PIP: Dress! I Bought One!

I pulled the trigger!  My mom is in town and we went shopping.  She and I both love it.   It was a little more than I wanted to spend, but I think it was worth it.  As some of you know, I've been losing weight.  I was told I could go down 3 sizes, so the little pooch will (hopefully) be less pronounced.Sorry if the pics come out huge.  But, I'm interested to know your opinions! :)

  • It's really pretty!  The train in the back is gorgeous!
  • It's a gorgeous dress! i would just make sure that they take the top in a little bit so the girls stay put and there isn't any gaping, but you look great!

    I looooooove the back of that! Its going to look fantastic on you!
  • I love the rouching (sp?) in the back. So pretty with the bubble hem! Once it's altered, it's going to be magnificent! Just make sure they keep your boobs supported. It's so pretty with your skin tone. I'm jealous you can wear white. I look like death on a cracker. Congrats! Yay new dress!  
  • Ah, thank God!  Bay and Coco - thank you!  I just breathed a sigh of relief.  It's nice to get the opinion of others who are objective! :)
  • Dang it! I hate when I can't see pics. I'll be sure to look when I get home tonight; I'm sure it is gorgeous!
  • You look great, and I really love the train.

  • You guys are seriously fabulous!!!  Thank you!  Bec - way to catch all those details.Yes, the dress I tried on was a little big and they will catch how big it is in the bust.  Thanks again all!
  • Georgia, the pics are in my bio as well - if you can access Weebly.
  • I love the neckline. Even though it's obviously a little loose on you right now, once it's altered it's going to be so flattering. Lovely!
  • Gorgeous! I also hate that you can wear white.  It is a stunning dress!
  • You look beautiful! Love the bling on the front of the dress.
  • Yay, congrats! AND it looks gorgeous with your smile!
  • Manda, Linz & Nicole - thank you! I can't tell you how much better I feel.   I love P&E!
  • Ah, you look great.  I love how happy you look.
  • Thank you buttaflai!
  • Gorgeous!!! I love the veil you had on in the bottom pic :) That dress is such a good choice for you. It looks like there's a slight bubble hem on the train, which I love right now. Congrats!
  • It looks kind of big. Im sure it will be beautiful when it fits you like a glove and its pressed.  The back is really pretty too, very flattering on your waist line.  I love roushing. (sp)
  • Is that a Mori Lee?  It is VERY similar to the dress I wore for my wedding.  This of course makes me partial to automatically LOVING the dress.  :)  I had the same problem with my dress, it was pretty big, but the detail in the top looks so flattering when the alterations are complete.  Great pick! If you'd like I'll email you pictures of my dress so you can see what all the detailing in that style look like completely altered.  (mine is not strapless, but everything else looks pretty identical with the crystals and all of that)  Stackeye210 at msn dot com
  • Can't access weebly either (I'm surprised I can even access this site from work, to be honest). I'll definitely check it out tonight!!
  • You look stunning! Where did you end up going shopping?
  • It is beautiful, cacoffer, and your mom looks awfully proud!  It is a lovely contrast against your skin tone - I love it!

    I love you Missy. Even though you are not smart enough to take online quizzes to find out really important information. ~cew
  • Thank you, so much all!  Stackeye - YGM!
  • I love bubble hems! They're so much fun. It looks beautiful on you. :) Is that an Allure gown? The back of it reminds me a lot of a dress that was one of my top contenders. Congrats on the gown purchase.

  • Yay!  That dress is going to be so gorgeous on you once it's fitted.  It's great to see you so excited and happy in your dress!
  • I love it, I love the back, and I especially love how the style of the dress really shows your waist. I always feel extra thin when I feel like my waist is defined.

  • It is stunning anf suits you perfectly! Did you already place an order?My shop suggested the 6 month mark was the latest to order, so I went back and got measured then, and then ordered a size down from that. If I had ordered when I first tried it on, it would already be 2 sizes too big for me!Keep up the awesome work! =)
  • Bomb, yeah I ordered it yesterday.  We ordered the dress a size smaller.  I was told they would perform the alterations about 10 weeks prior to the wedding date.  I can go down 3 sizes and still be okay. Thanks!
