Always the Bridesmaid, Never the Bride
The Bridesmaid, the epitome of honour, class and beauty at every wedding. After the bride walks down that aisle, all eyes turn on these lovely belles in waiting. She’s the supporting actress who steals the limelight coz the bride is worrying about the sequence of the show or what happens after 10 years of marriage. Its funny how they seem so serene and blase in their little satin dresses yet you know theres some wicked stroke inside those lil smiles.
Working on this dress reminded me of a classic Ani Difranco remake of Wishin n Hopin song (if you have ever seen Runaway Bride, its the intro song in the movie). The lyrics has this sarcastic punch to it: ” You gotta show him that you care just for him. Do the things that he likes to do. Wear your hair just for him, ’cause, You won’t get him, thinkin’ and a prayin’, Wishin’ and a hopin’.” O Rly?

Revel in being always the bridesmaid, gals. Available only in black with a prim flexi flouncy skirt, a white satin ribbon, fingerless mesh gloves and a cute pillbox hat with tulle (This fits most prim hair I’ve tried on, but it will need some tweaking on boufant do’s)
