I found my dress!

[emeraldlover1]

I bought my dress! Its Melissa Sweet Lilliana. I went in thinking I wanted a new POB style and came out with a Melissa Sweet. There was no question, once I tried it on I knew it was for me. I got it at the designer collection event so it came with a discount. YAY!

I''m not sure if I can post a picture of it though. My fiance knows about pricescope and I don''t want him to see a picture of me in my dress. I think if I ask him not to look he may just look. Then, I don''t want him to stumble upon it by accident. What do you think I should do?

I know you want to see it but seriously, should I risk it?

I worry about the same thing EM1. My FI reads the boards every so often.

Is it important for you that he not see the dress before? If so, then I wouldn''t risk it (although I''d love to see you in it

)

 

[emeraldlover1]

I really want to show it to you. What would you do?

Front. I added the broch on the middle of the dress. Its hard to see in the pic, though

 

[emeraldlover1]

back..my fav

 

[emeraldlover1]

I have to admit that I freaked out a little cause I thought the samples would have been big on me, but they weren''t. This one fit perfectly. I still ordered a size bigger though, just in case. Although, I don''t really gain or lose weight that often.

Love the ruffles!

 

[oobiecoo]

Very pretty! Do you have any more pics of the front? I''m trying to figure out what the hem is like.

 

[dani13]

[WishfulThinking]

Unfortunatley, no. The hem is a double flounce and the first layer basically curves up around the side to the back. I wanted POB style 4200 which is brand new because it has the double flounce hem, however I liked the back and the sweetheart neckline sooo much better than the other one. The awesome thing is that is was about 2k cheaper than the original style I wanted. That never happens to me.

I am going to wear a birdcage veil. i just haven''t found one that I love yet. I''m going to keep looking. The Brooch is awesome and it did wonders for the front of the dress.

 

[fieryred33143]

You posted it!!

It''s perfect. I love it and you look so beautiful!!

 

[bee*]

It''s absolutely beautiful on you-the ruffles on the back are just gorgeous!

 

[joflier]

I just love the back! It looks kinda like old-world tradition with the modern strapless twist. Looks perfect for you!

 

[kittybean]

Oooh, what a cool dress! The back is so interesting and pretty--I love all the ruffles. I also think the birdcage veil will look so chic.

[miraclesrule]

You should check out etsy.com. There is a seller on there named QG designs http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5680900 that makes custom birdcage veils. I ordered some flowers for my hair from her and they are beautiful!
