I ordered my dress!

[Courtneylub]

I tried on 10 dresses, but all I kept saying was...I want the Ophelia. I only wanted to try on Maggie dresses so I could see what size I was. I love how, according to the size chart and my measurements, I''m a 2 on top, a 4 in the waist, and an 8 around my booty. Thanks, genes! I stuck with a 6 because that''s what seemed to fit me best. Some 4''s fit as well, but it''s a safe bet to go with 6.

The sales lady at the first place was so over the top. She was borderline pushy and was helping other people at the same time. I didn''t mind it so much, but I was anxious and would pick out and try on my own choices before she''d return to my changing room.

The 2nd place we called ahead of time to see if they had the Ophelia on site. They did, so we raced across town to this place. They only had a 10, but she pinned it back. I know the 6 will look 10 times better, like the other Maggie dresses I tried on.

On me.

It''s gorgeous! Great choice!

 

[partyjewels]

It''s beautiful! Great choice.

p.s. I''m scared to order my dress because I don''t want to know my real measurements! hehe

 

[OUpearlgirl]

You look great! Your waist is tiny!

 

[xapora]

Aww that was my dress!!! I felt like a million bucks in it. It looks so great on you!

 

[anchor31]

Xapora, I remember the slideshow now that I look at it! You look so goregous in the dress. Tell me, did you get it in ivory with champagne, or is that diamond white?

The song playing on your slideshow is the song I want to walk down the aisle to.

I tried on that dress, and it was very very pretty! Congrats on a great choice!!

 

[Harleigh]

It''s lovely on you! Congratulations on finding your dress!

 

[Jas12]

I luv that dress on you!!!--i know of a few girls who have worn it and it photographs really well.

BTW you look so much better than the MS model. What is it about MS ads--overkill much?!? I think they would sell even more gowns if they took the advice to not ''Gild the Lily'' !!

Oh wow, that dress is amazing, and it looks gorgeous on you, Courtneylub! I also agree with Jaz12 that it looks better on you than the model--the colour of your hair matches the accents (is that the terminology? I don't know if it's lace or threadwork or beading or what) perfectly!

Thank you! I got it in diamond white and champagne.

And that is so perfect to walk down the aisle to - it''s such a beautiful song!

Oh that looks better on you than the other picture! Very sweet gown

 

[Courtneylub]

Thanks, everyone!!

Ok, so I would prefer diamond/white gold jewelry. I bet pearls would look better with the dress, but I want to sparkle.

Thoughts?

It looks perfect on you!! Beautiful!

 

[HollyS]

Really beautiful! I love the cafe colored lace appliques; are you ordering this color combo?

Well if I'd only read your replies before posting, I would know what color you ordered!

 

[Courtneylub]

It looks cafe in the model picture, but it''s champagne and that''s what I ordered. I''m sure it will look darker in the evening, which is when the wedding is.
