Let's see some dresses!

FiancB · February 2014

This board is way too dead for my liking!

I went in for my second fitting today. I wasn't going to add bra cups- it looked funny with them before- but now that the bodice has been taken in it does look better with them. Just a couple other tweaks, other than that I'm good to go!

(I'm a little worried that the ruching across my hips got a little messed up in the alteration process. Is it noticeable?)

Let's see 'em!

Beautiful dress! In all honesty I would ask them about the ruching, it kinda throws it off but it's gorgeous

Here's mine, biggest regret is I let them talk me into a size 4, shoulda stuck with a 6. Gotta work my butt off the next month before I go for my first fitting.

(First photo is the size 4, the other one is the size 6)

Beautiful ladies! I actually just got a phone call today that my dress is in and ready to be picked up! So excited. But here are pics from when I first fell in love with it

Drewsgirl31 · February 2014

So pretty!!! I love the designs on the bodice!

CheleLyn · February 2014

Wasn't on my list to try on, but since the consultant insisted, I said what the hell. Turns out, I love it LOL. Chiffon with a chapel length train. Can NOT wait to wear it

Well did you want to lose a little weight? If so, than I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's a good thing that you got the dress in a 4 because it's just motivation to kick some butt before the big day! Either way, I think you look great

I mean I wouldn't be upset if I lost 10 lbs lol actually I need to because I am overweight for my size but ever since I was put on the mirena, I can't lose anything to save my life lol I've been working out 4 days a week and eating better for 3 weeks and nothings changed
And thank you!

Hi I'm new to the board

Your dresses are all really pretty.. teetee143xo I love that full skirt. Gives me second thoughts!
Anyways, here goes..

teetee143xo · February 2014

Hi @lakreuz1! Welcome

It's funny because at first, I didn't think I was a poofy, ball gown kinda girl, but when I put it on, it was just absolutely amazing and I fell in love. I absolutely love your dress though and the matching belt goes so perfect with the pattern! When is your wedding?

lakreuz1 · February 2014

Thank you! When the girl helping us was walking toward me with the sash I was thinking 'no no no!' But when she put it on I loved it. Made the dress. June 27 is our date, it's a Friday

cirena166 · February 2014

@lakreuz1 Question on your user name - does it include your last name? My maiden name was Kreuz, and it's not very common.

thefuturemrssisk · February 2014

All of these dresses are gorgeous! @FiancB I didn't notice the ruching until you mentioned it, but if it bothers you, you should definitely ask about it. Here's mine:

(It's not a very good picture, but my MOH was too excited and couldn't really hold the camera still!)

And it won't have the ridiculously long ribbon hanging down the back when I go in for my fitting.

melbelleup · February 2014

Okay, I'm lame and don't actually have a picture handy of my dress, but here's the link on the site: http://www.alfredangelo.com/Collections/Plus-Size-Bridal/1153W/?pg=1

It's nice and poofy, almost too poofy for me but I wanted a very traditional dress. I love all your dresses

cirena166 · March 2014

The dress in it's current state:

The back:

The front when I'm done with it (concept, warning: bad/lazy photoshop):

muenginerd · March 2014

The dress during alterations. The top was unlaced so it will actually be much more fitted and we are adding a belt the same color as the underlayer.

ShellD13 · April 2014

I don't have a picture of me in it but here is my dress.

My FMIL is doing my alterations and we are planning to add a band of beaded lace around the bottom of the ruching at the waist/hips. I can't wait to try it on again once she finishes that detail :-)

melbenso · April 2014

Here's mine. First fitting is this week, so these are the pics from when I picked out the dress.

jalyndani · April 2014

Beautiful ladies and dresses!

@melbenso, when I first started shopping, I found a dress very similar to yours that I LOVED online. But when I tried it on, I had to admit that I have too short of a torso for the cap sleeves - all that extra lace in the shoulders was all bunched up and made me look like a football player, so I had to move on to another idea. Then I found MY dress!

These pictures are from several months ago (one from March, one from December)....I've lost 20 pounds since they were taken. I'm so excited that I get to exchange my dress for a smaller size when I have my first fitting next weekend!

ShellD13 · April 2014

My FMIL finished attaching the lace to my dress - I tried it on last night - I LOVE it! And I'm so thrilled that the whole thing only cost $120.

mcgarci2 · April 2014

I'm late to the party, but here is my dress at my initial fitting. It needs some serious hemming since I'm so short and a few other minor alterations. I love it!

CDC23 · April 2014

This is before any alterations. I can't wait for it to fit me like a glove!

wabanzi · May 2014

So I know it seems late, but my first fitting is today. I haven't seen my dress in over 15 months. I'm excited and nervous. I need to post some pics to get all your opinions afterwards (not sure of my earrings or the addition of cap sleeves).

wabanzi · May 2014

OK--So I think I am going with the cap sleeves (which means not wearing my pearl statement necklace I slaved over making--oh well).

Wattayathink?

Here it is without the cap sleeves--taken the day I bought it over 15 months ago. Not the write necklace, but the chunkier size worked with the no sleeves I thought.

melbenso · May 2014

I love the sleeves, but I have a cap sleeve dress, so I might be partial.

I love your dress. Part of the reason why I wanted to add sleeves to mine!

I love the sleeves on that dress too!

The dress after final alterations...

melbenso · May 2014

@muenginerd - It's beautiful. I love the lace detailing.
