I just re-read this. And I feel the same way about clothes. I got engaged on Christmas morning, and I’d been hoping and dreaming and plotting for months before that, and the only thing that stands out in my brain about dresses is that I want it made (because I have theswaybackfromhell), I want purple and I want a tea-length dress, fifties style. My mum wore a dress that ended above her knees when she got married nearly 23 years ago (with the 80′s headband to back that up) and she looked gorgeous, happy, and *her*. Neither of us are made to look like everyone else. (Neither is anyone, for that matter.)

I want a tea length dress! If it looks vintage, even better. I love them. Now, my mom just informed me that all tea length dresses make everyone’s calves and ankles look bad. Everyone’s. Who knew? Fortunately, I have chicken legs, so that won’t be an issue…!

If anyone is still looking for the Carolina Herrera dress, I saw it for sale at “Once Wed” for $1100. I believe it is a sample, and missing a few buttons, but that is an easy fix for such a gorgeous dress.

There was no doubt when I first put my tea length dress on! You couldn’t have slapped the smile off my face, I was so full of myself! But after not being able to see the dress for some time, I began to have overwhelming second thoughts about the “conformities” like an elaborate of modern day weddings. Thanks to some realization – I agree go with what you feel, (and trust me if it’s right you’ll feel it!), not what other think.

I also agree amy- you can totally rock the shoes in the tea length dress! I’m doing some cute wedge pumps for the ceremony in a pasture and then some cowgirl boots for the barn party!

If anyone could possibly help me find that Carolina Herrera dress it would be greatly appreciated. My sister is getting married next year and she mentioned something about the dress. I would love to surprise her. Thank you!

Where does one find that Carolina Herrera tea length dress from REAL SIMPLE Magazine(spring 2008)? I’m looking all over for “it”, as well as an affordable alternative. That dress embodies wedding simple, informal and fun. Ideas? Thanks.

I’m in the same boat and with the same debate! The tea-length 50s style vintage dress is what continues to make me stop and drool. I definitely want a vintage dress and I’m loving tea-length more and more. But a part of me would, of course, love a long dress..oh the dilema!

Good luck!

I had a tea length 50s style dress which I loved very much. Having just come back from a wedding where I watched the bride struggle to dance all night in a long gown (particularly after she took off her 4 inch heels and then made the dress too long) I reckon if you want to dance, you need to go short…

Thank you all for your wise and kind words. I told my mom about them and she giggled, and seemed more relaxed. I’m sure she’ll be reading them at length later. You guys are the savviest most kick ass group of brides I know (and yes, I’m biased).
