing at the end of the reception is required, just a choice. Some people put on their "going away" outfit. Our reception ends at 10:30 and then we plan to go down to the bar at the castle with a bunch of the other guests. I decided that since I'd have been wearing my dress for most of the day (probably since about 1- taking pictures before the reception), I wanted to change into something cute and lighter, but still bridalish, for the after party. Since we're staying at the same place (and already have the best room in the place reserved for both nights), it will be easy for me to go change. If I were going to my hotel for the first time after the wedding, I'd keep my dress on in hopes of some freebies or an upgrade ;)
When things start coming together with the dress, I'll show you guys. I brought the idea of her making me a dress up to my friend after I watched an episode of Project Runway. Some of the contestants just graduated fashion school, so hopefully it will look good. She said that she will ask her instructor for help if she starts having trouble with it.
