27 Dresses opens in theaters today so I am posting 8 photos (I believe they are in order) from the 8 times I was a bridesmaid in the 80's (did I really need to tell you it was the 80's?).
I bet you all sewed your dresses, too, huh? My sister sewed all of ours so we would all match. You have the greatest greatest dimples. DID you wear the dresses again?
I was born and raised in Van Nuys, California. I moved to Boston sight-unseen and have loved living in New England since that day when I said, "this apartment is OLD". My hobbies are antiquing, reading books and magazines (bring back Blueprint and Domino please), sewing, quilting, sightseeing, watching movies, and photography. I love the color red and have a retro red refrigerator (and kitchen aid mixer and ice cream maker and toaster and...) to prove it! I live in a converted high school and love decorating my loft condo (w/ 18 foot ceilings) that was formerly the auditorium. I have 3 brothers, 11 nieces and nephews, and a bus fleet of friends.

Which dress was your favorite to wear? The dark blue has my vote!
I have to say I do remember all of those trends...the color schemes and the styles! so funny:)
The second picture is my favorite. The white scalloped-edge hats are the best! Did you ever wear any of the dresses a second time?
Now those are some good looking dresses! I just love the 80's
I guessed 70's right away - those are great photos! You wore all those dresses to church afterwards, right? ;)
Ellen, I love the one of you with Heidi and Holly. That is a classic!
Woo Hoo! I can't wait to see the movie. I still love the size 12 top the best.
If I knew you in the 80's I would have asked you to be one of my bride's maids too. rock on
And you haven't aged a bit since those pictures were taken!
Oh how funny. I log onto you blog every night when I go to bed. There we are — front and certer. I wish I still wore the same size as I did back then!
I bet you all sewed your dresses, too, huh? My sister sewed all of ours so we would all match.
You have the greatest greatest dimples.
DID you wear the dresses again?
I love it! Great pics. I only have two bridesmaids dresses - I hope that's where my numbers stop. :)
LOVE THEM!!!! Thank you for sharing...that was fabulous!
wow, ellen! i think my favorite would have to be the satiny blue dress, the second one down. do you still have any of those?
I LOVE this post! Okay I am dying at the picture 3rd from the bottom. You look pleased as punch! Great pictures!
This is, without a doubt, one of the coolest blog posts I have ever seen. Keep it up Ellen!
And the great thing about all these dresses is you can just shorten them and wear them again lol! These are great ep!
I love it, Ellen! All fantastic photos, and, I daresay, better-looking dresses than the ones in 27 Dresses.
