Almost time to be a Bridesmaid

Back in January I wrote about 

how I felt a bit odd as I was asked to be a bridesmaid.

First, well I have never been one and second I thought it was for

singles and younger gals - However, it isn't so :)

So... my dress is here and I was called in for a fitting.

This is the dress on the model and below is the dress on me.

The dress is about two sizes larger than I would normally wear.

 The seamstress will be working on it during the week as the 

wedding is mid April.

However here is a peek of the dress...

Isn't it pretty ?

Another thing about being a bridesmaid is that in a certain

way you loose individuality as you are all wearing same 

colored gowns in similar styles.

I am guessing most of the maids will go for silver or 

gold toned shoes and accessories to complement the dress. 

I still have not decided on the accessories but

while in the store I fell in love with a pair of shoes :

Satiny red and the rose is the exact same color of my dress.

It was their last pair...

Aren't the fabulous ?
