Wedding Gear Update

Mel Wong · Post by **Mel Wong** » Wed Oct 26, 2005 4:27 pm

The <a href="http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerc ... &rfnbr=696" target="_blank">chemise</a> and <a href="http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerc ... rfnbr=2476" target="_blank">lingerie</a> arrived in the mail, as did an early wedding present from a friend.

Initial Observations: <a href="http://www.hottopic.com/store/product.a ... 262&RN=282" target="_blank">Stockings</a> kept slipping down, chemise and lingerie combine to give Maximum Cleavage. Sheer bra, eyelet-embroidered chemise front and cafe-au-lait colored nipples = guests getting an eyeful more than expected. Pasties and garter belt put on shopping list.

Apparently my weight loss has made my bust comparatively bigger, as I lost weight in the midsection and my breasts have not shrunk. I have effectively gone from slightly over a 36C bra size to a full-blown 34D. I ordered the bra in C, and I fit in it (well, barely), so I'm not gonna bother exchanging it, it's still wearable and considering the effect I'm going for, suitable.

Combat boots, biker jacket and pearl necklace complete look for ultra rockabilly/punk wedding kawaiiness.

Modifications to Prototype: Went out to a naughty shop yesterday and bought a garter belt, a blue garter (you know, to fit "something borrowed something blue", and so he can remove it with his teeth), flesh-colored pasties to hide my nipples with, 48 inches of tulle and a bunch of other stuff (for veilmaking).

Also, I have gotten a haircut. It is amazing how a good hairdresser can turn 2.5 years of uncut hair mess into a sleek, layered do that flatters and looks great down or pulled up.

Second test run: Stockings stay up properly now. Garter fits nicely on my leg. Additional bit of tilitation: Chemise is knee length on me as I am petite, and the ribbons on the garter trail below the hemline. I'm not trimming them. I want the world to know I AM GETTING FUCKING MARRIED.

Pasties have not been tried, but they should work as intended. Veil fabric now needs some cursory trimming and sewing so as to look properly cute on my head. Intend to glue it onto a white or glittery hairband and just tuck it on.

Fiance and I comment on how properly "50s pinup girl" I look in wedding gear while perusing a LJ comm with pinup pictures on. Feel pretty, and witty, and like a Knob Goblin. (KoL injoke)

I think I can safely speak for all of us when I cay "I want pictures!!!"

You realize you're making all the straight boys and gay girls and about half of the gay boys and straight girls envious of your future husband. Damn, that sounds sexy.

Damn Mel.. just.. fuck that's hot.

I personally would love to see it without the pasties

Only one of many, many reasons I wanna see pictures. The lingerie should render pasties wholly redundant. (the nature of pasties themselves, incidently, render the pasties wholly uncomfortable)

Besides, they're breasts, not Barbie's dock bumpers. There's no reason to hide the fact that they're real.

A wedding dress from a bridal boutique could cost thousands of dollars. A chemise from Victoria's Secret is $22.50. I'm sticking with the chemise, thank you.

I bought UNLINED lingerie. It's sheer. As in, you can count the fingers I have behind the pantie and bra front panels if I hold them up.

I have nipples the color of cafe au lait. They're dark and quite sexy considering my bronzy skintone.

... They show, really.

And while honestly I'd not bother with it, there's going to be elderly and minors at the reception and I don't want to be responsible for strokes or for nephews popping inconvenient boners in public.

Yes, but for US! your pals, your forum friends, we the horny are BEGGING to see these cafe au lait nipples proudly standing on bronzy skin, held back by naught but a filmy layer of silk. Our eyes wide, our mouths agape, our hands twitching and straying, our voices letting out a low collective gasp and maybe even a "woooooooooooow".

Well, we were discussing getting a digital camera with which to do naughty pinup photos during our honeymoon...

I could share those. But in a solemn reception I am not showing my nipples. Afterwards, though... there could be an opportunity. And even partial nudity, like the chemise crumpled about my hips, garter belt showing, and bra off.

Yes... please.

Please Mel...don't make us beg.

Squidflakes · Post by **Squidflakes** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 7:48 am

I am more than willing to beg.

Tellner · Post by **Tellner** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 9:42 am

Gawd yes, I'll beg, plead, whatever.

Mel Wong · Post by **Mel Wong** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 12:21 pm

I just finished putting stitches into the veil to gather it. Now all I need is a comb or a hairband to sew it to. Maybe I can persuade the sweetie to take me to some place I can find one.

After I put the thing on its headpiece, I'll put some decorative bits on, and it's done, my bridal outfit is complete.

are you going with traditional flowery lacey decoration stuff on the veil, or something a little more exotic?

Mel Wong · Post by **Mel Wong** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 12:36 pm

Just a few ribbon roses on the tulle to disguise where I put all the stitching and gluing in.

Otherwise very plain and traditional. I don't like flouncy veils. A single-layer of tulle with a blusher in front is about as fluffy as it gets.

Are you going to do the old-fashioned Chinese maiden fringe?
