Wedding Dress Revisted

This week I got to do something that not many people get to do. I wore my wedding dress to work!

Tuesday evening was the launch of a new exhibition, the theme of which was Academy Awards. It said dress to impress on the invite, so I did.

Initially I was worried that I'd be too dressed up, and although (in my opinion) I had the best dress on, there were other gals in lovely formal gear too.

It was a lot of fun, and I loved peoples' reactions when they complimented me on my dress and I'd reply that it was my wedding dress. I guess not many people expect red wedding dresses (with bustle and all). Lots of challenges with people stepping on bits of my little train (which I tried my hardest to hold up) but the dress isn't any worse off than it was after the wedding.

I danced so much at our wedding that there's a small tear worn in the lining and the bottom of the dress. This doesn't really bother me as I had such a great time. Luckily it is red with black lining so that all the dirt doesn't show. Perhaps I should be more precious about my dress? I'd rather enjoy it though!
