I am being an AW again.

[captainmel]

I told my family we are engaged and they are super happy. My mom is going full planning mode but since we already set a date I think she's going to stay reasonable. My little brother's response was hilarious because for about 10 minutes he was convinced I was joking.

I'm going to share pics of me in wedding dresses now. I tried on a few others but they weren't deemed picture worthy.

This was my mom's top choice. It was super pretty but it didn't quite feel like MY super pretty dress.


This one was super flowey but It was a little too simple


I LOVED the bottom of this one but the top felt like a different dress.



Last the best. I ADORE this dress. My mother thinks it is one centimeter away from a wardrobe malfunction. Seriously though, I really love this dress. It is $1500 and it is so simple to make. I'm going to copy it and make it tea length for my reception dress. I think I'll make it slightly less clevage-ey to appease my Mother Goose.

Does it have pockets!?!

I still can't get over how adorable you are. All the dresses look beautiful on you.

YES! Actually the first dress had pockets too. Thank you! It was really fun to be the bride and not the employee!

[partiallysunny]

I <3 pocket dresses.

I bet it was fun to turn the tables, so to speak.

I can't see the pictures  

[doglove]

When is your wedding date?

[dixienormous]

You're so stinking cute! and I would kill for your figure!

[neonpink]

I love all the dresses but the one with sleeves it feels to matronly on top. I think the last one is really awesome. You look great too.

Rock on! Those are beautiful and you wear them all well!

[cuddlyevil]

I like the bottom of the dress with the lace, but it needs a different bodice.

You're adorable!

[captainmel]

cuddlyevil, that's exactly what I thought too! I thought it was so heavy looking.

doglove, May 21, 2016!

Thank you everyone! I am feeling all flattered by all you ladies!

[gault]

You are gorgeous and I want your bod.
I actually love the dress with the sleeves. You could pull it off. But I get what people are saying re: it looking formal or matronly

gault, I like it too. But (please don't be upset at me captainmel!) it needs someone with a bit more in the bust and maybe some slightly broader shoulders--it looks like it needs a taller, bustier person.

[spindle92]

captainmel you are gorgeous and have great taste.

Have you seen the movie 28 dresses? The last dress reminds me of the dress the spoiled sister had made from parts of her mom's wedding dress.

[motzie]

You are so cute in all of them! The top on that last one is very similar to my first wedding dress, except it was a halter. (My mom made it) I used some emergency double stick tape mid reception because apparently if you stood at the right angle you could see my nipple. I gave zero fucks but my MoH insisted, lol.

I can't wait to see what you end up with!

[neonpink]

I also think if you are making a dress I hope you can make them all have pockets. That would have been so awesome. They were just starting to do that when I got married. I love pockets.

[margarita]

Pretty dresses, and they all look fabulous on you!

You are so beautiful, Mel!

[doriswe]

Good lord, you're cute!!

I love the dresses!

[SwimDeep]

The dresses are beautiful - and you are gorgeous!

[bullygirl979]

Mel, I LOVE it!!!

[exploding people]

eeeeeeeee! You look amazing.

[smock]

You look fabulous!

Totally not mad! I think you're totally right! I think if I were to wear that dress I would change the top a lot because it doesn't suit my body well.

I made my best friends wedding dress and we put pockets in it! Her mom was like... "What do you need pockets for...?" We both replied at the exact same time "stuff!!"

[esdreturns]

You are adorable!!

[bowies]

I wanna go dress shopping!

You need a pocket dress. I really like the first one but would like it more if it wasn't so shiny.

They all look amazing on you.

[tiramisu]

You look fucking amazing in all of them! You are so stinking adorable and I'm so excited for you!

[Deleted]

i love them all and you look awesome in them all

l love the sleeve dress it is gorgeous!!! elegant and 20sish

[sparkythelawyer]

You look AMAZING in any of the dresses you posted. Congratulations!

I have to agree with your Mom that the first dress is my favorite. You look so amazingly delicate in that one! And the one with sleeves feels too old for you.

But you will look positively stunning in any of those dresses. Yay!
