Anyone wearing Pronovias Harlem or Grecia???

I'm leaning (heavily) towards the Harlem, but am considering the Grecia and possibly tucking the strap in so I can wear it strapless during the ceremony. Anyone wearing either of these dresses? I would love to see them on a real bride!

Go to the Planning and Etiquette board.  Knottie ggmae wore Harlem and just posted her married bio a few minutes ago--the post is called AW: Pro Pics.  She looks gorgeous in it.

Me me me! Pics in my Miss and Mrs bios. I love my dress and got so many compliments on it. It was lighter because of the material, fit me like a glove, and I felt beautiful in it.

Thanks ladies! Gretchen, you looked AMAZING! Thanks for sharing your pics. I think you just helped me make up my mind. The sample I looked at was teensy tiny and wouldn't go all the way over my hips so I had to use my imagination. It helps to see it on a real person and not a robot model.   Congrats - your wedding was beautiful!

Paige - I tried on 6 dresses total and when I tried on Harlem, I just knew it was the one for me. It's so simple and elegant. I can't say enough great things about it! The dress size is pretty true to your street size (I'm an 8 street and was an 8 in Harlem.) Thank you for the compliments. We had a great day and DH couldn't get over how "beautiful" I looked. If you end up getting it, page me on P&E. I want to see pics!

I'm 99% certain I will end up wearing Harlem. I just have to wait for my mom to visit next month so I can get her 2 thumbs up on it. I will definately share my pics once I get it. I can't wait!!! I was alone the first time I looked at it, so I'm going back with a few girl friends tomorrow. I'm going to coax my already married friend who wasn't cursed/blessed with my child-bearing hips to try the dress on for me so I can at least see it on a real human in real life instead of drooping sadly from a hanger. I'm so excited!!! Thanks again for sharing your lovely pics!

I took just my mom the first time, and my MOHs three days later to show them the dress. They loved it! I have "child-bearing hips" as well and needed to wiggle into the sample. I had to wiggle into mine as well, but they told me I'd have to. GL! It's a beautiful dress and IMO, it looks better on curvy girls than robot models!

Im wearing Harlem!! I know this is kind of a late post but I thought Id write just in case you were still looking at this thread:) I LOVE the dress and cannot wait for it to come in at the end of August!! Pics are in bio...

Thanks for the response, Anna! I think I actually stumbled upon your pics when I googled the dress. How ironic! You look great - share pics when the real one comes in!

I will!! Just curious, did you end up getting Harlem?

I haven't ordered it yet, but I'm planning to when my mom gets into town from MI in a couple of weeks. I can't order a dress before my mom sees it. Since the ol' lady lives across the country (I'm in Denver), I haven't gotten to dress shop with her at all. I can't decide if I should go to a couple more places with her since it's the only time I'll get to, or if I should just stick to showing her Harlem. What do you ladies think?

I would go around and show her a couple more dresses and make the shop with Harlem your last stop. That way she has something to compare Harlem too. Thats what I did. I had my MOH, mom, grandma and dad with me and they saw me in about a dozen dresses. I knew I really wanted Harlem but wanted to try it on last. As soon as they saw me in it they all agreed it was the one!! Good luck and keep us posted:)
