8 Dresses

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?).

Always a bridesmaid...
















































































































...never a bride.

Which dress was your favorite to wear? The dark blue has my vote!

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?

I guessed 70's right away - those are great photos! You wore all those dresses to church afterwards, right? ;)

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

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?

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.
