Thanks much for all the Save the Date comments/advice. I'm definitely leaning closer and closer to Loverboy's stance on this ... even though I really really like designing AND paper products. Hrumph. (stamping foot and pouting)

Anyway, today's topic. Dresses. Broad topic, I know.
Here are some things I need to keep in mind about a dress:
1. I have two tattoos on my back. They're on the top, near each shoulder, and I want them to show. This usually requires a strapless or halter dress.
2. I have a large chest. Very large. It's not proportional to my body. A dress will probably have to be custom-made in reality. This also means a halter dress may not be the best idea ... unless I go with a specific type of halter (more on that type/style later when I remember what it's called - basically the halter straps are just there for looks ... but the dress goes straight across).
3. I'm tall. Not overly tall, 5'9" ... but I hesitate for a long dress because it will probably not be quite long enough unless, well, custom made ... and also because
4. I have nice legs. They're bruised and scarred in places but they're nicely shaped. Something I'm not ashamed of. At all.
5.But I kind of want a fairy tale dress ... that's pretty ... and long ... and makes me look fabulous.

So I've decided I want to dresses. A long one for the ceremony and a short one for the reception. I may end up just having the short one. But we'll see. We will definitely see. Anyway, I just found
Stephanie James Couture last week. And I love the dresses there.

Here are some of my favorites ... and they fit exactly what I want.
