FINALLY! Long awaited pics of me in my dress!

DeadUtopia · March 2012

I hated the original sash that it came with, so I bought an awesome one off of Etsy that I had been obsessed with for forever! I don't have a crinoline on in these pics, so the dress is supposed to be a bit poofier, and I just noticed that one of the fabric folds in the ruching wasn't folded the right way, but you get the idea! Even wrinkly and straight out of the box, I don't think it looks too bad!

When it first came in, I had crazy second thoughts and was so stressed, but I think I'm digging it. I'm still not crazy about where the drop waist hits (right under the baby pooch) but I'm working on that!

I bought these shoes in black to go with it. I know they're not "bridal" per-se, but I love them and I know I'll use them after the wedding!

Feel free to use this thread to post pics of your dresses! Since I've been super busy and MIA, I know I've missed dress threads and I wanna see dresses!

LOOOVE it on you! And I see no baby pooch!!!

Question: Was the sash attached to your dress or was it just the type that you untie?

I love it. It looks cute and the black glitter shoes look adorable!

We cut the thread and just tied this one on. There were some threads still in the fabric from the original sash, but I didnt have my sewing kit with me to get them all out without snagging the fabric.

So you decided to remove the whole thing? I liked the flower minus the hanging ribbon part! :)

smartlypretty · March 2012

So cute! And I love the sash and shoes!

I really wish I had a picture of me in my dress. My mom was supposed to be taking pictures of me, but she actually took videos

Maybe it'll come in soon lol.

DeadUtopia · March 2012

This was the original sash, (and a completely ill laced corset because FI didn't know how to do it lol)

<div>If it's removable yes. lol If not, then I'll take it as a sign of God and just remove the hanging ribbons. I don't know... hahaha I like your new sash better too!</div>

jessa1228 · March 2012

I definitely like the new sash better. You look great!

SCogs18 · March 2012

Oh god, the first sash was awful! The new one us much much better! You look absolutely beautiful! I'm glad this is the one you chose, I think it is very flattering (I see no pooch!).

Laur110 · March 2012

So pretty, love the new sash!

MrsBassPlaya · March 2012

Love the dress! You look incredible in it. Incentive to lose the last of the pooch, but even if you didn't you still look great! The new sash is 100x better than the old one, btw.
