Not sure if some of you remember- but I saw my first fav dress on Bridezilla.. well it was just a blessing that I did because I went to another Bridal shop and I am going back to buy my dress on Saturday!!I went to Alterations and Creations on Armenia in Tampa and they were great!! They had a nice selection of dresses in all different price ranges and they were very patient and not pushy! My dress looks a little too elaborate on the model but I love the way it looks on me.. I will take some more (better) pictures with me in the dress this weekend! http://www.marysbridal.com/bridal/5712.htmand in case you didnt notice- I was finally able to figure out how to put a picture and a link in my signature.. yeah for having patience

    Thanks ladies- You are so right that she is to tiny for a big dress like this! It looks much better on a curvy girl like me-haha!! I don't mind you asking Nicole- I am buying it Saturday for 790 with alterations included!! It was originally 850 but they gave a discount because I saw them at a bridal show, and they included all alterations for the same reason. They will do bustle and everything included! I called a few other dress shops to see how much they would charge for the dress and their prices were higher without alterations. I didn't plan on spending this much on a dress (yes- I am cheap) but I just couldnt pass it up!   I love your dress too!!

    Thanks Nicole-your sweet! P.s. to everyone else on the board- Nicole and I went to HS together and have been somewhat reunited by wedding planning!! We did pick a venue- check out my blog in my siggy- there is pictures-but it is at cross creek ranch on wheeler rd. in Dover. It wasnt what I thought I wanted but as soon as I went to look at it I feel in LOVE!! Bonnie is the owner of the ranch and she has been great to work with- and she does EVERYTHING- she has arranged my food and cake tastings, meetings with DJ and I have an wedding coordinator on site!! On wedding day- I don't have to do anything but show up and be ready- and that was exactly what I wanted!! seems that you are having problems at RP?? Is everything working out ok??

    First, I LOVE your dress!  I looked at that one myself but never tried it on. Second, thank goodness I'm not the only one that doesn't know how to post a pic.  Since you figured it out, do you mind sharing how?

    Thank you ladies!! DiamondGrrl- I found instructions on how to do it on the DIY board- I think the post was titled- how do I do this.. check it out and ask me if you have a question. It took me a little while to figure it out, but it works. Neko-Thanks for the comments!! I got the dress at Alterations and Creations and I love them. If you don't have a dress yet- I highly recommend you try there. They have dresses in every price range and they are great quality, and they look amazing. Good Luck finding a dress!

    What a beautiful dress! I hope we get to see pics of you in it?! I agree that it def makes the model look overwhelmed in it, like the dress is wearing her, not the other way around. Make sense? And Im shocked at the great price point! I honestly thought it would be AT LEAST twice that! Cant wait to hear more!!
