The Dress -- PIP

sld0618 · February 2011

Here are my pictures!!! When I went to go pick it up, I found out they don't know where my veil or my hair comb is that I ordered. So it's either they didn't order it, or it's misplaced. I'm hoping they didn't order it because then I'm going to cancel the hair comb and save $100. I don't think I really need it and I could probably make something close to it. So here are the pictures--obviously no veil, haha, I'll find out tomorrow if it was actually ordered or not. Sorry about looking so tired, I had a really rough week between my 2 jobs and school

I tried it on again today, I love wearing it! It feels just so perfect. Is it bad if I'm thinking about going to an alterations lady now to get it bustled so that I can wear it around the house without getting the train dirty? haha! I don't think I need to get anything else done. I don't think it would be worth the money to get the length up just a tiny bit. I was walking around today without trouble being barefoot like I will on the beach. It will be perfect length with some flip flops for the AHR I think. My mom says I should get half of the back panel taken out to show some skin, but I don't know about that...

The back:

Beautiful!!! I love the neckline and details on it. I also agree with leaving the back the way it is. Love it!!

Aw thanks girls! It will look a lot better after it's been steamed! I took it straight from the box. I flip video'ed the way that they packaged it. It was inside out, folded into thirds vertical, folded the train up (like dress in half horizontal), then folded into thirds horizontally again. It makes the dress quite small!

Yayeee, your dress is GORGEOUS!!! Well worth the wait.

I'm soooo happy this worked out for you!! Don't you love a great start to the week?

Do you have the video posted anywhere... I'd love to see how they have the dress folded in case I end up going with a suitcase or something?

I'm going to try to post it in the next couple of weeks. I probably need to edit it because my mom and I were be dumb dumbs and messing around, haha! I was holding up the Maggie cert and stuff :) I'll def post a thread when I put it in my bio :) You won't believe how small it can really get! I'm going to keep it hanging and let out the creases until the morning before we leave. Then I'll fold it into my carry on suitcase and then i'll let it out again when we get there. I'm bringing a mini steamer for when I get there for everyone's stuff.
