Formal Dress Question

Absolutely! I wore a dress on my DCL cruise last September that I wore as the MOH in my Best Friends Wedding (Green satin from David's Bridal!) The Bride and her husband were on our cruise and she was so happy that she chose something that I actually COULD wear again. She also wore the dress that she wore in my wedding on the ship too!

I have a very elegant gown that I wore in my brother's wedding three years ago... Black and Gold... hmmm... sure am glad I signed up for that exercise class before my Feb. 1st cruise!!!

EileenAmI,

Glad you can get some reuse out of your Bridesmaid dress, I have one that you need to wear a half hoop skirt under and is a color that absolutly does not go with my skin tone. (Hope the Bride that made me wear this dress doesn't read these boards!) Why I am still storing this dress is beyond me!

I see you are from Havertown. I lived there until I was almost 15. Seeing the address on your profile bought back many good memories. I unfortunately haven't been back in a very, very, very long time. I use to live on Colfax Road. Ever heard of it? I have the fondest memories of playing at a large playgound located behind my house, that had a few ball fields and tennis courts.

NJ Family,

I know I've seen the street sign, but can't remember quite where. We are right by the Llannerch Golf course. That hoop skirt thing soucds terrible! My sister-in-law made us where "sage" gowns for her wedding, and since I'm so fair, it completely washed out everything!! Needless to say, that dress went directly to the thrift shop the day after the wedding
