BRIDESMAID DRESS

The countdown to the first wedding of the season has begun and the need for a perfect occasion dress is serious. I’ve been wondering between a self-made dress, a tailor-made dress and a commercial dress for two months now.

Even though I would have decided the way to attain the dress, I still have the on going debate with myself about losing some weight before the weddings. I’m confident I will, but I’m not sure is it wise to wait until the last minute with the dress.

Last month I started ordering dresses from online clothing shops to try on. From the usuals, such as Zalando, Nelly.com and Bubbleroom; since they have huge collections of occasion wear and in so many colours!  You’d think that it would be an easy quest to find a one gown. Nope, it’s not.

I need a dress coloured either old rose or dark blush, yet not too warm toned or too lilac. I need a dress either with short sleeves and combined with a shawl or with a just the right amount of coverage (in case it’s a cold summer day) on its own.

Even though finding a dress that is a perfect fit for my body as well as the perfect shade of pink is difficult, I’m more excited about the weddings itself! I know the brides will look absolutely stunning and I’m so grateful to be there by their side on their big day!
