couple of picutres...

[nytemist]

Of my dress!
Now, I know this is not most peoples'' idea of a wedding dress and would find it odd.
I know that the picts are pretty bad since it''s with a disposable camera (haven''t advenced to a digital camer yet, can''t afford one)
The color is washed it; it''s a richer lilac than what you see here.
And I know I''ve put on weight. i''m about 10lbs heavier than when I was measured in Feb. (stress) Once my weight goes back down, it will look better.

I''m the resident oddball, but here it goes:

Al allong the top and bottom of the bodice there are tiny rhinestones. I''m also getting a crinoline underskirt for it.

Just thought I would share. I''m so thrilled!

 

[ammayernyc]

It looks fantastic!

 

[SoonIHope]

OOOOOHHHHHHH I LOOOOVE IT!!!!!!!

It''s so unique and YOU but not as un-wedding-dress as I thought it might be! It''s absolutely perfect for you!!!!!!!

I can''t wait to see pictures of your wedding in just a couple months!!!!!!

 

[FacetFire]

Oh...I like it! It actually strikes me as a great wedding dress. I love the color on you!

 

[nytemist]

Thank you very much! I was kind of concerned about how it would turn out because of the language barrier and the size of the girls, but it''s just what I wanted. I LOVE how the lacing was done, I was expecting them to do the ribbon lacing but this is even better.

Now I just have to get started on my veil.

 

[lilmaria]

It''s beautiful!!!! I love the back detail...I wonder if we can photoshop it to the right purple shade so we can see your dress!!! Congrats girl!

 

[BrightSpot]

Oh, it''s beautiful (and more traditional than I expected!

) I love the gauzy train & the shape is perfect! It looks stunning on you! What kind of veil are you wearing?

 

[Chi]

nytemist - you look FAB in YOUR DRESS...it really suits you the colour looks great on you

 

[FireGoddess]

Very cool! I think the lilac is awesome. It''s different, but SO not as un-bridelike as I thought it could get! It looks beautiful.

 

[amyg]

I love it!!! And I think it very wedding dress-ish...it''s perfect for you and I thin it looks great on you!! Very complimentary!!

 

[AmberWaves]

Its really beautiful and I think that its perfect for a wedding

 

[nytemist]

I''m very happy you guys like it! I''m hoping it goes over well with my older relatives when they see it. I have aunt who is coming that loves the idea of a non-white wedding dress.

It''s not that I had any issue with a traditional form or shape or style, I just wanted a different color. In the past few years more desingers are offering other colors, but definitely not in my budget. Trust me, NO ONE could see me wearing white. I''m one of the night children from the eighties who was always in dark colors. Doing something like getting married is out of character enough for me!

Brightspot- I''m making my own veil. My BM who made the bouquets had some material that is almost the same shade, so I''m attaching it to a simple comb to tuck into my hair.

 

[nytemist]

It''s made of satin, the train is organza and the veil will be chiffon. I couldn''t find any bridal netting in the right shade for the veil.

 

[saturn]

It''s very pretty, and it looks great on you. Congratulations!

 

[robbie3982]

it''s gorgeous! I love it!

 

[Selkie]

Wow, I love it! The color and the fit are very flattering!

 

[AndyRosse]

Oh it''s gorgeous!!!!

You had me prepared to see something very, very strange with your post LOL!

 

[chickflick]

It is different but still quite bridal- perfect for you!! It suits you so well and it''s just lovely. Great choice!

 

[Gypsy]

It's lovely! Bridal with a twist. Which really works. The train is just beautiful too... and although it's a bit hard to make out-- the organza looks shimmery and etheral from the pics which I just love.

Can't wait for professional pics that really do justice to the color. CONGRATS!

 

[nytemist]

You have no idea how thrilled I am that you all like it! I was kind of worried that if it didn''t go over well here, it wouldn''t at the wedding. I''m happy I went with having one made instead of buying one from a shop that wasn''t 100% me. I''m going to the shop tomorrow with one of my BM''s and she is going to bring her digital so I can get better pictures.

In between doing dresses for prom season and doing replicas of couture wedding dresses, they had my dress done in a month and a half.

 

[ky6]

I think it is beautiful. I love the sweetheart neckline and wish we could see the rhinestone detailing. I think the fit it very flattering and I think it looks like a perfect wedding dress for you. I love that train too!

 

[nytemist]

Had the FINAL fitting on Saturday and I got to bring it home yesterday. I''m going to keep it at my BM''s house so it doens''t get dirty or damaged in the mayhem of me packing and moving to my fiance''s place. My other BM took these with her digital, so you can see the color better. She does have others that show more detail and I''ll post thos when I can, but now you can get an idea of how gorgeous the color is.

Please excuse the body briefers in the background and the amount of weight I''ve gained the past few months...

 

[ammayernyc]

You look stunning!

 

[KimberlyH]

The dress is beautiful, it looks great on you and the color is fabulous! Great that you found a dress that shows your personality.

 

[nytemist]

KimberlyH, I actually had th dress made for me. That was the only way to have the kind of wedding dress I wanted.

 

[SoonIHope]

Oooooh, that color really is spectacular!!!

And it looks sooo perfect on you!!!!! So excited for you!!!!!

 

[rms]

wow, you look fantastic. I LOVE the dress, and I think it is very bridal looking, and the color is fabulous! I can''t wait to see your veil combined with it.
