AW: I brought her home today! PIP

I picked up my dress today!!  I am so excited.  The first 3 pics below are from when I tried it on before I placed the order.  I was in my bare feet that day. I had to order extra length because I'm wearing 4 inch heels. I tried my gown on today with the heels and the length is perfect! I also got a fingertip veil with scattered pearls.

So, I've lost about 10 lbs since the original pics were taken and my gown doesn't have the same fit.  The last pic is from today (the dress is falling down... lol!!). My poor boobs have shrunk!.... but I have a master seamstress, so I know she'll give me that hourglass look back. Has anyone come across a good backless (or low back), strapless push up bra??

Dress and veil.... CHECK!

    Thanks Ladies!  This is all so exciting!!  You would never think that I'm an encore bride.  I don't like to compare my past with my present, so I am approaching this wedding and marriage like the first one never existed.  I will be a 45-year old recycled bride... wearing white!!  I love it!

    @chayb87... yes, I love this dress!!  I drove from Maryland to Delaware just to try her on because my local store didn't have one.  It was worth it.  And.... I got it tax free!!  Lol!

    I bought one (bra/bustier) from Dillard's for like 45.00 it makes all the difference in a strapless dress and it is low back. It's so funny I bought two one cheaper and the 45.00 one. Tried on the same dress with both bras and had FI look at pictures of it. He immediately said I like the other dress that sits you up higher and fits better. The brand is Cassandra intimates.

    Your dress is goregous!
