What I Gave My Mum for Mother’s Day »

Never the Bride; Never the Bargain

For this week’s Carnivale of Couture, The Bargain Queen asks, “What is your best-ever bargain?”

I suppose I’m too dreamy about fashion, as I am with romance, to actually have such a great bargain. I’ve had average bargains (and a few horrid-value non-bargains) with some extreme overspending. Oh, there were bargains, but no great, great bargains.

Like I haven’t found that love. Like I am so picky and dream of so much. It’s odd that the greatest bargain I’ve found is one I could not buy: I found this wedding gown, almost my dream dress (I’m sure it could be altered) on sale for just under $500 at David’s Bridal.

It is kind of similar to this gown, but more flowery-beads than lace (perfect). I would add straps and, on the other dress, straighten the neckline. I want this sort of bustline (with squushed up cleavage, oh–oh yes) and I’ve dreamt of spaghetti straps since I first got real bridal-fashion sense. With all the alterations, and whatever I buy needs to be shortened (because young-preteen-girls-who-are-my-size-normally aren’t legally allowed to get married), it would be more expensive, so why not try to start lower?

I see these gowns at $10,000, and I was sure my taste would get me in trouble there. I sort of can’t believe I would go for a bargain wedding dress, but if it is my perfect style, it’s perfect. And with my picky perfectionism, after all, whatever I find, at any price, will need some changing.

Now, I just need my perfect man who thinks I’m perfect … before prices go up and forbid!: before tacky styles come back into fashion!!

Dior Trotter Romantique Shoe

Why didn’t I think of it before? I love the Trotter Romantique range (in handbags) by Dior for brides, so why didn’t I think about the possibility of shoes?
The Trotter Romantique T-Strap Sandal isn’t exactly what I would choose for…

[...] Designer Ella spotted her almost-perfect wedding dress for $500, but left it on the rack ’til she finds the man to go with it, which got The Bargain Queen making little sympathetic noises out loud in the internet cafe until someone told her to shut up… [...]
