Zombie bride??

[greyloch]

That's a brilliant use of the big-white-poofy-dress. First there was "Bride-ZILLA" now she's "Zombie Bride." But she's only allowed to eat the brains of caterers and wedding planners before moving up the food chain.

One of our bridesmaids turned her dress into a seaweed dress thing from the Titantic. Then again, she showed up to the service wearing combat boots (was raining & didn't want the dye to run off of the shoes).

mmmm seaweed

[sableagle]

Seaweed dress? Is it me, or does that say "Eat me; I'm sushi" to anyone else?

No, not really - her costume was definitely on the "icky" side of thing as a drowned Titanic passenger.

BTW, HOLY SHIT!!!!! Jennie used one of the shots of me from last year's kilts/leafblower battle.

Jennie, honey? Sweetie-pie? May I please "borrow" this photo to put up on Flickr and Livejournal? Preeteeyy pleeeeaaasseeee....??

Hot damn! One more step towards my goal of Internet Infamy ('cause fame is just so fleeting - infamy is forever!).

Ask in the shop. In Edinburgh.

I decided awhile ago to be a zombie for halloween because there are just so many different things you can do with that costume. Just walking around campus in it will be fun... I'm going to attempt other people to go zombie with me and go to the mall, or play Thriller music on the quad. Something fun.

Using the wedding dress is an awesome terrible idea, for both the drowned Titanic victim and the zombie bride.... that beautiful expensive dress.... but its not like it would ever have been used again anyway. Except to entice a daughter or niece into it maybe, and generally nobody likes to wear someone else's dress

Actually... *raises hand*

I'm attempting to bring down my weight for several reasons, one of which is to try and fit into my grandmother's wedding dress when the time comes. She supposedly had a 19" waist, which I have no chance of ever hitting, but the bodice allows for up to 24-25", so I'm aiming for another 3+ inches lost in the next couple of years.

I'm sure we can have it altered if necessary, but I'd rather not do that. There's some intricate beading on the bodice, and I'd like to leave it the way it is.

Do not forget the magic of corsetry.

[KiaKat]

Oh, I would use a corset, if the bodice wasn't boned. That was one of the first things I checked...I guess I could still use a corset, but I'm not sure how well that would work.

Mmmm...corsets.... I need to go corset-hunting. There's a store in the Lower East Side that specializes in corsets, and I really should be fitted again. It's been years since I've been properly fitted, and I first gained a bunch of weight, then lost most of it, so I'm working with a totally different body shape now.

[Leffy]

you've got years yet right? try waist-training with a corset. still get to diet and exercise IN A HEALTHY MANNER *does the motherly glare* but you also get a back up reaching the waist size you prefer. just try to be honest and healthy with that one too. doesn't look pretty if you overshoot for much tinier then natural.

[KiaKat]

I think I've probably got another couple years. Nothing is really set, as of now.

When I was a teenager (through early 20's), I had a 17" waist. I'm at about 27/28" now, and yeah, I'm thinking 24/25" is probably good to shoot for. I tend towards an hourglass shape anyway, and that fits with losing another 10lbs or so. Once I get a few things fixed with my feet, I can start running again, and that will help a lot.

I'd like to start wearing a corset again anyway. I was more comfortable with how I felt, when it was a nearly daily part of my wardrobe.

Uhm, thanks.

Kilts - just watch out for someone trying to measure the Doc's inseam as there are no inseams in kilts. Yes, stuff like this can happen.

17" waist???!!! Damn, what are you? Part pixie or something? I'd be afraid to hug you as you might snap in half. FYI: I usually give the ladies bear hugs and lift them off the ground and pop some vertebrae back into place while I'm at it.

Ah, but the antique or grandmother's dress is different, especially if its really that intricate. Even I would consider a Grandparent's dress to continue heritage and such.... but my mother's or sibling's dresses? Nope, not happening.

Try having a small frame to begin with (plus that tendency towards an hourglass figure) and add in anorexia. Hell, I'm probably lucky that it was 17", rather than 15" or something. (current measurements as of...oh, 5 minutes ago: 34B/27.5/35, 62.75"tall)

And no, I'm not pixie....I'm demonkitty.

I'm also a lot tougher than I look. Always have been. So bring on the bearhugs!
