help me cover up!

I went in for a fitting a week ago and when I put on the dress all I saw was SKIN! I'll admit, I'm not some tiny thing, the sleeveless dress is making me very self conscious, all I saw was arms and upper chest (it is remarkably modest in that it covers any possible view of cleavage but still)

So I'm thinking a wrap. Especially since I have a short dress and no veil, this will really dress things up.

This is the one I found at david's bridal. It's rediculously expensive (almost a hundred bucks!) for something I would never wear again.


This and the following two are the ones I found online only available in the UK that I LOVE. I'd love to find something along these lines. SO romantic and long enough that you don't mess with it all day. The first one is my favorite.

This sorry looking thing is about all I'm finding on ebay.

Does anyone have one, have any ideas where I can find one (fairly quickly at that!) IDEAS PLEASE!!!!

Hi Kim~
i LOVE the first one too!! It looks like it was made for your wedding!!! Also, for what it is worth, on your make up i LOVE your eyes, your lips seem a bit too brown!?!? any way you could play with deeper red tones? just my 2 cents. Love katrina
ps thank you for the beautiful commment, you made my day.

I swear it's the picture, the lips are this really pretty pink with a tinge of orange. but it was good to see in the camera because I agree with you, more wine less orange. that's why you do a trial right?

Go to Joann's and buy a couple/three of yards of fabric and find someone with a serger to roll the edges of the fabric for you. Inexpensive (if not downright cheap) solution for you.

My mom even has a serger. I may end up doing JUST that. Then I can have it super wide like I'm thinking I'll want.

Hey there: I got a really great wrap to go with my teal green dress at Penney's (no lie). You could also go with a little sweater. Becky did the sweater thing and it was really beautiful.
