I mentioned this lovely satin gown that I accidentally found at Indiska for €27 a few weeks ago. [livejournal.com profile] isilya and [livejournal.com profile] perhael both told me that it would be throwing money away not to buy it at prices like that, and I usually do what they say. And then a couple of people asked me for pictures.

LOL



I feel pretty, and a bit crunchy and earth-mothery.
This happens whenever I try not to look like a moron in pictures. Stupid faces are like automatic, and then I crack up because I know I look like an idiot.

The gown from further away.
From further away, but not quite full-length. The dress almost touches the floor.

Thank you! Now I *have* to find a wedding to attend. It's so sad to have a dress in your closet that you never wear.

Pfft. Not just a wedding. Go out to dinner somewhere. Make an opportunity to wear it. :)

Hahhaha. We'd have to pick a different restaurant than the Thai take-out joint and the French provincial café we usually pick, I guess...

I have a pair of white wings that my sister gave me. Occasionally I wear them around the house. It can be done! :)

Hahah, yeah, I have a pink princess tutu that I wear around the house. I did wear it out once but... yeah, then I didn't repeat that experiment. XD

You look so lovely! Really beautiful dress.

I would wear it to the park, with big sunglasses, and sit on a picnic blanket and eat summer fruits or pastries. This fantasy obviously requires some sunshine though, so I wouldn't be doing it in Britain any time soon...

Somewhat tactless question, but is there a full-size picture out there on the internets somewhere that was used for your icon?

Hee! I do not know. The [livejournal.com profile] hnix made this for me, so she may have a better idea... :)

Yes, I love bold graphic prints! The print definitely makes it.

You look gorgeous! Your hairstyle is perfect for that dress.

A hemline like that makes a girl - or a boy - want to twirl around. So pretty! :)

If you want to wear it more often, you could hem it to knee length. Then hem the leftover into a rectangular shawl or something. :>

It wouldn't be nearly as elegant that way. I might make it tea-length though, and then it would still be appropriate for dressy occasions.
