A while back when I got the pattern for the BM dresses, I picked up a retro fifties-looking swing dress pattern just for kicks. I thought I’d have my mom make it for either my rehearsal dress, or maybe a dress for the reception.
I decided that I probably wouldn’t be able to really kick up my heels (who says that anymore? I just did) wearing my slim, sheath wedding gown. So I asked my mom to sew the dress for me to wear sometime during the reception (maybe a sort of getaway dress). I picked it up this past weekend! She did an amazing job on it! I was so pleased! (I’m going to encourage her to open an Etsy shop for veils and BM dresses or something.)
But, my poor mom, she’s worked so hard making all sorts of things for our wedding—I need to do something nice for her. She hadn’t finished her own dress, and I’m not sure she’s really happy with it, so I think I’ll buy her something…
Anyhoo, I really love the collar detail on this dress!
The question is shoes. Which looks best? The patterned peep toe, pointy beige, or poofy aqua slingback?
Which shoe do you like best?
Your mom is so talented!
I LOVE the dress. So classy yet fun! I like the blue aqua shoes the best.
Patterned peep toe! Wow, your mom is amazing talented — and that dress looks so good on you!
I like the peep toes and the blue! I’m wearing an off-white dress and patterned peeps for my civil ceremony too!
I like the patterned peep toe!
your mom’s amazing - that dress is rockin!
WOW, can I borrow Mama Perfume for our wedding?! She is amazing! You look amazing in her creation. Regarding the shoe choice, I love the look of #1, too. 
The dress looks amazing!!! And I like the peep toes!!
It’s hard to tell for sure, but I’d go #1 as well. I don’t really like the pointy toes pair, and I do like the aqua shoe but it might distract from your awesome dress.
I can’t believe your mom made that dress. It’s amazing! She is quite the seamstress. I would love a dress like that!
Since the photo is so small, I am having a hard time deciding between the pointy beige or poofy aqua slingback –- either one would look fabulous.
That dress looks amazing! and I vote for the aqua poof
#1!
Wow…..let us know if she opens an Etsy shop! Gorgeous!!
Anywho I vote for the peep toes, so glamourous!
LOVE the dress!!!! And you look gorgeous in it! #1 shoe for sure!!!!!
Patterend peep toe for sure! The blue is a bit off with teh dress color and the poity ones are too heavy for the dress. The peep toes are perfect!

Mrs. Perfume, DC Age and Occupation: 36, Consultant (and Part-Time Professor) Fiance's Age and Occupation: 41, Consultant Engagement Date: May 13, 2008 Wedding Date: May, 2009 Venue: The Homestead, Hot Springs, Virginia About Me: I'd like to think that I'm a modern day Little Edie Beale. Only not as..."talented". More realistically, I'm a foodie who can't bake; a dancer and dilettente; an art collector with a penchant for the whimsical and subversive. I live in the city and adore the country, but not much in between. I like smart design, great craftmanship and good value. Most of all, I love the new vintage aesthetic: classic, sweet, delicate, bespoke. If I had to do it all over again, I'd go for a culinary arts degree rather than a PhD; but wouldn't trade Mr. P for the world.
