porcelainbride's Green wedding

umm... where did my post go?! I know I saved it!!

.... i must be losing my mind!

dammit. oh well.

simple recap- I hate dress shopping because I can't find anything I like. I want something simple. Simple seems to always only come in sheath styles which for me- a size 14, with curves in all the right places- just doesn't look right. I DO NOT want a ball gown or anything that warrants a huge, heavy, crinoline under it. I'm sick of trying on dresses and getting lost in mass quantities of tulle while trying to figure out how to put it on! I don't want a train either- i hate the look of bustles and it'll just get in the way otherwise. I don't like excessive amounts of rhinestones, embroidery, pearls or crystals- looks great on other people but that's just not very me. I'm okay with lace in moderation, so long as it isn't that tacky 1980's looking lace. Am I asking for the impossible here? Perhaps I'll scrap the idea of getting a normal dress completely and just buy a white cocktail dress or bridesmaid dress instead. I'm sure I'd be much more comfortable in it! Then I'm also having the issue of not being able to figure out whether i should go with a short dress or a long one. I want a semi-formal event but I'm not sure if a short dress would look too casual. Also, would I even feel like a bride in a short dress?
