I know I already have a wedding gown which I LOVE, but I can imagine myself wearing this if I would have had a "white" or "ivory" wedding. I could actually imagine the applique' and beading on this being black, including the detail on the bottom. This gown would have been my IDEAL gown!!!! Very romantic, sparkly, and lot's of beaded applique'. The one thing I would change would be the back of the gown. It would need a lace-up corset. The stole she is wearing is EXACTLY what I want to wear with my gown, but in black. I'm so glad I decided to drool over the Maggie Sottero website again, because I ran across this excellent example of the black shawl or "stole" that I have been talking about. This is so beautiful....
What do you all think?
I think I'm going to pick up some black tulle and try it with my gown when I go to visit "her" again. I'm also going to bring some long black chandelier earrings and a big sparkly cocktail ring.
