Trying to find a bridesmaid dress? Tricky.

Trying to find one that will suit me and match what the other bridesmaid is wearing? Trickier.

Trying to find one that will suit me, match the other bridesmaid, and match the bright red dress the bride is wearing? VERY VERY HARD.



I am theoretically in favour of the philosophy that bridesmaids should wear different dresses, rather than condemning them all to radioactive green with frills - but in practice, it's a pain.

Well, I'm getting this from my embarrassing amount of experience watching Say Yes to the Dress, but I believe red is the traditional color of Indian wedding dresses, since white is for mourning. So your friend is either Indian or being multiculti? :)

Also Deird, I don't follow Australian politics too closely, I hear there's some crazy stuff going on about immigration and Aborigines? And it would be easier to get you to explain it than to look it up myself. :)

I think she just doesn't like white dresses and sees no reason to be traditional...


I hear there's some crazy stuff going on about immigration and Aborigines?

I... haven't heard about that. What about Aborigines?

(We tend to have an ongoing immigration debate simmering in the background. But I haven't seen anything particularly exciting happening in that area lately.)
