I know that everyone is eager to hear how the fashion consult came out. I ended up wearing the pink dress, because as Angella and my mom pointed out, it was my big chance. Thank you all for the ego boost of compliments about rocking the flapper dress. I do appreciate those comments, believe you me! But I did figure that I could sort of wear that dress any time, whereas the pink dress, while lovely, is not something that I will whip out for the next big event. I made it work by altering a better undergarment that would leave me feeling more comfortable (although I did need to hold in my stomach, damn it, and I still needed to leave the wedding to disrobe completely and nurse Inez. Such is life.) I got a lot of comments about my dress and the old ladies at the wedding all agreed that it is most likely actually from the 1920s. Awesome.
Oh yes, and I did cut off much of my hair. Not just for this event. That was a happy coincidence.
Here is how cute we were:
kids on the hotel bed before the wedding
My gloves are glowing... something is wrong with our flash here
Oh this sweet girl in her dress that Grandma Sue made
The ribbon actually stayed in, but the kid broke my pearls and I had to pull my earrings off midway through dinner.
It was hard to get everyone looking one way, especially while the band was playing
Some looks are just too devine. There's my Nez-nez in a dress made for Francis (also by Grandma Sue)
Wedding was great and we loved staying out at Edgefield. Super, super fun!

He couldn’t go. He was off talking to smart high schoolers in New York. Waa!
