Gypsy- thanks! it''s reem acra''s ''enchanting''

I didn''t know that had a corset back. But that definitely explains that opulent amazing embroidery. Yum!

actually it''s not a corset back. it''s probabaly an illusion because it was just pinned all the way down the back of the bodice so that it can be taken in.

Pardon the language.

But... HOLY CRAP that looks fabulous! And that bustle!! (The double french. Definitely. The other is just boring and wrong in comparison)

WAY agree with Gypsy here. The double seems like the only perfect choice.

OH wow!! You gown is gorgeous. Absolutely to die for. I think that people''s jaws will actually drop when they see you come down the aisle. I actually REALLY like the traditional bustle on that dress. I think it shows off its gorgeous simplicity..The french bustle is gorgeous too.. but perhaps a bit over the top.. and trendy?

 

[FireGoddess]

You look gorgeous in that dress...and for sure, the double french all the way!

good to hear!!! i want that jawdroptothefloor sound from every guest!

 

[anchor31]

I like the traditional bustle too. The one with side bustle looks very pretty! I''m not one for big pouffy looks, so the double french bustle looks over-the-top to me. But that''s just me.

You look fabulous in that dress!!

JCrow-

That dress is just to die for- you are going to look gorgeous!!! And the double french is the way to go. Period.

 

[jcrow]

awe, thanks so much! it''s such a relief that this decision part is over! I am so happy I chose this one!

 

[Scintillating]

J - you definitely picked the right one. It IS absolutely enchanting on you!
I love how the fabric just glows!
If the traditional is really heavy ya gotta go with the double french bustle, though they both look beautiful.

Scintillating....

 

[NovemberBride]

Your dress is absolutely gorgeous! I definitely vote for the double french bustle on that exquisite dress.

I just got engaged and haven''t started dress shopping yet, but I absolutely love Reem Acra.

 

[jcrow]

Scintillating- yeh the fabric definitely did something to me. i fell in love with it for sure!!! that''s what ultimately made my decision- that yummy fabric!

 

[gingerBcookie]

i love it jcrow! it looks fab! both bustles look great, but i think i''m gonna vote for the double french

 

[jcrow]

thanks ging!
i think i am leaning that way too!

 

[bobacha]

B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L !! Another vote here for the double french

And it fits you well!
I just love bridal gowns ..

 

[jcrow]

hope no one minds... i had my second fitting a few weekends ago and i''d like to share the pics

here''s a close up of the train.

 

[jcrow]

and my VEIL!! yipee! sorry the pic is so crappy. AND don''t pay attention to the dress- it''s the sample size and not really pinned to well at all!

the veil is one tier and is 18" longer than my train. it''s plain with nothing on it, not even side trim.

 

[jcrow]

urgh! that was such a bad pic!! that darn dress is freaking falling of of me!

anyway... here''s a shot of the front. i was practicing holding my bouquet down and NOT up like a mic

 

[dani13]

Gosh, JCrow, you look beautiful! That dress fits you perfectly.
You are going to be one gorgeous bride!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mara]

jcrow the dress is just divine on you....i love the double french bustle as well!!

 

[Gypsy]

Everytime I see you in this dress I want to forget about the plumbing and go to see Reem''s. I swear. The woman should pay you. Your groom is going to need oxygen standing by.

 

[upgrading mama]

I don''t normally hang in the bride threads but nice to see gowns!!

this one is absolutely gorgeous and I would absolutely, 100% without question, double french bustle.

the traditional bustle just looks really wide and flat on your behind.

 

[jcrow]

Gypsy- ha! i totally read that outloud to FI! he was like PLEASE let me see?
i said- um- no! followed by well, sure honey, nov. 18!

 

[Gypsy]

LOL! Make sure you tell your photographer to get pics of his face the moment he sees you. I want to see those pics!

It''s funny. I''m so excited for you!

 

[flutterby]

we will never mind seeing such gorgeous pics of such a pretty dress. you must be so excited, that gown is to die for!

 

[jcrow]

awe, thanks msflutter!

i have more of the bustle but i just haven''t gotten the nerve to post them.

 

[moremoremore]

the fit on the dress is fabulous. it really looks beautiful on you!

 

[Scintillating]

The dress looks beautiful J.
Are you going to blur out your wedding pics and bridals on us?
I hope not.

I don''t "know" you and I''m so excited to see pictures of your fabulous wedding, after having seen all the planning pics (oak alley etc.) So exciting, it''s going to be a beautiful day!

Scintillating...

 

[MrzNeicia]

i don''t know. i''ve been debating this for a while. there''s no turning back once the pics go up all exposed. and there goes being somewhat anonymous.
