Hi All!
I dont know why I cant find what I want bc I know I have seen it before but now that it has come time for me to actually need a wedding dress I cant find it! I have a tattoo on my upper back between my shoulder blades and I wand to cover it so the dress needs to have a full back. I would prefer it to have short sleeves or a cap sleeve as I want to wear a real bra bc I am very well endowed on top and I want to DANCE on my day. I would love the dress to either be lace or eyelet cotton but with a liner so I can cover that tat. I dont want too poufy a skirt as I am not one of those princess for a day type brides, I am much more casual. If the dress had pockets I would be even more in love but if it doesnt that is ok. Any skirt style is ok as long as its not overly poufy. And any fabric is ok I would just prefer the eyelet or lace. My main thing is I want my back covered and I want it to be part of the dress not a shrug or shawl. Thank you!

Get it custom made? That is what I did and I LOVE my dress.

No dress makers close to my tiny town. The closest is three hours away. And combining the cost of the dress with the gas to go back and forth there is more then I can afford.

What about adding a bolero jacket to a gown with straps? It would be much easier than looking for a gown that has all that.

The main thing Im looking for in a dress is with short sleeves and a covered back the rest doesnt matter as much.

I don't know what your price range is, but my cousin wore Priscilla style Nora to her wedding. It's lace, has a keyhole back (the clasp in the back may cover your tattoo well, but if it doesn't you could have them alter it a bit in case it doesn't) and is a pretty straight style. I

When you go dress shopping, ask if they have any dresses that are Temple ready or could be made so. I'm not LDS, but I have a lot of friends who are. For them to marry in their temple the dress has to have cap sleeves and a back, so that's probably your best bet.

I'd also suggest a bolero... or not sure if any of these would work...

This would be stunning with a bolero- http://www.priscillaofboston.com/dress_detail.jsp?gid=1&sfid=50803&f1=Scoop&f1=Tank&f1=Sleeve/Cap%20Sleeve

Ditto on the bolero though. That is probably your best bet short of custom alterations or modesty dresses. GL

Oh, check out- http://www.totallymodest.com

They seem to have tons, and some are really pretty!

Try the Dolly Couture website.  There is a few with cap sleeves and full backs.  You would probably be able to customize the length if you are not interested in short dresses.  I fought the same problem.  I ended up with a mia solana Mz1061z.  I love it so much.

I really like the ones at totally modest. They are so pretty, will probably get on there and just get the neckline altered a little bit.
