Dressing Gown Glamour

Picture my hair all dolled up in victory rolls, make-up perfectly applied in a vintage style, my wedding corset expertly laced, there's a hint of Chanel no. 5 wafting through the air, and there I am running around in crocs, sweat pants and a t-shirt over my corset! Uh..... NO.

One of the first things I did was start looking for a vintage dressing gown to wear as I readied myself for my big day. Yes, I know I am on a budget and this is not a necessary item, but with some of the sacrifices I did make, I think I am allowed one or two "luxury" items. I did find a gorgeous quilted 40s gown for $75 that has to be made slightly bigger in the front, but I can't wait to use it. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of it right now, but when I get some I will post.
