About Mrs. Bubblegum

And The Winner Is…

January 8th, 2008 @ 11:29 am by Mrs. Bubblegum

Before I reveal the dress that won, I’d like to take this time to give an honorable mention to the runners up.

Dresses #1 and #6 - I’d like to thank you for being beautiful, yet simple. You were the favorites of both my mom and SIL. In fact, you both made the final 3. Unfortunately, #6, you made my back look icky (juuuuust trust me), and #1, you did not fit me as well in the waist as the winner. But a valiant effort by you both.

Dress #2 and #3 - I am really into the idea of lace overlays, and you both exhibited them beautifully. In fact, the more I look at the pictures, the more I think I love you - especially the lace train of #2 and the corset back of #3. But, alas, you were very heavy to wear, and again, you could have fit me better.

Dress #5 - My mom said you made me look “innocent.” Well, since I will be coupling you with hot red shoes, “innocent” wasn’t really the look I was going for. But you were breezy and comfortable and will make some bride very happy.

WHICH LEEEEEAVVVVVESSS - DRESS #4!!!!!!!!

Dress #4 - You have been the apple of my eye since the day I got engaged. I first fell in love with you when I saw your picture online. My love solidified when we came together as one on this fateful day. You are simple, yet interesting. And you fit me perfectly - with my shoes, with no alterations - and I thank you for that. Let us all put our hands together for Dress #4.

After the awards ceremony, I took Dress #4 home and tried her on again (is it weird that my dress is a her? I don’t have a name for her yet). I tried to take more pictures, but my full-length mirror is sorta tiny, so this is the best I could do (I did end up getting the green sash, which I do not plan to put into a bow in the back. However, they needed to order me a new one because there was gook on it, so I don’t have it yet… this is the sash that came with the dress, and y’know what? I kinda like it this way… so one more decision to make.):

While zipping her up, a RENEGADE FUZZY leapt into the zipper, causing the zipper to distort. I, however, did not notice this little issue until trying to remove the dress, at which point - I got stuck. I got stuck in my dress within 20 minutes of getting her home. I frantically pulled at the zipper. Nothing. I tried to pull the dress over my head, but the beautiful structure of the dress would not allow it. Forget trying to pull it over my hips. I very carefully removed the fuzzy and pulled the zipper again. And again. Relentlessly for TEN MINUTES until FINALLY I gave up and whined, “Misssssster Bubbbbbblegum, I neeeeeeed you, I’m stuck in my DRESS!”

Now, poor Mr. BG did not want to see me in my dress until the wedding. However, dire times call for desperate measures, so I turned the dress backwards so that he would not get the full effect. He pulled the zipper. He tried to pull it over my head. He pulled the zipper again. Still nothing. During a whining fit, I pulled again, and VOILA! I was FREEEEEEEE!!!!!! And luckily, with the fuzzy removed, the zipper now functions perfectly. And that, my friends, was the story of the renegade fuzzy.

it’s gorgeous, and you look soooo pretty! I actually much prefer the white ribbon to the green sash, I just find the sash a bit heavy for the dress. Although a ribbon in green would be nice? Oh decisions decisions! The endless sash/ribbon possibilities are tormenting me too! Good luck with whatever you decide, it’s a gorgeous dress and it sounds like it was meant to be!

You look so lovely in that dress…okay, who am I kidding…you rock it. The neckline is perfect and the ribbon adds just the right touch.

Very pretty! I also like the white sash/ribbon better than the green - the green is a little overpowering for the already beautiful gown.

Congrats. You look great in it. Alas, I was rooting for one of the other ‘losers’ since one of those dresses was my dress.

you know, when i read your blog yesterday, this dress was my least favorite of the lot because of that sash. it just looked too big for the dress, but now, with the smaller ribbon, the dress looks amazing on you. lol.

I agree with what everyone is saying about the white ribbon. It looks great…especially since you will be wearing red shoes. The red shoes with the green sash might look kinda odd.

I love your dress! It looks perfect on you and for some reason, made me think of Belle (yes, the Disney character)–take that as a compliment bc its meant to be one! Funny story about the fuzzy by the way, could totally picture that.

Thank you, Miss Bubblegum! That story made me literally laugh out loud. I’m so glad that the zipper and the dress (and you and Mr. B!) survived that escapade. And just seeing you eye that one, with its wonderfully green sash, in the mirror in the pics of the last post, I knew that you picked that one - congrats on finding your dress!! But I have to say, I do kind of like it with just the white sash! Decisions, decisions indeed! Best of luck with the choices and decisions to come! :)
