Princess Dress

I wouldn't normally pick out a red, strapless gown for myself.  This is mostly because I don't have much cause to wear formal wear.  But I also shy away from anything strapless out of fear that it will simply fall off. And I've been long convinced that red is just not my color, despite some people attempting to convince me otherwise.  I currently have no choice in the matter, though.

My cousin is getting married in a few months and has asked me to be one of her bridesmaids.  It was she who picked out the red, strapless gown for me (and the other bridesmaids) to wear.  I'm incredibly grateful for it.

I picked the dress up yesterday and spent about fifteen minutes dancing around my apartment in it.  It's fun to wear.  I'm super excited to have an excuse to wear this gorgeous dress in public and spend a night dancing with the skirt whirling around me.  I'm even fairly confident that it won't fall off while I'm on the dance floor.

It certainly doesn't hurt that I had to go up a size to accommodate my bosom.  Finding out that my boobs are proportionally larger than the rest of my body definitely resulted in a good body image day (week, month).  It does mean that I have to get the dress taken in around the waist, but that will just result in it fitting even better and looking even prettier.

Naturally, I'm also very excited and happy for my cousin and am looking forward to seeing her and celebrating her marriage.

But this dress!
