The definition of this french word is the personal outfit of the bride: clothes, accessories and linens. I'm not sure what the linens refer to but lets just say a handkerchief for my tears of joy.
So the list of stuff I need to get is follows (this is in access of the dress)
headpiece and veil
bustier (corset just cause I'm adventurous)
pantyhose/stockings
garter
petticoat/slip (poofy for fullness of dress)
shoes
jewelry
wrap/cape/gloves (it's gonna be Nov so I gotta be prepared)
Purse (bc I didn't buy the dress with pockets)
Above all this I need something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.
I am really glad all the books/articles I have seen give a guide to the brides trousseau. I can't believe how naive I was to think the dress was the hard part. I can't see myself trying on the bustier and jumping up and down saying "This is the one, oh my I have to have this."
Hopefully, I can avoid the HIGH gouged prices at bridal salons. I got a tip from Dan's mother about a lingerie store in Champaign. Perhaps they will have a great quality bustier for a reasonable price, I'm not paying $79 for a piece of crap David's wants to sell me.
I'm gonna try and go shopping this weekend to at least track down some of this stuff. I also hear the internet is a good source for wedding stuff.
P.S. Hair style is still not decided. I need to find someone who has experience with hair pieces. If I want the hair style that I like. I need to add fullness to my hair...why do I have thin and fine hair? My answer is a double curse. Extra hair added to the trousseau, I think I can do that?
