Rehearsal Dinner Dress

A lot has been going down over here at The Greedy Seagull HQ. I went home to get married last week, found a new apartment, and am hosting a huge vintage shopping event in Manhattan tomorrow with Meghann of Thrifty Fashionista. Needless to say, the blog has been a bit neglected in favor of running around like a maniac doing things. However, I just had to share the thing I was most excited about showing you all- my rehearsal dinner dress!

It's a 40's Alfred Shaheen, back when the label just read "Shaheen of Hawaii". I fell in love with it months before the wedding; it belonged to my dear friend Ricky who has a booth at Artists and Fleas and is actually the Yoda of vintage. Sadly it did not fit when I first tried it, but that dress haunted me in my sleep. Well, after all the wedding stress and steamed vegetables I lived on for two months it just zipped up for the rehearsal dinner.... and made it all worth it. My mother in law did my hair and bought me the awesome orchid earrings from her friend who makes them. Wedding pics will soon follow!
