Another vote for #2 over here, but I agree that it would be great to see a pic of you in #4.

Thanks!! I hope to get some #4 pictures by this weekend!

Okay, so I''m gonna officially change my vote! I love #4 on you; it''s definitely my new favourite

oh goodsoul, I love it on you it looks very elegant and the back with the ribbon is pretty. But I also love the first one, btw with the first one since you found it on sample sale does that mean its half off?

The Melissa Sweet Fern is not half off but close, it''s $2,600 still and I''m not sure what''s the condition of that sample though it was said to be excellent.

Thanks for your vote!

pocahontas - Thanks for checking back in and vote! I meant to try on #2 and #4 today just to see how I feel with them on again. Unfortunately, I couldn''t get an appt to try on #2. However, I tried on #1 and #4 today and I am leaning towards #4 for sure.

Here is #4 with me in it. The waist was folded up a little to show the ''British'' cut which is meant for Petite fit. Hence there are some gathers/folds there which should not be there once properly fitted.

The sash is detachable and i have yet to decide on which one yet.

Your comments are much appreciated!!

Thank you!!

Wow. Knocks my socks off (love that belt area, just what that dress needs). Gorgeous. This one gets my vote hands down!!

I still LOVE #2 on you. That said, I think #4 could be gorgeous. The main difference to me right now is that there just seems to be too much dress with #4. It looks a bit like it''s wearing you, whereas you are totally wearing #2 and rocking it. Of course, that may change completely when #4 is altered to fit you. Was the sample of #4 just huge compared to the other samples? If so, then I think #4 could also be stunning once it fits your body. It''s just hard to look away from #2 since it is so incredibly flattering and looks like it was made for you. I don''t think you can go wrong with either one though. Which one fits your wedding the best? If it''s an outdoor garden-y kind of wedding, then #2 would fit right in. If it''s an indoor fancy reception, then I think #4 would look perfect. You are going to look gorgeous either way!

I completely agree!

 

[shimmer]

Without a doubt, #4!!! You look gorgeous in it

 

[Porridge]

I love #1 on you, then #3 then #2!!

 

[emeraldlover1]

I am #4!!! All the way.

 

[Sparkalicious]

Goodsoul - I like both #2 and #4 on you. I also do agree with Facetfire''s comments above though ... Once #4 is fitted to you, it would be spectacular.

Now ... don''t hate me but when I saw #4 on you, I thought of this dress I saw in a bridal salon that is very similar and should be much friendlier on your budget, if that is something you were still thinking about.
It''s an Alvina Valenta dress, style# AV9902, that is gorgeous. The material is luscious and I think that based on how great you look in the RK gown, you would look equally as stunning in this one . Click Here

I''m still with #2...i just love it! But, i have to say that after the photo - #4 is very close behind....it looks great on you as well! I think you would be gorgeous in either dress - absolutely

 

[Clairitek]

Yay for sneaking photos! I was always too afraid to try that when I was in my dress hunt. I totally love #4!! #2 is a close second.

I totally agree that the dress need a little something! It comes with a plain satin sash and we tried several sashes and the Marisa seems to lend the bling that it needs. The other sash/belt that I totally adore is a tiny black belt with beadings, sequins and snake skin. I

the belt but not sure about the proportion to the dress. Don't think my FMIL would like the black belt but I totally like the look and it's so me (as in I wear alot of black color). Thanks for your vote!

** Sorry about the picture**

 

[GoodSoul]

FacetFire & ImpatientOne Thanks for your vote. I do see your point. #2 fits just nice and #4 is on the bigger end, especially on the skirt. The skirt is a modified Aline and its supposed to hug my hips slightly and flares out. It''s an indoor reception although we will be taking pictures by the park on that day. Thanks for reassuring that either one would work. Much appreciated!

shimmer & emeraldlover1 Thanks for your vote! I am liking #4 more and more!

Porriage Thanks! #1 is a beautiful dress indeed!

Sparkalicious Thanks for your vote again! I saw that Alvina dress and thought the same too!! I tried to get an appt to try #2 dress again and that shop carries Alvina line as well! I was thinking of trying AV9902 and AV9853 (which looks similar to the Rivini dress #3) but unfortunately I could not get an appointment yesterday. I will try to get an appt this week. It''s very kind of you for the suggestion! Thanks!

violet3 Thanks for vote and kind words!

Clairitek My friend sneaked a couple of pictures when the nice lady went out to get more sash for us! We kept asking for different sash! This is the time where phone camera comes really handy! Thanks for your vote!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

I love #4 on you!!!! So gorgeous!

 

[GoodSoul]

Thanks LaurenThePartier!!

Number 4, Number 4, Number 4!!!

ETA: I love that first sash!

Number 4, Number 4, Number 4!!!

Thanks! The #1 sash is really nice. Gives just the nice bling in front and soft touch of chiffon/organza behind... but geez.. the sash are really expensive!!

 

[panda08]

I''m late to this thread but I think #4 looks really lovely on you! My second choice is #3.

Have you decided yet?

 

[Dreamgirl]

No for #1......

I like the second gown the best.

 

[Dreamgirl]

Nevermind. Forget that last post. I didn''t see the posting with #4 dress on you until after I posted.

I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE #4 on you!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[idreamofcushions]

I love #2 and #4...but I ADORE #4!!! It would be my hands down favorite except that we don''t have a picture of you in it. Regardless, I''m sure it looked GORGEOUS!

 

[idreamofcushions]

Hold up! I didn''t see the pic of you in dress #4. Ok this is my absolute favorite!!! You look stunning!!! To me there is no comparison...

 

[katamari]

Oh my gosh, Good Soul! I knew you would look good in #4, but I had no idea you would look this good! This is my favorite dress now, by a longshot. I do agree with Sparks that you might be able to find a similar style by a more cost-conscious designer, but this is the dress you should be wearing!

Thanks GoodSoul - You are most welcome!! Since you''ll be making another appointment ... does this mean we get to see more pics?!

Although I love #4 - It''s fabulous and perfect, however, morbid curiousity makes me really want to see what the Alvina''s you like on your fabulous figure.

 

[GoodSoul]

panda08: Thanks for your vote! I am leaning towards #4 but have not made the final decision yet.

Dreamgirl: Hehehee.. Thanks for voting!!

idreamofcushions: Thanks for your kind words.

katamari: Thanks for your kind words, Katamari! I am looking to see if I can find a similar dress at a lower price!

Sparkalicious: There may be more dresses coming soon. I have an appointment tomorrow but not sure if they have that specific Alvina dress. Fingers crossed! Thanks!
