They were thrilled, and I think it is an idea that has aged well. That being said, I don't like to see black bridesmaids gowns in Spring and Summer weddings - I think that's when the Easter Egg colors can actually work, depending.<br /><br />Best dress from the past - this silver Marilyn Monroe-ish dress that cost about $20 at some lame dept store, which I wore to a frat formal in '98 where I met my future husband. Spilled a drink on it and ruined it though because the fabric was cheap. Oh well. Oh, and of course my wedding dress - a cream Monique Lhullier before she really hit the big time. It was a real departure from the strapless with poufy skirt dresses that were all the rage in the early 00's - so at the time my lacy form-fitting dress looked unusual, maybe even a bit vintage.<br /><br />I luckily don't have a worst dress, believe it or not. Could be because I've never been asked to be a bridesmaid (which is kind of sad)... but I've been asked to do readings at weddings so I guess I am not a total friendless loser. ;)hushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05532820460835325762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300353692499178101.post-35647376379295673312010-06-25T11:54:08.387-05:002010-06-25T11:54:08.387-05:00i love one of my girlfriends...but my favorite jus...i love one of my girlfriends...but my favorite justification for her choice in dress was...you can wear it to a garden party! i'm going to be 30 in sept and i've yet to go to a garden party...phoebenoreply@blogger.com
