Maybe you can have it refitted?

I would LOVE to take anniversary pictures with our wedding clothes (my husband owns his tux as well). But I'm afraid I can't fit in my wedding dress right now. Ironic, since I paid a tailor quite a sum to alter it down to fit me, and perhaps the original dress would fit now.

(It was funny too, because of the design of the dress, he couldn't alter it to fit me perfectly, so he told me he would alter it and I had to lose 5 pounds, which I did!)

I suppose I could have it altered, but I am having trouble finding a tailor. I have 6 pairs of pants that have been waiting.....

We've been married six years. There's a moderate difference in size since then. Both of us have lost weight. I don't know how it would fit me now. It's more of a special occasion dress, like Easter or Christmas, than a wedding gown. I can't find it now at the site where I bought it.

At the church I go to, attire is actually presented to us as "come as you are." My pastor founded it on his vision from God of a "new kind of Christian fellowship." Smack on the front of their website is something on the order of "We preach in jeans -- dress how you like."

I just throw some sweat pants and a hoodie and a pair of sandals.

Sandles are inappropriate, if its too cold out.

I generally wear Blue Jeans and a T-shirt, I have on occasion worn a sport coat or a polo. Never had anyone mention anything to me about it.

However, growing up I was born into a nominally Mormon Family. I really enjoyed going to church, however their were times that I was physically refused entry into the sanctuary for not having a shirt with an collar and tie. And if I remember it was with an hand on the chest.

At my church it runs the gamut...shorts and t-shirts to dress slacks and sportscoats. Our "dress code" is please wear clothes. I don't wear shorts...too chubby. Jeans, a skirt, nice top, shoes or sandals/flip flops...

 

[Thunder Peel]

I'm pretty casual.

This coat sure would look good with dress pants shirt and tie!

My girls and I wear long skirts, my husband and the boys wear slacks and a button up shirt.

I dress modestly and wear long (knee to floor length) dresses or skirts to Sunday liturgy. I usually cover my arms (I have ugly tattoos on right arm) but rarely will wear 3/4 sleeves. I'm not always very formally dressed though. Last Sunday I wore my teva sandals with a long skirt. I sometimes walk the three miles home since I don't have a car. I don't think God minds. Modesty and humility seem more important to me than being dolled up but sometimes I do that too.

At weekday services I wear jeans sometimes, especially if I'm rushing in from housework or regular work. I'd prefer not to but in a pinch I'd rather just get to church. My non church attire is generally pretty modest anyway.

I don't go to church currently, though I'm going to.
I don't really have 'dress' shirts, and the only thing I ever wear out in public, is a red flannel button up shirt, blue jeans, and a brown hat.

Sorry, for some reason I got a picture of Ignatius J Reilly in my head.

I kind of dress conservatively. The key is probably not to draw attention to oneself.

Some churches might prefer long sleeves, but I guess you prefer long sleeves because you now don't like your tattoos; maybe a bit of ink touch up and/or redesign might help you be less self conscious? (Just my 2c...)

God bless you guys!

I personally will only wear dresses or skirts. I do not think it is proper and now this is my opinion I do not think it is proper for a woman to wear blue jeans or slacks in church.
