Afternoon Outing

Elizabeth was going over to the bridal shop today to try on the dress she's been thinking about and invited Katherine and me along. The owners of the shop were with another client when we arrived so we hung out for awhile in the bridesmaid's section. There were some pretty dresses and some really questionable ones. Katherine found one that was the same design she'll be wearing in a wedding this summer but in a different color combination.

Finally, Elizabeth was able to try on her dress. It was so pretty! It's ivory and made of a rather stiff fabric that is pulled across the front to one side so it hugs her shape. It's really flattering. It has a plunging neckline with thick straps in the front that taper to tiny ones in the back so her back is almost bare. The skirt is full (with crinoline) and has a couple gathers on the side to give a sense of movement so it doesn't just hang straight. I can't wait to see her in her actual dress in her actual size. I'm sure it will be amazing.
