To answer earlier questions yes- it's a black tie wedding and I already know the bride is wearing a very pricey, traditional, strapless white dress. It won't look like hers but I don't want to look like I'm trying to play bride for the day either. It's a bummer though because knock off or not (and no I don't have Jenny Packham's last bridal collection memorized), it's a damn beautiful dress. And such a good price.

I wouldn't have cared but you would have looked more like the bride than me at my own wedding because my dress had less bling than this and was the same color.<br /><br />Any, as JB pointed out, do you really want to wear such an obvious knock-off?Hillary Schusterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03874750431495369292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-59769630257723773982012-10-20T04:55:24.335-07:002012-10-20T04:55:24.335-07:00That is waaaaaaaaaay too bridal!
