How about a match? Or maybe you should just put a match to the $3600 instead? I can't imagine pulling this dress out 40 years down the road and showing your grandkids what grandma wore the day she got married. "Your grandpa wasn't the only thing that was lit on our wedding day! And look! Grandma was wearing red and green blinking lights that flashed 'Stop and Go!'" Colored lights on a holiday dress are one thing, but on your wedding dress? This was either made as a sample for Wal-Marts Bentonville clothing buyers or it is a joke. Battery pack to light it?

I took a burgundy colored gown I found deeply discounted at Marshall's and sewed four sets of battery operated white Christmas lights into the skirt fabric. The battery packs were sewn into a makeshift pockets in the tulle. Probably was not as elegant looking as the above but still not the "show girl Vegas" look. Think more like the pinpoint lights in the Sarah McLachlan "Building a Mystery" music video. The dress did make quite an impression, even long after leaving my architecture firm, my former coworkers still talk about it. :) That dress brings back fond memories of my first corporate holiday party.
