Pink dress, over and out

Wore the dress. Not very happy with it, I ended up ditching the whole contrasting fabric idea and did the lining and bustle in the same pink fabric as the rest of the dress, which was a bore. I didn't have enough time to make a matching hair ornament or find matching earrings, which makes the whole thing feel a bit half-assed, and there are a few fit issues that need fixing - nothing disastrous, but irritating. The fact that there's a size difference between my breasts usually doesn't really affect the way other things than bras fit on me, for instance, but it was quite noticeable in this dress. Only to me, I think, but still irritating and needs to be fixed.

A's sister very kindly lent me a pair of earrings that worked very well with the dress, though, and I found a small, vintage red and pink sequin appliqué at Old Touch that went well with the fabric. I received lots of compliments on the dress, so I seem to have been the only person who didn't like it, and I was complimented on my posture of all things, too, that made me really happy..

The party was great, though, the subject was very pleased, which is the important thing, and we had fun. In a way, I wish I had made a bigger deal of my birthday this year; as it is, I'm still a little disappointed with it and still a little angry with A for being so nonchalant about it.

Oh well.
