Which Dress?

I'm sitting here at 3:34am thinking about what to write about. I'm due for another post but not sure what to post about.

Today was a pretty good day. My boyfriend and I woke up late but he had to go into the city to pay a bill. Yes, we went to the city to pay ONE bill. How stupid? He could've paid at the bank here in town but this bank is very well known for screwing up a lot. He's had a lot of bills that he had to pay twice because they screwed up. I've only had to pay ONE bill here and they screwed that somehow. Thus he no longer pays his bills at the bank in town. And there is no SaskPower office in town anymore so we went to the city. We also stopped at Walmart and I picked up a few things and then we came home. It was a short trip but I liked it.

I bought weighted hand gloves! I'm so excited to use them! I like doing workout games on the Wii but they don't challenge me enough so I have wanted to buy weighted hand gloves for a while so now I finally have them! I can amp up the burn now! I also bought some heavy cream to make coffee creamer. Most recipes call for sweetened condensed milk with milk but sweetened condensed milk is expensive! And other recipes call for whole milk but I prefer very thick and creamy creamer so I'm using heavy cream instead. I mixed up some Peppermint Mocha and Cinnamon Strudel creamer tonight and I'm VERY excited to try them tomorrow.

This past September I went to a family friend's son's wedding and saw his sister who I haven't seen in years. She was very disappointed that I didn't wear a dress that I had made. I post a lot on Facebook about the stuff I'm making and I guess she's been following me a bit and was really hoping that I would be wearing a dress that I had made. And I had planned on it! I never get to wear dresses so for special occasions like weddings I make a dress but then I just didn't really feel like making one this time so I wore a skirt and shirt that was already in my closet. The second son is getting married this coming summer so his sister made me promise to make something for that wedding so she can see one of my designs. I haven't decided on what I want to make though. I do have a few ideas.

 I like this skirt but I'm not the biggest fan of it. This is an nice design but I do want something a little bit more unique. 



 This one seems very casual but that would still work. I like how the top with the strap is a little bit different.



 I really like this dress. I like the top of it. I like the bottom, the gathering. Overall, I'm a fan.



 This one is once again not a really unique one but I have always liked the tops like this.



 This is a design I like with the waist like this and a fuller skirt. And the neckline is really nice. Overall, I'm a fan of this one.



 This one is mainly the strap that I like.



 I really only like the cross over straps for this one. If I don't do that for this dress then I will eventually.



Overall, I like this one. I like the straps. I've actually had the idea for straps like that in my head for a while.






All of those dresses I really like but now I can't decide. I want something that's different. I like doing stuff with a base dress and something see through over top. I also like playing around with the straps. So all the dresses above give me some rough ideas but I don't know which I like best...which do you like best??

Should I have a fuller skirt or just a straight one? Should I do a see through material over top? One shoulder or halter top? Decisions, decisions! So many designs I like but only one occasion.
