Thinking about getting one done...

They are a little on the pricey side... but I LOVE the idea.  What do you think?

I'm figuring... it would look awesome in my closet/dressing room thing... and sort of be the next best thing to wearing my dress again.

I do have tons of pics... but... it's so dang awesome looking.  I am fighting the urge.

I kinda like the idea too!  Pictures never really get a good shot of the full dress and all of it's details.  Plus it is a nice thing to have if you plan to get rid of your dress and not keep it.  But...it is a little pricey at $100.

That is so awesome!  I love the idea, what a great picture to have.  But $100, ouch.  I think I'd pay $50, although if they drew every single bead on my corset, maybe it'd be worth $100.  Let us know if you order!

I would totally get this! A great keepsake that I would love to see everyday. And it's so unique.

Oooh, I kinda love it too.  I'd be torn too because of the price.  I've never seen anything like it though and it is so cool!!

I emailed one of them to ask about the "before" photos. That's REALLY important before you purchase one. The sketches look great, and of course they are an artist's interpretation of the dress so won't be exact, but if they look nothing like the dress they were drawing, what's the point?

Here are the ones she put up:

OMG I want one. I want one for a 1st anniversary present. Or for a wedding gift in general.
