new best idea ever

In case you were wondering, this dress is the new best idea ever. I hate how beachy dresses are slinky, because while I might be thin, I'm certain squishy, and even if I could convince myself in a store that clingy dress looks beautiful, the photos will tell the truth. This solves all my problems, and I am so totally 100% buying 6 yards of muslin to test with like, this weekend.



These clever ladies designed a dress out of two strips of silk that tie onto the bride, instantly rendering her amazingly glamourous. I saw this almost two years ago and have stored it in my mental notes long before I ever thought I'd be getting married. And no, I have no problem copying someone's idea when it's this awesome--MOH and I will have to play around with some muslin to try out different styles, so it's possible my dress will look entirely different. What's more, it passed the bridesmaids' tacky-o-meter too!



*love* Any thoughts on the dress? C'mon, you can be honest. I'll probably be working some extra fabric into the sides, I'm not a very leggy gal. The best part is that for a destination wedding, this dress will pack as small as possible, making it hassle-free.
