Sparkalicious!!!!?!!!!

[KatyWI]

WHERE ARE THE DRESS PICS?!!?!!

I want them NOW, please.

 

[pocahontas]

Me too, lady! I know you have it in your posession! Don''t make me travel across the country and hunt you down, cougs

 

[Sparkalicious]

Oh geez ... The jig is up. The cat is out of the bag.

I can''t keep anything from you ladies.
Yes, yes, I do have her in my possession. I didn''t think that my pictures were PS worthy since I have a lot of work to do on me and the dress needs to be altered a wee bit, however ... since you are uttering threats, I figure I should give you what you want. Especially you, Ms. Poca!

I''m SO super pleased with the dress. It turned out beautifully and totally exceeded my expectations. I was devastated when I realized that I would have to slash my dress budget "rolling back the prices Wal-Mart style" and I thought that I would have to settle for walking down the aisle is something that did not make me happy, however, I''m filled with glee knowing that it is all good and, although I didn''t take the route that I thought I would, I DID end up with my dream dress ... for a fraction of the price. Could life be any better? Woooooot!!

My dress is by Julius Bridal. The style is Libbie, which is the Designer Stunt Double version of Lazaro 3607.
It is an Ivory Silk Satin fit and flare/trumpet beaded masterpiece and I love her .... can you tell?

Alright ... enough chatter ... this is all you get ladies ... I don''t have any good front shots and please keep in mind that it is all crinkly and hasn''t been pressed yet. I promise that I will post more as I get them. Maybe next fitting?

This is the back of the dress and my veil.

Back
The alterationist was starting to pin up the bustle.

 

[Sparkalicious]

Close up of the start of the bustle and some of the beadwork.
The material is amazing and I love it!!

 

[Sparkalicious]

The dress needs to be hemmed and taken in in the bust & waist & thigh area and I will be adding several more layers of crinoline underneath to give some more volume/flare. I''m so excited to see what she looks like when she''s perfect.

Close up of the front ....

 

[KatyWI]

SO FABULOUS!!!!!!

I looooooove it! So perfect!!! Thank you for giving in to us so quickly!

 

[Sparkalicious]

I''m glad that you like it, Katy! Thank you ... I was really nervous to share it with everyone so I was being a bit of a scaredy cat. I''m really happy about it so I want everyone else to be and wasn''t in the right place to share just yet if not everyone thought it was fabulous. Ugh ... we can be so silly sometimes.

Thanks so much for being interested and for wanting to see.

 

[hawaiianorangetree]

ooh wow it IS beautiful!! how is the detail on that baby!!

 

[FrekeChild]

It''s so beautiful Spark!!!!! I can''t wait to see the whole thing!

 

[honey22]

OMG!!!

It''s truly divine Spark!!!!

The detail, the colour, the glamour of it all!!

Can''t wait to see the whole shebang, you are going to make one stunning hubba hubba of a bride

 

[ilovesparkles]

It''s stunning!

 

[princessplease]

Lovely!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[pocahontas]

Threats?! What threats? I didn't do any such thing

Seriously cougs, you're CRAZY!!!! You weren't sure we'd love it?! What is there not to love?! In my honest opinion, you hit the freaking jackpot! You got the Lazaro look at a fraction of the cost...WOOT WOOT! Ahem, by the way (clears throat and says in a very serious voice) your body looks FAB and you are so ROCKING that dress, girlfriend! I feel sorry for your FI

 

[Lanie]

Sparkalicious...it''s really lovely. Do you have any front side shots that are full length?

Were you the one that posted this veil before? I remember seeing it and thinking it was such a neat idea, but I can''t remember if that was you or someone else. Either way, I love it!

 

[sunnyd]

Woooooo finally!!!

It looks gorg on you. Gorg!!

 

[katamari]

Wow, Spark, wow!

I hope you don''t mind that I am living vicariously through you to get the glamorous wedding that I am not having.

 

[Sparkalicious]

Thanks so much you guys ... I was really hesitant to share pics ... I''m so silly ... but thanks for making me feel comfy doing so.

Hawaiian - Thanks so much. The detail is delicious to me... I love it too.

Freke - I''m really glad you like it. Me either. I really want to see full pics so that I can get a better idea of the whole look

Honey - A hubba hubba bride?! Love it. I''ll have to tell fi.

Thanks for loving it and being excited ... It makes me so much more comfortable with sharing.

ilovesparkles - Thanks! ... not nearly as stunning as that stinkin cute little doggie face in your av pic, though. What a cutie!!

Thanks princessplease!!!

Poca - Yeah you!

Thank you so much ... I almost started crying at your cute little post. Apart from the near nervous breakdown that I am having at present, the dress shopping process was so difficult for me and I really wanted to find something perfect for me and didn''t think that it would happen since I have gained so much weight but I DO feel super sassy in this dress and am so happy that you think that it looks rockin on me! Yay!
Don''t feel sorry for FI .... FI feels sorry for himself. He says that I''m a handful. Whatever.

Lanie - I don''t have any front side shots at full length .. not yet anyways. I will post some for you when I do get some ... Were you wanting to see those for any particular reason? Maybe I can answer a question or something in lieu of the picture for the time being?
Yes! That was me. I love my veil and can''t wait to see it when it''s all nice and crinkle free and looking gorgeous.
Glad you like it!!

Sunny - Are you just saying that?

I''m so happy you like it! Yay!!

Kata - I''m touched. Thanks for the Wow! What girl doesn''t love that??!! I absolutely have no qualms whatsoever about you living vicariously through me. I am honored and will do my best to channel your inner glamor diva so that I have enough for both of us.

 

[ams0124]

Seriously!! YOU. LOOK. HOT!! (and that''s ONLY the back of the dress!!)....I''ll go ahead and add Smokin'' HOT once I see the front

You look truely beautiful Spark...I love it and I''m soooo glad you do too!!

CONGRATS!!!

 

[bee*]

It''s absolutely gorgeous!! Love it!

 

[Sparkalicious]

ams - THANK YOU. I really appreciate it! Not only hot but potentially smokin hot?! I must be ... I''m blushing over here - must be all my steamy or smoky hotness?

I promise to show pics of the front when I get some good ones!
Thanks so much!! You made my day.

bee* - Thanks, love! Speaking of gorgeous ... ahem - where is your lovely dress? I''m dying to see it on you!

 

[rhbgirl24]

OMG Spark, you look exquisite in that dress. The material is divine - just flows over you incredibly! I love it. Congrats!

 

[pocahontas]

A handful of what, cougs? Trouble? Hotness? Hot trouble

You don''t even want to know what I''m thinking

 

[kama_s]

Holy HOT TAMALE! The dress looks freaking fantastic on you, love the embroidery and love the sexy silhouette!

 

[Winks_Elf]

GORGEOUS!!!!!

 

[AmberGretchen]

Wow...the detail is absolutely breathtaking - I can only imagine how lovely it will look once the alterations are all done

 

[Sparkalicious]

rhb - Thank you so much. I really was a stickler for the material. I wanted something luxe and am so happy that it turned out to be just that.

Poca - Yes - all of that! I''m a handful of girl goodness.

I know what you''re thinking and YES - that too.

kama_s - Thank you! I really wanted to get something that would accentuate my curves ... I''m so glad you think it worked! Love the sexy silhouette! ... crossing my fingers that it gets sexier in the upcoming months before the wedding.

Winks - Thank you!

AG - I am so loving the detail as well. I wish that you could all see it in person. Glad you like it - Thanks!!
