Thanks everyone!

Sum, I think part of the happiness was coming from the fact that I was soooo happy that I''d decided to stand my ground on switching seamstresses, but 99.9% is because I love love love my gown!

Thanks, Maisie!

Thanks aljdewey! I was a little worried that the veil might be a bit too busy, but I really do like the way it turned out in the pictures

Thanks zoe!

Thanks snlee!

Thanks basil! It''s a 3-hoop skirt with a small crinoline on top of that. The fullest my hoops could go (they''re adjustable) was just a little bit short of me not needing to get the dress hemmed, but adding the small crinoline on top of it fluffed it out just enough so that the length is perfect for me in my skechers

.

Thanks Mandarine! One of my favorite things about ballgowns is that they make all waists look tiny!

. I love how structured the bodice of my dress is. I really feel like I could go eat a supersized extra value meal at McDonald''s and the dress would still make my waist look flat.

You look beautiful, robbie! The dress is stunning. I tried it on and loved it, but I felt like I was two short to pull off the ballgown. It''s perfect for you, though!
