Picked Up My Dress!!

teewii37

I got it from DB today! I love it!  I got the funny feeling again when I tried it on! The oooey gooey feeling, lol

I need to get cups added into it, because the back is a V and it shows my bra - and I might get it hemmed a tiny bit in the front, I want some advice on if I should get it hemmed or leave it??

The dress is "made for a 5'8'' bride" and it hits the DB model a little shorter than it does me.

With white shoes:



 (This is the first day I saw it)

---This time, I brought some red shoes, to see how it looked with colored shoes.  Mine will ultimately be pink (but I didn't have any to try it on with)

Here's today's pictures (MY DRESS, not the sample)









I am so happy with it.  I know it's not the cookie-cutter bridal gown, by any means- but it fits my personality to the T.

My wedding will be in May - in Arizona (SUPER hot lol) so it'll be great to wear at my outdoor ceremony my wedding colors are hot pink & lime green!

I love it... I think it would like great either hemmed or not.  If it were me I'd have it hemmed just a bit to make it more of a tea length gown.  Congrats it's beautiful!

Very pretty!

I agree about the hemming, maybe make it all one length or you could just leave it as it if you like it that way.

Thanks for the advice- I do like the high-low gowns, I was thinking of hemming the front about an inch or so to elongate me- but I love the back, it's got a pretty little train and it kind of "floats" when I walk.

I still think it could use a little hemming in front, just to elongate you a bit and also bring some focus onto your shoes. Looks great, though, either way!

I don't think you need to hem it, I like the way it looks as is.
