Playing dress-up…
April 1, 2010
My wedding dress arrived (I only ordered it on Tuesday, bravo J.Crew!) and it fits perfectly!!! I am absolutely, positively in love. I didn’t realize until trying it on just now how similar the design is to the ivory gown Grace Kelly wears in To Catch a Thief. Do you remember it? I’m almost certain J.Crew’s design team must have had the iconic dress in mind when they created the Taryn. I’ve always admired Kelly’s dress (it’s one of my all time favorite films) and couldn’t be more pleased with my pick. Next up accessories and decorations!

Thanks Kirby! If I hadn’t already tried some of their dresses on at the NY trunk show last spring I would have been more wary, but I knew my size and that I loved J.Crew’s collection. It was all so simple!! XO

Hooray! Oh you will look gorgeous! And the dress is definitely similar. GORGEOUS!
-
I’m so glad you went with the Taryn!! It will look stunning I’m sure.
-
I totally thought Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief (has there ever been a more beautiful or glamorous woman than Grace Kelly?)! I’m sure you look radiant in it. Congrats!
P.S. One of my best friends is named Taryn. :-)

Lauren — Thank you darling!!
Joanna — I think Taryn is a very cool name, lucky girl! Love that you’re a fellow Grace Kelly fan! XO

That is stunning.
We must have been on the same brain wavelength as of late.
I feel as if I am having deja vous while reading this post. -
Thanks Karen! Not that I’ll ever live up to her, but yes…fun to channel : )
XOXO -
If your dress made you feel like Grace Kelly, then it’s definitely the one. I’m so happy it fit so well and that you love it. Can’t wait for what come next!

Yay, how exciting for you! Don’t you love great customer service? This dress is going to look so, so beautiful on you! Was thinking … I’m sure John reads your blog, so has he seen the dress? Do you care? Curious.

Congratulations!! It’s a beautiful gown!!
And I looooove Grace Kelley. So glamorous and sophisticated. I’m sure you’ll look just as beautiful on your big day!
(and P.S.- you’re so smart to get a dress that will allow you to move around comfortably! Trust me, you’ll be glad you did!)

Hip hip hooray! You’re going to look just as gorgeous as Grace {these things I know}. So happy you’re happy. Happy weekend!
Cheers.

How exciting and brilliant about the dress. And look at Grace Kelly! Every time I see her I notice all over again quite how stylish and elegant she was. Wonderful pictures.

YEAH!!!! I’m so excited for you! I don’t think I would have the courage to order a wedding dress online with out trying it on first. so i’m very impressed.
