Saw my actual dress yesterday! Links to pics.

My dress finally came in, and I got to try it on for the first time!  The top is huge on the boobs - so I look awkward as I'm trying to hold it down with my armpits.  I hope it lays flat enough once it's tailored.

And here is the bottom!  Which I am cutting off but still, it shows the lace detail.

Just needed to share my happiness!  It's Maggie Sottero Presca, in ivory over gold satin (it does not look gold at all).  I'm shocked at how much of my belly it truly hides.  I feel awesome in it (just can't sit down comfortably).

Thank you!!!!  I'm really happy because I am a street 16 - I look much more slender in this dress than I really am, at least I think so.  It's going to be amazing to get to wear this for my fiancee.

The lace is beautiful! I'm sure they can tailor it to fit you like a glove!

I love the lace.

I know - I can't believe how beautiful the lace work is on this.  It was the first dress I tried on at the first shop, and the last at the sixth shop and then I knew for sure.
