Lace gowns

tmshipp

OK...so my brain just pictures a lace gown for my wedding....BUT I haven't found one that I LOVE on me.  I don't know if it is bc the samples aren't my size or it I haven't found the right gown.  I love the Maggie Sottero Presca and Karena Royale in pictures but it doen't have that same effect when I put it on.  I actually think that in the pictures you loose so much of the lace detail. Is that just a cheap camera in bad lighting or does that happen with professional photos as well?????

I'd love suggestions on gowns that I may not have tried on.  Like I said lace, A line or modified A line, sweetheart neckline, prefer a corset back to help suck me in!  I'm 5'8 and a street 12-14 and very insecure about my lower stomach so nothing too dropped or hip hugging.  Budget under 1500 if possible but I could do a little more if it was absolutely THE ONE.  I've tried on mostly Maggies witha few allure and mori lee thrown in.  

Seriously would love and help/suggestions!!!!!!  This is stressing me out!!

I wore Watters "Harmony."  Here are some of my professional photographer's shots from wedding day.  I think the detail shows up pretty well, depending on the lighting and angle.

I am wearing casablanca 1827. It has everything except the corset back. I am sure it could be added, but it might take away from the dress. Try it on with a long line corset bra. It will suck you in and flatter your shape.

Lace gowns are amazing, I'll be wearing one myself. It's a Pronovias dress, but I have no idea what the style number is! When I went looking I was absolutely obsessed with Watters dresses, they had a lot of lace options. I'd also look at Augusta Jones... he may be a little above price point, but I recently found a dress of his that rivals the one I chose for myself, and plan on having my neckline changed to look like this one. Good luck!

I am wearing Grace Lynette from Maggie Sottero. They just discontinued it, but it is probably still available in independent dress shops and I know it is available online! I love mine, it shines much brighter in person than it does in the picture!

I would check out Cassablanca, Allure, Maggie Sottero,
 St.Patrick is beautiful too you can maybe find some around your price range if you shop around.

I am going with the Maggie Sottero Lorie. I am doing away with the cap sleeves (they are detachable. I also didn't love the sash, so I am getting a different one. I think otherwise it meets your requirements. I too am very concerned about my tummy area and the corset back really flattened me out and I didn't feel squeezed to death! I know you said you had tried some other Maggie's. Maybe check this one out! I loved it when I ordered it- let's hope I feel the same in a few months when it comes in!!!

Two days later reply, I know, but my dress is Justin Alexander style 8557 (i believe) and it's all lace and in your price range.
