Mrs. Milkshake's Picture
Mrs. Milkshake, Seattle/Vancouver, BC Age and Occupation: 23, Pharmacist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 25, Pharmacist Engagement Date: May 2007 Wedding Date: August 2008 Blogging Since: December 6, 2007 Venue: Victorian Mansion About Me: Despite the fact that I’ve invested many long years of my life studying the sciences in college, I’m glad to be out of there and I would never do it again! I’m super artsy at heart - I run an indie craft site, I grew up shooting and developing my own film, doing jazz and ballet, and the whole gamut of art classes. I’ve been called a Jane of all Trades… but I was also told many years ago not to make my passion my career because it’d suck the fun out of it. Hence my choice of day job. We live in Seattle but are having our wedding in Canada to be fair to all our family and friends.
About Mrs. Milkshake

I thought with the final decision on the bridesmaid dress, we’d seen the last of my dress orgies…but I was wrong. There are more dresses in the world for me to try on! And it turns out that Mr Milkshake is a pretty darn good photographer!

This blueish-green one below is perhaps even more stunning in this photo than when I tried it on. The color is gorgeous and not garish, and the yellowy-peach details go so well with my skin tone.

Finally! A dress in a store that’s my size. It even fits around my butt perfectly - ignore the one inch thick underwear line - they’re my super comfy American Eagle undies.

It fits so well I have to hike it up just a couple inches in order to sit down.

In the end I chose the dress below. Birds! Coming from the girl that owns yellow Rocket Dog shoes with embroidered birds on it, it’s totally me, and it’s going to be custom made to my size! I’ve never had anything custom made before. So a big thank you to Mr Milkshake’s mom for what’s going to be the sweetest and best fitting dress I’ve ever owned.

Ooh, I think this is my favorite dress orgy yet, with all the pretty colors and patterns! How fun! I love the lining of that dress you’re showing off along with your American Eagle undies. :)

The final choice is so pretty, I am very jealous. If I didn’t already have two cheongsams that I am changing into I would be all over that dress.

Hi Miss Milkshake,

I’m in Vancouver as well and I need to shop for a Cheong Sam. I was wondering what store you were at for these dresses?

Thanks!

You look awesome in black!! I love the dress you ended up with - you should get little red shoes to go with it. :-) Great pictures, Mr. M!

That’s a beautiful dress that you picked out Miss Milkshake! Did you get that dress in Vancouver’s Chinatown? The picture of the mannequin reflected to what looks like Chinatown and I go by there everyday to work!
