I need help.. finding a dress... for RL.
Family member is getting married.
What I want is a non-prom dress, simple, long, and like an easter dress in print, color and conservative-ness. I would prefer to say away from bold, or over busy, and I'm looking for bright spring colors. You know, like sky blue, and a lime green just dull enough to match sky blue perfectly? Those types of shades. For a pattern butterflies or flowers, or a combo of the two. Basically a girls' dress but for a big kid. sweatdrop I'm lame. Basically a dress that you'd be in no way ashamed to show off to family... xp shoulder straps or mini sleeves, are preferred but not required. Better stay away from strapless. No decorations like ruffles are needed on the top half of the dress... no way-too-high-waistband-things and likewise, like a little girl dress. sweatdrop Seriously, I'm wearing a dress, so more likely than not I'm a girl, why bother to make it obvious further than that? (I'm picky because me no likey dress-up time.)
Now, that may seem strict so here are a few trades. Spaghetti straps are alright if I can find a shawl thingy, or if the rest is conservative enough. Yes, I know it's a bit late for easter dresses, and since this is more than just for the wedding it can't be black (white dog=horrid mess), and I know that Easter has passed, so I'll try to be reasonable here. Slips, telling me to just find a slip, the dresses that have a slip attached, and the bottom being layers, or made to look layered... all those are fine. This means that if the dress isn't long enough, post it anyway, because there are ways to fix that. 3nodding
See? I can be reasonable, or at least pretend to.
I'm not too worried about shoes or accessories, but those are fine to post up. If you think a dress will need or should have a slip or something you don't have to find the slip or whatever, I really just need a base dress at the moment. I would prefer a dress, but I know I must sound crazy, so a top and skirt are fine too.
Now who are the brave among you?
I have been to all the mini-middle-of-nowhere cities around, well, all but one, and checked WAY too many stores, finding a lot of the same... >.> Pale/dull blues/greens/purples/pinks that are used in the perfect dress, with those old lady flowers... (Mom patterns) stressed
Please take no offense to my reasonings, I'm picky, very, yet somehow flexible. o.O Anyway, I've seen too many dresses, walked though too many stores, and yet surprisingly merely reaffirmed my dislike for shopping, without any particular strengthening that dislike.

also, what does your complexion look like [skin tone, hair color, eye color]? how short are you willing to go? what are the colors of the wedding? How formal will the wedding be?
this may seem invasive but also what is your body type, size, height, and, if comfortable stating it, weight? Are you muscular? Do you have a particularly petite figure [short and, usually dainty]? Are you very curvy or not? What style would you like [casual, dressy, tomboyish, hippie-like, etc.]?
that information should help to find a better suited dress for you
and a note: I suggest you stay away from black and white at all times for weddings, especially white, it is taboo. Find out wedding colors and avoid those as well. It's also taboo.

teh sexiful nerdy also, what does your complexion look like [skin tone, hair color, eye color]? how short are you willing to go? what are the colors of the wedding? How formal will the wedding be? I'm told to be pale, I don't like going outside much. My hair is brunette, but the bottom 3-7 inches or so are light brown due to highlights I got over a year ago I think... sweatdrop My eyes are blue/grey. I'm looking for at least past the knees. I think they are planning it as a party, and the invite said that the reception will have a night club feel or something... Knowing my uncle, the theme with change itself.

(No, not bragging, it's no muscle, and been a long time since I've weighed myself.) Muscular? Nope, opposite. Not very curvy, and I just want a dress my mom and I can agree on. teh sexiful nerdy and a note: I suggest you stay away from black and white at all times for weddings, especially white, it is taboo. Find out wedding colors and avoid those as well. It's also taboo. I'm trying to say away from black, because it's not a wedding color, or shouldn't be, especially for a spring (ish) wedding.
I'll ask about the colors.
