Online Wedding Dress

04 August 2013, Sunday Morning

It came. I knew it the moment I saw the DHL package. I was filled with mixed feelings - excitement and a little apprehension. I was about to reap the fruit of my craziness. Just what was I thinking when I ordered it online?! USD$183 poorer, filled with bubbling excitement and a teeny bit of self-loathing at my spendthrift ways, I tore it open with gusto, savouring that maddeningly exhilarating moment.

VOILA~! A beaded lace bodice. Lace. More lace. And then the whole dress was free from the package! It did look like what I ordered! Phew! Slipping off my work uniform and slipping into that dreamy dress took less than a minute. I did not look my best after 14 hours of oxidised makeup and work but it was good enough for the moment. With macaroons in my fridge and my wedding dress here, nothing could ruin my white happiness.

It has nothing to do with the wedding dress, but I just wanna show the beautiful colours of the macaroons :D
Look how pretty! It adds life to the whole entry! It inspires me to have lots of colourful balloons at the wedding. It will add colour and life to the photos.

As expected, it did not fit me too well because the vendor made it according to the standard US size 6. It was good enough though. I was contemplating between size 4 and 6 when I bought it. No doubt, size 4 will fit snugly but I did not want it to be so tight that it accentuates the unnecessary curves, or that it causes me to wheeze for need of air. At least with size 6, there would be extra fabric to work with, when I need to alter it to my figure nearing my wedding day.

I love the lace train! Isn't it beautiful?! USD$183 for a wedding dress is a very good buy! So yes, this is one crazy thing I did but I am glad that I did it. I just told myself that the worst thing that could happen is that I get something crappy for USD$183. So I guess all turned out well!
