I was out last night at the evening part of an old friend and work colleague's wedding reception.
Lovely to be invited.
Perfect excuse to frock up!
Every time I have worn this fabulous 1970s maxi, which was a gift from darling Helga (last seen here), I feel glamorous and special.
And I get complimented.
Which is always a good thing!
It's a magic dress.
Look, it makes me go all soft focus and romantic and winsome...
Must be the sight of people finding love in spite of previous heartache and disappointment.
Congratulations David and Sharon!
That's Robert, Dave and I with our pints lined up in front of us.
I may look like a lady, but I drink like a navvy!
Yeah, I might have been a bit pissed. It was a wedding!
And unlike Rob, I didn't have work the next morning, ha!
Oh I can be a hard-faced old cynic, without a shred of romance in me, but a good wedding and a few pints blurs my sharp edges...
...until I'm willing to believe love really is in the air!

Late night bloggers unite!
I love a good wedding (have been known to shed the odd tear, I'm such a sap), perfect opportunity to frock up and dance the night away! You look fab and congratulations to the happy couple x
Hi Curtise, I've been eagerly checking for your latest post all day. It was a good night and your post is a pleasant reminder.
I love colours, came across your blog via Diane's heart shaped blog, love the colours in these photos - reminds me of a gustav klimt painting - thanks
You look frigging GORGEOUS in that frock! I'm still seething that it didn't fit me!!! DIVOON!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It is a magic dress Curtise and you look magic, stunning, beautiful etc in it.
Great dress and I love your sense of humor.
That dress is stunning! How lovely to have been gifted such a magical dress. We all need some magic in our lives.
That Helga maxi is a masterpiece! You look super special, just perfect for a wedding. Xx
OMG I have a magic dress too... that I posted about. *LOL*
Woohoo for magical dresses!! You look super beautiful and it sounds like you had a great time.
=D
You are an enchantress under the sea in this glamour gown, it fits you just so in all the right places. Is it shimmery too? Helga really hooked you up with this one and you more than delivery. I love that love gets ya :) and you wear your buzz with a smile :) your exceptionally over the moon magnificent in this one?
Loveyougirl-

Looks like fun, although I have never drank a pint in my life, my teeny bladder (add in old lol) couldn't take it. Beautiful dress.

that is a gorgeous dress on you Curtise, love the sleeves and the pattern and everything about it, especially its soft focus powers, I definitely need a magic dress like that! xx
That is a magical dress - the neckline and sleeves are just perfect. Lovely colours on you as well. I'm glad you had a super time at the wedding:D
That dress is indeed magical, those angel sleeves are so pretty on you and it shimmers like silk! Helga was spot on with her choice!
I avoid weddings like the plague, it's been years since I last ran out of excuses and had to go to one (and that was in India so pretty much bearable) but the bride does look lovely and that is one sexy frock.
Hope the hangover wasn't too painful! xxxxxxx
Oh, the adore you as winsome. All fluggy, flurry, slurg romancy slobbery. The world needs much more of this - and you are just the person to give it to us!!! I suspect that apart from the bride herself, you were the most fetching woman in the room in that stunning frock worn with a wide-eyed sweepingly romantic outlook, perhaps some would say pie-eyed. Trust the almighty Helga to send you this gift of love potion.
Another beautiful maxi - you look lovely. I love the sleeves and neckline. What's it made of - it looks quite satin-y?
Looks like a great wedding too!

Fantastic dress :-)
Dazzling dress indeed!
WEddings always make me mushy, especially, like you say, people initing after previous disappointments.
xx
Wow, Helga chose so well. This dress looks stunning on you. Dammit, it is always nice to get compliments isn't it. I love that ever so slightly squiffy picture of you. That smile says it all, ha ha! xx
That is one STUNNINGLY gorgeous dress!!! And you are ROCKIN' it!!
Bite THIS Boring Soccer MomS!!

The dress does look magical in your wedding pic. I heard a lovely love story today too. It must be in the air!
Yes Curtise this dress is wonderful and looks gorgeous on you!
Ariane xxxxx
This dress is gorgeous on you, no wonder you get compliments! I'm not a fan of weddings but I do love the thought of people finding true love after disappointment
That dress is just lovely. I'm not surprised that you feel special in it, and get compliments. Helga was spot on!
The bride and groom look so happy, and I adore the photo of you with your pint - a woman after my own heart!

Lovely dress and nice pictures!
That dress was made for you Curtise you look stunning in it. I'm with Vix on wedding receptions and tend to avoid them if I can but must admit a few pints does make them more bearable. I can get a bit shitty if they don't have draught cider tho! ha ha.
Thanks for your lovely comment.xx
That dress is just perfect on you. The fit, the colours, everything is divine. I love a good wedding reception, or any other excuse to get glammed up really. x
I adore that song! And that dress is gorgeous on you, no wonder you get compliments!
I am in the group that avoids weddings if at all possible, although there was a time when I did wedding photography. YOu look smashing in that dress; I love the fluttery sleeves, and the waist-nipping cut. I'm sure everyone was secretly envying you. You do "wistful" very well!
I love that you can be both gorgeous AND pissed :P I love a great wedding reception, especially the ones where the only thing you can remember the next day is standing on a table and telling everyone how much you loved them :P
What an amazing frock! I wouldn't have been able to take my eyes off you all night in that gorgeous dress.
Oooh this frock IS magic and so are you! Holy guac-frickin-mole - the colours! the sleeves! the silky fabric! it fits you like a dream and you are a total movie star... you look so BEAUTIFUL!!! I don't believe in love - but I like to celebrate other people's happiness. And I like to celebrate YOU in that MAGICAL FROCK!!! Love! Sarah xxx
