Mandarine, you look like a bride in that dress. If fits you so beautifully, and it is so clear that you are about it--I am so happy that you made your choice and you love it!

Congratulations!

Mandarine, you look great!

I actually saw that show last night about the girl who imitated Cristina Aguillera''s wedding, saw her dress, and thought of you. So glad that you found what you truly loved!

 

[blushingbride]

Beautiful! It definitely has that Spanish feel you were going for! You have a smile from ear to ear - you know that''s THE ONE!

 

[Mandarine]

Thank you guys!!!!!! Thanks for all the compliments!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We will have to do a before and after pictures, because I'm kicking into high "Bridal boot camp" gear at the gym!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha. I am SO excited.

Now GUESS WHAT!!!???

This dress was $1,300 at the store, they were going to give me 20% off for the sample, plus taxes and alterations...it came to $1,500.

That was just too much for me, so I started the hunt, I just called RKBridal and they can order it NEW for me for $775, including shipping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you believe it?????????????

If I find a cheaper quote, RK will beat it by 5%!

I can get my dream dress with alterations for about $1K...which is still a ltitle higher than what I had budgeted for but I can accommodate otehr things on my dpreadsheet and make this work!

I am dancing and jumping all around the office!

[Krissie]

That is such a gorgeous dress and it''s so flattering on you!

I hope to have a form-fitting dress for my (Oct 0 wedding. That should give me enough time to lose weight ...

 

[Mandarine]

Thank you guys!!!

I''m getting ready to order from RKBridal!....I''m a little nervous because the size of my bust, waist and hip all yield to different dress sizes! haha. Should I just go with the dress size I tried at the store? It was a little big (see picture)

 

[Mandarine]

For some reason I can''t attach pictures, but look at the old thread:

https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/ready-dress-crazy-girl-is-back.63447/

Does that look too big?. I think the hips were ok, it was a little too big above the waist line. Using their measure chart I''m between two sizes (the one in the pictures and a lower one).

What should I do?. I''m exercising tons, but I don''t want the dress to not fit! hehe

[anchor31]

I love the dress on you. Congrats!

 

[surfgirl]

You look so happy in this one! And yes, the sample looks like it fits perfectly except in the bust so I''d probably order that size since it seems to only need slight tailoring. What are you doing for a veil?

 

[IrishAngel7982]

Mandarine, this dress is perfect for you and your wedding! I''ve been following your ideas and I think it''s an awesome choice. Congratulations on the great find, girl!

 

[Mandarine]

Thank you guys!!! You are all so kind!

I am glad you guys like it!!!. I was a little nervous when I made my decision, btu I am 150% sure that this is the dress I want
