Hi Ladies,
After the terrible dress situation (internet rip off) I promptly went out and bought another dress, took it to the seamstress and never got pics of me in the dress until today at my second fitting. I didn't want a long train so she created a sweep by making a beautiful bustle at the very bottom of the dress, she refused to cut off the train. Good call. It's gorgeous with the sweep but can still wear the train down for the ceremony if I decide to do so.
I tried my hair down and up and I decided on up after seeing the pics, let me know what you think.
I know these are small but you can see the shape.
The bodice has a blinged up band.
I was holding the mirrors they kept swinging closed on me. This is the shap with the sweep bustle.
I only had one clip to put up my hair.. the hair would not be on my neck, I was just trying to get an idea of what it looked like up in the dress and I like it better up.
Bustle from the side.
