bridesmaids dress...

August 21, 2016 Raina Hampton

so this is a story about my brothers wedding and the bridesmaid dress - my brothers wife is amazing- a nurse who worked with terminally ill children, she is well spoken, beautiful and kind and has great taste- God saved her for my brother b/c Lord knows he needs a woman with all these things and patience and a sense of humor...

so their south louisiana july wedding was approaching and she asked me to be a bridesmaid (she asked in december and i was so honored) and she said we could choose our dresses as long as they were blush and long... so i waited until end of May and chose one off of ebay -i paid $50 for it...now the saying "its too good to be true" is actually true.  The pic above is the dress i paid for and i even gave the lady (who happened to be asian) my measurements b/c i didn't fit any of the said sizes they had offered... my waist is a size 8 and everything else is a 4??? so 1 week before the big day the dress comes in the mail ...see pic below...

 

it wasn't blush 

it didn't fit

it had tulle on tulle on tulle

the waist was up to my ribcage

it was waaaaay to big

the boobies were so close together

it wasn't blush

i've NEVER worn a bridesmaids dress after the wedding it was meant for

i hated it

it would have cost $75 to mail back to china

my mom had to go to davids bridal and buy my a dress for the wedding

moral of the story- NEVER buy a dress off of ebay, made in china, for $35

too good to be true 

true story

 

...it turned out to be a great day!
