AW: I found my dress! (PIP)

We haven't officially ordered it yet, but I know it's the one. I feel so beautiful (and skinny) in the dress and it's exactly what I always pictured. Very bridal and traditional, but fun at the same time! :) 

We went to Alexia's and I was so pleased with our experience. I had heard lots of mixed reviews...from people loving them to the opposite, but luckily I had a great experience!

Any other brides actually gotten their dress from Alexia's? 

Here's a few pics of the dress: Reem Acra Orchid



I'm not wearing a bolero or anything like shown in the pictures (and please ignore the scary model). We're also altering the back to be a lower v. We're having it come without the taupe belt attached and for the ceremony, I'll wear the Vera Wang Audrey belt and for the reception I'll change into a black sash! I'm so excited! It's a much better price than the first dress I was looking at!

    Hey Kelsey--that's beautiful.  This is funny--I got  a Reem Acra from a trunk show at Alexia's last year.  They mentioned your dress to me as a possibility, but they didn't have it since it was brand new at the time.  I'm doing the opposite of what you are: raising the back, since I'm a bit too old to be going with a lowered backline.  They've been so helpful and accommodating.  I saw your other post, too.  I ordered the veil that went with the dress, since it has crystals and pearls on it.  Since it's short and since my train is only a sweep, I think I may get a chapel length veil, but I'll probably just get it there as well, since that will be easier. 

    Hope that helps.  Barbara

    So glad you found your dress at Alexia's. I bought my Vera Wang dress at their trunk show earlier this month and everyone there was great. I think it was worth the drive.
