Got a new dress

[Faerievert]

I ordered a new dress today! Many of you know about my red one, but I''ve decided against wearing it (WAY too formal for the wedding I ended up planning). I''m trying to sell it if anyone''s interested, because I had to pay for this new beauty myself and I need to recover the cost. Anyway, don''t ya just love it?! It''s a Jacquelin (ironic as that''s my name too) and I am getting it in this mocha/ivory combination with a veil similar to the one shown here, forgot to get a pic of the one I chose. Sample was conveniently my size, so the pics turned out great!
First, the model:

And on me:





FH will love it cuz it makes my ass look really good (all the ladies said so when I tried it on yesterday! Today we stuck with descriptors like ''vintage'' and ''timeless elegance'' cuz dad came with to see it.

BEAUTIFUL! It fits you perfectly. I love the sash/brooch detail!

 

[MelissaSue]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOHH!! I LOVE IT!!! Your red dress was unique and beautiful.. but I LOVE this new dress.. Its feminine, sexy, and bridal..

I love the dress, but I''m not loving the sash.....to me, it seems to break up the flow of the dress.

The dress itself, though? LOVE the style, and it''s very flattering on you!

lol -- vintage vs. makes my a** look hot

that cracked me up this morning.


i think that the dress is quite flattering to your figure! you''ll look beautiful on your big day. congratulations!

very pretty!

 

[selflove]

Oh it looks beautiful on you! Fits you like a glove--how exciting! It''s really much sexier than your red gown. Yowza! And it''s so unique, so you will still stand out on your big day, even if it''s not *red*.

Ditto!

Stunning dress, I agree the sash kind of throws it off for me and tries to make it look more modern, it looks fabulous on you, I would see what it looks like without the sash as well, and I LOVE the back view!

Me too. I don''t like the sash and the rhinestone buckle at all - it just doesn''t look right on the dress. The lace and the shape of the dress look gorgeous on you tho, and it''s even more stunning than the red dress.

Ooo! It''s beautiful Farievert! I love lace wedding dresses

So where did you go shopping? Here locally? I''m glad you found one that you''re comfortable with now!!

 

[flopkins]

NOOOOOOO I loved your red gown!!!!!!!

I like the new dress too, though I agree w/aljdewey the ''belt'' thing in the front just doesn''t do it for me. Love the lace....... but that lovely RED?! so sad.

I went to Castle for Brides in Huntington Beach, CA. The people there were soooo much nicer than the other places I shopped. Yeah, I know the sash is a little odd, but I think Ilike it enough to leave it alone (I could ask the seamstress to make it removeable, like the halter strap is). I can''t even explain how exciting it is to have this ordered. I can''t wait for it to come in. I''m just so rediculously bubbly! And now I''m looking for a hair do to go with it -something up, I can''t leave my long locks to the whims of June in Kentucky during an outdoor pre-ceremony photo shoot! I should get my invites in the mail end of this week or beginning of next. It''s all finally seeming so....REAL

Beautiful dress...sexy as hell

...shows off your darling figure, too...

...I do think that you should wear it the way you like, belt on or beltless, but it rocks without the belt to me...congrats on the dress!

 

[rms]

wow, quite a change from the red...either one is gorgeous on you...I wonder how easily your red one will sell...

 

[gingerBcookie]

wow! that dress looks fab on you! really flatters your figure.

 

[HOUMedGal]

Wow, that dress was MADE for you! Looks perfect on!!! I looooove it!

 

[AndyRosse]

I really love the dress!! It looks great on you!

And I don''t think the sash looks that bad, but I would definitely prefer it be removed. But that''s just me
