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.
Mama Milkshake No. 2
July 1st, 2008 @ 1:37 pm by Mrs. Milkshake
Yay! Mama Milkshake number two (Mr. Milkshake’s mom) bought two hot little numbers for herself. It’s so nice to see our mothers in dresses, so here’s her very own tribute in the few photos I was able to snap of her. This particular store in Vancouver’s Chinatown had tonnes of dresses that were in the $50-99 price range and alterations seemed to be complimentary! They have a good handful of these stores in Vancouver’s Chinatown, and I realized a little while ago that Seattle offers nothing of the sort. My friend rented a Cheong Sam from a local Seattle shop for her wedding because that was the only option.
Did you help your FMIL shop for her dress?

My FMIL is already anxious about what dress to buy and the wedding is still 11 months away. I told her that even if she’s in jeans, as long as she feels fabulous, I don’t care what she wears. 
But I’ll be happy to go with her to buy something if she wants the help!
wow, i like the second teal dress on her. she looks great!
You’re FMIL is so cute! I loved the dress w/ the Peacock print.
I’m definitely going to offer, because FMIL MagPie is more tomboyish than girly — she may be intimidated by dress shopping.
OOPS Your not You’re hahahahahaha!
I love her facial expressions in the first two pictures! Like, “oh I’m not sure about this” and then “this dress makes me feel great”! Very cool that you got to share this experience with your FMIL.
hiya! was just wondering what the name of the store in Vancouver is?? thanks
Sadly, I didn’t go shopping with my mom, who lives in Vancouver….but I did go shopping with my FMIL who lives a few blocks away from me. It was such a great bonding experience! 
My FMIL was thinking that she might wear the same dress that she wore to FBIL’s wedding 10 years ago. *roll of the eyes* Needless to say FSIL tactfully saved the day when she mentioned that it may look odd in the pictures she will have of both weddings around the house. OH wait, I didn’t mention that at said wedding FMIL’s ex-MIL wore the same dress she did! (I know that’s a lot of “MIL”s, but WOW!)
