I was amusing/distracting myself earlier by browsing wedding dresses at Etsy when I chanced upon this lovely thing. Behold, the Emily dress from Etsy user threadhead:
Says the description on the page:
Emily features a natural waist and sweetheart neckline. The waist is accented with a handmade chiffon flower and ribbon sash, shown here in black. The sheer silk chiffon overlay is gathered onto the fitted organic cotton underlayer of the bodice. The skirt is hemmed for a soft bubble hem effect. Emily is pictured in organic cotton with an unbleached silk chiffon overlay. Fully lined in organic cotton.
Such a beautiful dress. I love the black ribbon. What got to me was how simple it is, the clean lines, the obvious lack of ostentatious beading. You see, I'm not really fan of blingy wedding dresses. Good for you if you like them, but it's just not for me. I also love how the dress looks so soft and comfortable, how I could easily imagine the bride moving about and dancing -- which I think should be one of the top considerations for a wedding dress.
I actually imagine this to be a bridesmaid dress if I were to use it for my own wedding (whenever that may be, but don't hold your breath), but I may have to cut it shorter for that purpose.
At US$800 plus shipping (US$25 if you live in the United States, $40 elsewhere) this is more than my imaginary wedding budget could afford. I know some of you would take this picture and show it to your seamstresses, am I right? It's a great dress template of sorts because there's not a lot of embellishments so if you really like this dress' shape and form then by all means put all the beads and crystals you want if you want to.
Eco-friendly and quite customizable, the Emily dress may be the one for you.
