I did it---I bought the dress

[ficklefaye]

oh gorgeous dress!

 

[Dannielle]

That dress looks amazing on you

 

[ksluice]

You all have left me speechless!!! Wow, thank you for boosting my confidence about my choice with all your compliments. I can''t tell you the bigger and bigger and bigger grin you''ve put on my face. To be fair, I don''t know why the dress doesn''t look so good in those run way pics, but I did have the feeling that it was better in real life. And honestly, my waist isn''t so small--its that the dress makes an amazing illusion. Seriously, hurray for a designer whose dresses look good on normal bodies.

Very pretty dress! I especially love the color of the dress with your skin tone. What''re your plans for shoes?

I am doing flats, but don''t have them picked out yet...any recommendations for flats ladies?

just wanted to share this... i was watching ''Say Yes to the Dress'' last night and this girl almost said YES to THIS same dress! It took me a couple of seconds to figure out where i saw the dress and remembered it was yours! haha. (fyi: the girl''s mom was being cheap and told her to buy a $100 gown from ebay instead!

)

R u serious? I think I had my dvr set to record it this week, so I''ll definitely have to watch it carefully. That''s so fun!

[purselover]

[tigian]

[jcrow]

[ksluice]

ok, as promised...pics from the fitting..

 

[CNOS128]

[ksluice]

full length shot-the problem with these is that im holding the skirt up so the seamstress can get the underskirt length...but oh well

 

[ksluice]

similar shot a little closer

 

[ksluice]

and the veil-which is being shortened so that the start of the lace on it corresponds to the height of the crumb catcher if you see what i mean

 

[mrscushion]

Such a gorgeous dress, and it looks fab on you!

 

[ksluice]

Thank you MScushion and Big T, like I said on the LIW thread, that goodness for finding a sample that fit

Honestly, I was just happy to find a dress in which my belly button didn''t show through plain as day. Did anyone else have that problem?? LOL.

 

[Dreamgirl]

It''s very pretty and elegant!
