My wedding dress is IN!

[larussel03]

And I''m trying it on tomorrow!!!! Hopefully I didn''t gain any weight since I got measured!!! (Little bit nervous)...my pants still fit, so that''s hopefully a good sign...

Soooooooooooooooooo excited!!!

I''ll post pics afterwards!

 

[zoebartlett]

YAY!! I can''t wait to see it!

 

[akw94]

[labbielove]

Ditto!

 

[larussel03]

YAY, I tried it on today and LOVED IT AGAIN!!!!! (STILL)

just need the top taken in and a little in the waist, the length is perfecto with my 3" heels that I brought to try!

Without further ado!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the hanger....

 

[larussel03]

Front detail...(color is champagne with ivory lace over it)

 

[larussel03]

Side detail...excuse the bra straps...have to get the top taken in so no bra would be indecent...LOVE how it scallops!

 

[larussel03]

Lace at the bottom of the dress detail

 

[larussel03]

Sparkliness! HORRID tan lines!!!!

 

[larussel03]

Front on moi! No slip/crinoline required, it comes iwth its own! After my 1st fitting at the end of the month the top will fit alot better!

 

[larussel03]

back! taaaaaaaa daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Thanks girls!!!! I'm so excited!!

I don't know if it came with a bustle, I didn't look...I think you can have it made with one before you have it altered though...shoulda taken a closer look. I'm just happy it has enough crinoline in it to not need a slip...I don't mind them at all, I just didn't want to buy *another* dress related thing!

The length was perfect also! I'm wearing 3" heels (I do have wedged flip flops to replace the heels if my feet hurt though) and the edges of the lace were *just* off of the floor, so it doesn't need to be taken up at all! (Confirmed with seamstress, who said if the shoes I wore today are the wedding shoes they're perfect). It only needs to be taken in at the bust!

It only took barely over 4 months to come in!!!

[jcrow]

[risingsun]

What a beautiful dress!!

 

[anchor31]

It''s stunning and you look GORGEOUS in it!

 

[Dee*Jay]

Really really pretty! And that lace overlay is so elegant, especially where it is a little longer than the train and you can see all the detail.

 

[basil]

Oh, how beautiful! And you have such a nice figure for it, too! It really doesn't look like it needs many alterations at all.

ETA: It's cool how the pendant you're wearing in the one pic is throwing off a huge reflection

 

[SeattleSparkle]

It looks great!! That is so exciting to have YOUR dress. Alterations will only make it look more stunning!!

Yay, thanks bee*, nyc, fancy, jcrow, risingsun, anchor, dee*jay, basil and seattle!!!!

Basil--the pendant is my fav silver tiffany''s X pendant ... I''ve had it since my freshman year of college (like 5 or 6 years ago) and have worn it EVERY DAY since!
