well, robbie...I sure do not envy you for having to decide on those beautiful dresses. I have been engaged for 2.5 years and then re-engaged in July, and I finally have found the wedding dress pattern that I think will be simple yet elegant :} So good luck to you....they are all very beautiful gowns..and yes I know I am partial to the tiara''s...but the one you tried on was just darling on you :} Good luck!
Sum, I do plan to wear my hair at least half down if not all the way down and I agree with everything you said. I feel like all the gathering makes my waist thicker and I definitely like when the top is embellished, but the skirt is simpler with perhaps a bit of embellishment at the bottom. I also don''t think that any of these are the dress. I think #1 could have been if it weren''t for those cutouts in the skirt, but it''s ok because I went shopping again! And I have more pictures!
ETA: The dress wasn't straightened out. It actually has a french bustle and a train as the way it's supposed to be worn normally. The store owner said that she could take the bustle out if I wanted, but I really love it. She said that to bustle it for the reception she would just create more folds.
I think you got closer with the second go-round. Of those, #2 is my favorite! It looks gorgeous on you! I think #3 rocks too, and based on what you said about it, I get the feeling that it''s your favorite too.
i love second round #2! soooo flattering, not coomon, and absolutely gorgouse!!! number 3''s train is fab, but i''m not so crazy about the front. i vote for #2 of the second round!!!!
Number 2 and 4 of the new pics are my favorite. I think these two dresses are especially flattering on you.... although number 3 is gorgeous too..... Hmmm, Good Luck!! (kidding!!)
I think you can''t go wrong with any of these dresses, you look like a model in all of them!!
Numbers 1-3 in the second batch all look great on you, but I have to agree with others that #2 is my favorite. Then again, I am not the one wearing it!
You should go with the dress that YOU feel best in!
