So, I promised once I got the pictures uploaded from my mom's phone that I would post them for you girls! You'll have to forgive my appearance, this was after 4 hours in this store and I was ready to get out of that dress. It was also hotter than blazes, so I just threw my hair up (which, I assume I'll be wearing it up for the big day, anyway, so I figured it wouldn't hurt).
Also, the second gown I tried on had a lot of intricate lacing and beading around the neckline (which I was a bit leary of) that caused my skin to turn a bright red (thus the reason I can't wear lace tops or bras), so I'm still a bit splotchy in the neckline photo.
There's plenty of altering that needs to be done. The halter straps are much too long (apparently I'm big enough to fit into a 4, just not tall enough, lol), though I haven't decided if I'm going to keep them or make it into a strapless (or some kind of other strap). They're also going to fill out the bust a little bit.
