AW- I finally picked a dress!

slubkin

Just thought I would share it with you all!  It took me 5 weeks and calls to over a dozen bridal shops to find a sample size I could fit into, but this will be my dress. 

*Note- the dress I tried on was Diamond white, but I'm ordering in Alabaster (Ivory) because it makes my skin tone look way less pink.

Maggie Sottero Ambrosia? Looks beautiful on you! I almost got the same dress, but it definitely looks better on you haha

Very pretty.  Especially in ivory.

Thanks ladies, and yes, it's Ambrosia.    That corset sure works wonders!

Ha! Ain't that the truth? I went with the Riviera, I think I'm too hippy to pull off the Ambrosia lol

Oh, very elegant!  I couldn't pull off the bow myself, but I love how it looks!

Thanks, when I first saw it on the rack I was all "no way would I wear a dress with a huge bow on it!" But my consultant convinced me to try it on and I am sooo glad she did.

Fabulous! I love the front of the skirt.

That's really pretty. It looks like it fits perfectly.

Thanks!  It took me forever to find a store that had a size 16 sample... It was actually a smidge too tight but I think that if I continue to lose weight the way I have so far this year, it will be more than fine by the time the dress comes in.

You don't look like a 16 at all! You look much smaller! And you look amazing in that dress- banging curves!

Ditto all of this

slubkin

Well shucks!  *sheepish grin*  thanks, Mara & Jengin! 

LessThanZero

You're a 16?? Doesn't look it at all, honestly. I agree with Mara, the curviness is awesome. That's a beautiful dress and it looks great on you. I like a lot of Maggie Sottero's dresses.

Congrats!  : )

NatesGirl16

You're a 16?!?!  I never would have believed that from your pic.  That dress looks beautiful on you and your waist looks awesome! 

TheCranberry

Congrats!  Very pretty.

slubkin

Thank you so much for all of the positive feedback!

/hugs everyone

dmiller9274

very pretty, you look great!

kpwedkk

Congratulations!  The dress is you, and I bet you will be absolutely stunning on your wedding day, because there'll be an Aisle 1 clean up crew needed, mop and bucket as your fiance is drooling all over the floor

JennaV26
