Help me find my dream dress!

wishinpink

I've tried on enough dresses now that I know what I want, but I can't find it.I like- a scalloped lace with a mild sweetheart strapless top.lots of beading (but not colored beading)a dropped waist (asymmetrical okay)Corset backNot too much ruching or huge division between bodice and skirt. Also, I don't like chiffon on wedding dresses.The skirt should be full but not ballgown full- somewhere between an A line and ballgownand a pretty train!A dress I've liked so far - Casablanca 1904, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for.Please help!Does it exist? Since you guys have tried on many dresses, maybe someone knows something like this?

Well maybe not, lol... I just looked at the Casablanca dress and they are very different!

Have you looked at the Paloma Blanca 3969 ?

There are a few Modern Trouseau dresses with the sweetheart/scalloped lace top.  Check out the 2009/2010 collection, or Cara, Tailor, and Zoe: http://www.moderntrousseau.com/bridal-collection09.html

What about this?http://morilee.com/DressDetail.aspx?C=12&D=4176&P=1orone of these:And of course you could always wear a really full crinoline under your skirt to make it poof more.

Try googling those requirements and see what images pop up.  Also, are you a satin girl, tafetta, chiffon, organza, tulle, etc.?

The waistline made me think of Maggie Sottero's "Coco": http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?keywordText=coco&keywordType=any&page=0&pageSize=15&style=A3149 I also thought of mine, Maggie Sottero's "Brittanya Lynette" - it's got a lot of what you described. The top is lace but isn't sweetheart, but you could probably have that altered. And it doesn't have a dropped waist. But it's got pretty beading on top and scattered over the A-line skirt (and you can add a crinoline to make it poofier), it's got a corset back and I really love the train: http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?keywordText=brittanya&keywordType=any&page=0&pageSize=12&style=A612

AhhH! Thanks for all your help!! I'm starting to feel kinda bratty but .. none yet for the perfect one! =(More detail on the skirt--I like it when the skirt has some little pickups, but only like it when there are very few.I like it when the train is beaded.I also like this dress-http://www.brides.com/fashion/dresses/gallery/wedding_dresses/vendor/designer/davidsbridal/detail/183608?f=106%3A116&offset=5

you know casablanca will make changes on the gown, my girlfriend bought one at rkbridal.com, but went into their store in new york city and had custom changes done. She looked great.They also match prices with other stores so it pays to go to them if you are local, if not do their mail order
