So sorry - no picture :(
So, I was one of THOSE bridesmaids
You know the ones -- cursed with being forced to not only pay someone to sew but being forced to WEAR some hideous creation dreamed up by a bride who HAS to hate you.
We were friends with the groom
When they started dating, we became friends with the bride, too
Then, she asked me to be in her wedding.
"um, ok, um, I guess, um, sure"
Along came the pattern -- yikes!
A long, shapeless, hideous, concoction in gray-purple, sort of like watered-down grape gatorade
And I had to find someone to sew this for me
I paid over $100 for satin, lace, thread, zipper & another $100 to have someone sew it.
I looked like a pale, lacy Barney walking down the aisle
I still hear the song, "Here comes the purple monstrosity, here comes the purple monstrosity... dah, dah, dee, dah, dah, dee, dah, dah, dee, dumb"
I think I've destroyed every picture of that day & it went in the next yardsale I could find!
But I still have nightmares of walking into work wearing that nasty, dowdy, blobby dress; I still wake up in the middle of the night, scared that I walked into a church, or meeting, or party wearing the Barney Dress.
And, people who haven't known me very long wonder why I won't wear purple ;)
Were you one of THOSE bridesmaids?
Tell us all about it.
