Outfit from 5.28.2011

Dress: Lane Bryant sz. 22/24 (borrowed)
Belt: Lane Bryant, don’t know size (also borrowed)
Sandals: Avenue sz. 11
Fat Necklace: Definatalie

Wore this to my cousin’s wedding last spring.  I didn’t have anything new and exciting to wear, so I borrowed things from my sister.  Luckily we’re similar sizes, though she is a bit shorter than I am.  She’d actually hemmed this dress due to her height, so on me it was more like a minidress!  With the belt, I totally had a Joan Holloway caboose on me.

The bow is there because I made the decorations for my cousin’s car for after the ceremony.  Ribbons and bows EVERYWHERE.

Did this last month and kind of forgot about it, so I didn’t post it anywhere until now. ^_^;;  Years ago, I designed the program for my sister’s wedding, as well as the cover art.  Awhile back, one of my sister’s friends contacted me to commission art for her own wedding program, and here we are.

My bridesmaid’s dress from my sister’s wedding.

Dress: David’s Bridal sz. 18 (I think; this is when I was a slightly smaller fat)
Jewelry: don’t remember… maybe Claire’s?
Shoes: Invisible, but I’m wearing the white ballet flats from this OOTD.

Damn, I loved the hell out of that dress.  I replicated it as best I could with the greens I had, but the wedding colors were sage and silver, so my dress was a more muted, cool green called “celadon."  Here’s a color-adjusted version that’s a bit closer:

I didn’t want to overwork the coloring too much, otherwise I might’ve attempted to replicate these colors on the actual paper.  The brighter version really does convey the beauty of the dress effectively, as well as makes me look like the Frog Princess!
