2nd fitting, pics of my new dress!

[anniee19]

I wrote in an earlier post that when my dress came in, I was disappointed with the way the top fit and looked on me. I called the salon and they agreed to take it back on a trade, for a sample dress. They happened to have one I loved in my size when we orignally looked, the Casablanca 1900. I ended up paying more, but it feels so much more comfortable on me.
I had my second fitting yesterday, and had my mom take some pics to share. I''ll also post my old dress, which I loved on the rack and manequin, but not so much on me.

The original dress:

And my new one! I had the seamstress add cap sleeves for some more support, and I think they look great with the dress! It is in ivory, which I haven''t seen before except on my dress- usually stores only have it in the champagne color.

The back, with it pinned up for the bustle.

Anniee, you can see your excitement in your face from the first dress to the second! That will show in your confidence and pictures. I''m glad you are happier and you look fab-o!

You look so much happier in the new dress-it''s beautiful and I love the cap sleeves.

I love the second dress on you. It looks way better.

You look gorgeous!!! Your dress has such a romantic feel to it...I love it!

Wow, I was totally not expecting to see a change in dress style when I started reading your thread. I really do like the second dress better on you and from the looks of that big smile you are sporting, you seem very pleased with your decision.

 

[akmiss]

You look fantastic! I love the second dress too

 

[jstarfireb]

Wow, such different styles! I wasn''t expecting that! While the first dress is more of my personal style preference, you look great in both, and you look much happier in the 2nd. I love the cap sleeves!

[VRBeauty]

Oh my, what a difference! Your new dress is so flattering -- I''m glad you were able to work something out with the store. And the smile you''re wearing in that second picture is a vast improvement over the first. Hooray for finding the perfect dress for you!

 

[SparklyLibra]

FAB-U-LOUS!!!

The second one lights up your smile soooo much more! It''s perfect for you!

 

[anniee19]

Thank you all for such sweet comments! I feel a million times better in my new dress, and I can''t wait to wear it... only 3 weeks until our wedding!

 

[pocahontas]

Yep, ditto everyone''s comments so far! The second dress highlights your fabulous figure so much better and you look absolutely radiant in it! I''m glad you found something that makes you happy; this will definitely show through in your pictures!

 

[honey22]

Anniee, I am so happy that you are loving your new dress. Sometimes you just know when something is meant to be!

 

[HopeDream]

Oh Anniee19,

Your second dress makes you look so delicate and joyful!

Your first dress was nice too, but in a different way - like the powersuit of wedding dresses - a little too "Wonder Woman"

Your second dress is so feminine and says "Sweep me off my feet"

I like it much better on you. *swoon*

Congrats on finding the perfect dress!
