Oi, Dress Hunting.
Filed under: Random, Rants at 5:26 pm
So, those of you that were visitors of my other domain probably know about my mothers upcoming wedding. Which is awesome. The only problem 
now, is finding a dress for me to match hers. She’s giving me a bit of freedom to choose the dress I want to wear, except she’s making it extremely difficult. This is the dress that she picked out. She’s planning on getting it hemmed to knee length. (She doesn’t want a “formal” wedding. “I’ve already had two formal weddings, I want this one to be casual.” For those of you who don’t know, my mom has been divorced once and widowed. This is her third wedding. Obviously.) So, with her having a knee length dress, I need a knee length dress. I don’t think I look good in knee length dresses. I have pretty muscular calves. They tend to look pretty beastly in my opinion. As in, to the point where I don’t wear shorts or skirts of any kind. Yeah, I live in pants year round. I don’t even wear capris.
Anyway, so I went looking for a few dress styles online. And EVERY SINGLE ONE I’ve found isn’t good enough. 
“I don’t like that bodice” or “That neckline is too low.” I keep getting responses like that from her. I tried telling her, “Mom, I’ve got big boobs, high necklines, they look weird on me.” Because they do. I was looking for a type of halter top kind of dress. I think I found a really pretty one. It’s not going to be black, but I like the style. She thinks the neckline is too low. That’s the dress that I’m talking about. Neckline too low? I don’t think so. This is just becoming overly stressful. Her and I keep getting into it about it. Not like full blown fighting, but definite arguments about them. She keeps wanting to put me into dresses that look, well to be bluntly honest, OLD. I don’t want to look like an old woman dammit. I want to look my god damn age and I want to look fucking good. I don’t get to dress up ever and I want to look good, not old. I never thought that our different tastes were going to go this far. It’s driving me absolutely crazy. If anyone knows of any good dress sites, let me know. Her and I have to pick a style out so that I can have a dress made.
