My dress!

Elinetrouwt

So, I already posted a sample picture in the dress thread, but I feel my dress wants a bragging thread of her own

 

 

 

We went shopping this Wednesday, and found it in the first salon we went to. But my mom wanted to compare a lot, so we went to four shops in total, two of which were selfservice, off the rack shops. I really liked fitting all those dresses, but I'm glad it was a one time experience. 

 

And I really love my dress! I was adamant on no straps or train, and here we are... I am glad we hired a professional photographer though, because the ipad doesn't do the dress much justice It has lots of beautiful lace, but you don't see that here.

Can you post the pic again??  Click 'Edit' under your ticker near the Private Message button.  Then in the text box click on the little tree next to the color font and the Spell Check (which is next to the smiley face).

That should work!! If it doesn't you may need to make the picture smaller!

Can't wait to see it!!

Congratulations! I agree, trying on dresses is fun!

I posted it again, if you still can't see it, here it is on a model:

That's a knock off site, because the real site is in flash and the links don't work

I was getting mad that I couldn't get the picture to show then I saw your link- whew!!

It's beautiful!!!! Did you post a picture of you in the dress??

Did you get it from the Wedding Shoppe in St. Paul?

Ooh it's gorgeous! It just looks like it would be so fun to wear. Are you the one doing the reception at the castle? It looks like it would fit in with that setting perfectly!

It's beautiful!  I thought your mom was planning on making your dress, though...?

<div>Fun but complicated :) Yes, it will be in a sort of castle, although it's more like a big estate house. But it's funny, it's one of the first things my mom said too, that it would fit there so much better than the simpler ones I liked before.</div><div>
</div><div>And yes, my mom was going to make my dress, but she wanted me to look in shops first to see what style we liked. And she told me she could never make one like this, because the bustier is too complicated. I would have loved it if she had made my dress! But I think she is glad, because I could feel that she did not feel quite like she could do it (although I'm sure she'd have made something beautiful).</div>

Gorgeous!  Congrats!  I hope you can post your pic when you get home!

I think I might have saw this dress in a blog - I'm trying to find the link...

ginadog

Nevermind!  It does have a similar skirt - which is what I remembered!
