Show me your dress

cashkitty · January 2012

I got my dress this weekend! I don't have pictures of me in it yet, but http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_Transforming-Layered-Tulle-Fit-and-Flare-Gown-KP3135_Bridal-Gowns-Shop-By-Silhouette-Short

That's the link to my dress. I got it in ivory and without the belt. Honestly, the picture showing it from the back does it better justice but these pictures do nothing for how much i love it in person. It zips off to so I can have a shorter dress. I am crazy in love with this dress!

mck776 · January 2012

i go for my fitting tomorrow here it is!

smartlypretty · January 2012

Love it! That's so fun that it turns into a shorter dress!

Here's mine. I'm so in love.

But in a lighter ivory color. I didn't choose white b/c it was OMG WHITE and I'm super duper pale.

Aaaaaand here's a million pictures of real girls wearing it. (Currently obsessed with finding people wearing my dress).

I like it better on me than on the model! When it comes in I'll post a pic of me in it

smartlypretty · January 2012

@Aries- I LOVE how dramatic it is. We need to do this again when our dresses come in!

I dont have pics because I tried mine on in like a size 8 and LOVED it, but all they had was the really dark color so I went to another shop to try on that color. Well, it was like a 16 so I didn't take pictures. I was planning on going back to the previous store but this was offered me a free veil so i ordered there! So, no pics

the one I tried on was a size too small and it didnt fit over my big a$$ mommy hips, so the pics I do have in it, I dont like.... so im not sharing

<div>I literally laughed out loud. That's funny. I could not believe how HEAVY and HOT the dresses were. I have to give major props to you ladies who can handle all that weight and heat and still look fabulous. I would be a gross whiney mess lol</div>

<div>That's definitely something that I'm worried about. I'm also tiny (5 feet and 120 pounds) so it really is a huge dress on me. I don't know- I just love giant dresses so much. I knew I always wanted my dress to be a giant poofy freaking huge ballgown. I wouldn't wear anything else. I want to be a princess! :) </div>

smartlypretty · January 2012

Oh, I just wanted to share that the thing I apparently said the most during dress shopping was, "Do you really think it's big enough?" And everyone was like, "YES ITS HUGE"

Smartlypretty, we're dress twins! Except I ordered my victoriana in pearl rose.

smartlypretty · January 2012

WE ARE?????? OMG that's so exciting! I haven't met a dress twin yet! Okay great, I'm totally going to remember this and PM you to bug you about shoe/jewerly/bouquet/etc choices!

Wait, is that the color that is like a blush? That sounds really pretty- I'll look for a photo. I tried it on in the light gold , but that didn't look so great with my skin tone and neither did the white so I went with ivory.

jessa1228 · January 2012

I can't wait for my fittings!

kellycatalo · January 2012

it's jenny lee 1102... cannot wait to have it in my size!

bridezillatobe2009 · January 2012

maggie sottero Giselle. FINALLY after 6 long months of searching and 100+ dresses I decided and ordered on Sunday

mrsj922 · January 2012

It's from David's Bridal V3194. Ordering it on Friday!!

Yay! Haha! Yes, we are dress twins! That's hilarious! We definitely will have to share notes! What kind of veil did you get? And I LOVE big poofy ball gowns! It was so hard to decide on color! I was torn between the gold and the pink but ended up with the pink after seeing it next to the bridesmaid dress color we had picked out (cappuccino brown). I'm so excited to have a dress twin! Have you gotten anything else for it? Are you planning on getting a full slip? I'm actually going to get a three hoop slip to make sure it's big enough!

miichlmc · January 2012

everyone's dresses are SO pretty! i think this is my favorite post ever!

i just posted mine the other day, but here it is again! It's Maggie Sottero's Karena Royale. I know of one dress twin, so far!

BMcLeodTeam · January 2012

I am wearing my mother's dress, but my sister is completely changing it up. She's giving it a sweetheart neckline, strapless, backless, a black satin sash, black crinoline built in and we're debating a big of black beading in the bodice. The only pictures I have are of me trying it on in its complete original state as she was pinning it:

And then I have a reception dress so that I don't have to be paranoid about ruining my mother's dress during the drinking and partying later in the night hahaha. I ordered this dress, but white with a red sash:

Katiesue04 · January 2012

Me and the flower girls! My dress is a light ivory too, I couldn't do white because I am so pale, also the straps are my bra straps lol! These are my flower girl dresses I got for 38 dollars a piece!!!! They are a lot whiter but I figured the only time I would be standing next to my flower girls is for pictures or when we dance the night away. The color isn't too far off, and I am not willing to spend 400 dollars on two dresses they are going to wear once.

meagandal · January 2012

Here's a stock photo:

This is a close up of the top with me in it (this was an 8 and my boobs were no where near fitting so it looks distorted but you see the lace an sparkle detail)

and here she is in real life and on a manican that she fits. I still can't believe I tried on and fell in love with a dress that was 5 sizes too small in the sample

Mine won't be in until Jun or July! It's Pronovias and I am so in love with it!

Bridezilla2be: good choice!! yay
rseuferer: that was one of my favorites too! I think If I'd goen to AA before I accidently found my Perla I probably would have getten that Cinderella or the Snow White

cpasquale · January 2012

Here are pictures of me in the dress!!!

And here it is on the model. I think it looks scary considering she hasn't eaten in roughly 3 years..

Can't wait for my fittings! It will be nice to see it actually fit! I am a size 2 in the chest and 8 in the hips, so it does not fit at all on the top!!!

Sarah&Eric2012 · January 2012

I found mine on the clearance rack of the 4th store my mom and I went to. It is in pristine condition and I can't wait to start my fittings in May/June. I'm having the seamstress change the back to a corset back to give me a little more room since it's a size smaller than I am right now. My dress is more of a light ivory with stark white appliques and beading so all the details stand out more than the picture of the model below. I didn't get any pictures of myself it in. My best friend said that she wouldn't take pics because she didn't want to be responsible for them not getting out haha.

The back is my favorite part. It so dramatic and will complement the church we're getting married in perfectly. I feel like a princess in this dress.

I love seeing everyone's dresses, we are all going to be such gorgeous brides!!

Bridezilla - I'm glad you picked that one, it was my favorite and you look amazing!

<div>I ended up with a finger tip length veil. It has some beading around the edges that kind of looks like it matches the corset. What did you pick?</div><div>
</div><div>I just found a pic of the blush online- I think it's really pretty and will go well with brown BM dresses. My girls are wearing plum. </div><div>
</div><div>I LOVE the idea of a hoop slip. I haven't picked my slip yet- the store told me I can wait until the dress comes in and then try on a bunch of slips to see what I like the most. All I know is I want is sufficiently huge. </div><div>
</div><div>I haven't really gotten anything else yet. Here are the shoes I reallly want though:</div><div><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ivanka-trump-dermani-sandal-nordstrom-exclusive/3230772?origin=category&resultback=3836" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ivanka-trump-dermani-sandal-nordstrom-exclusive/3230772?origin=category&resultback=3836</a> </div><div>But I need to go to Nordstrom's to try them on to see if they are comfy and whatnot.</div><div>
</div><div>Have you gotten any shoes/jewerly yet? I'm so lost on jewerly- everyone who knows me knows I'm not a huge jewerly person. I don't even have pierced ears, but I'm willing to get them pierced if I decide I really need earings. My sister hinted that she might want to buy me my bridal jewerly- I really don't know at this point. Are you wearing anything on your head? My mom is trying to convince me to get some kind of headband type thing, but I"m thinking maybe a comb?</div><div>

mamameech · January 2012

I can't wait to get a pic of ME in it this weekend!!!

The train is chapel length, but you can't tell here with the way it's sitting behind me

Here's mine:

it's currently at my parents house until time for fittings...I'm actually suprised I haven't gone over to visit it yet

Clarustin2011 · January 2012

Everyones dresses are so pretty!!!

Here is mine on me:

And when it came in:

I didn't order from David's Bridal. I found a website like a Craiglist of wedding stuff. Recycledbride.com. Got my dress NWT for 60% off of DB price.
