quietannAt the clothing swap a few weeks ago, there was this wedding dress. In my book, it's an atrocity of over-beading, sequins, and too many appliques. Not to mention leg-o-mutton sleeves. So I took it to a Halloween party last night, and when I was feeling brave, put it on just for kicks.
The Reactions ranged the gamut from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cgull_ bursting out laughing (he was on the other side of the room, so I couldn't slap him; maneuvering in a wedding dress with a train that is longer than I am just isn't easy!), to the "oooh, pretty" comments from a couple of "anti-traditional" folks who I *thought* didn't go for something so overdone.
Interesting side note: I was talking withdancingdeer a week or so ago, and she said that while dressing up as a bride for Halloween was interesting, she thought that it didn't "feel right" because she's never been married...
Side note #2: It was worn many years ago by someone named Morgan; the marriage didn't last.
