Unusual wedding dress happily resolved

[MakingTheGrade]

For those of you who remember, I had some issues with my wedding dress not fitting correctly. With some great advice from Jstar, some emergency halter straps, and some fashion tape, everything worked out fine! The wedding was 2 weeks ago, here are some nonpro pics of me in my dresses. Thanks for all the input guys!

We took photos in his mom''s garden. His aunt snapped these while the photographers weren''t looking, haha.

Yeah...I really don''t like posing for photos..

Your dresses are just gorgeous!!

 

[mayachel]

You look beautiful in both dresses, though I admit I''m partial to the first. Goodness it is even more beautiful then I remember it. I''m so glad it all worked out well. Your honeymoon pics are fantastic! Those doggies are sooo fluffy and cute.

Congratulations on your wedding! You looked absolutely beautiful, as did both of the dresses you''ve shown us. I hope we''ll get to see the last one sometime, too!

When you have a chance, I''d love to see the wrap for your wedding gown, or a schematic of how it worked... I''ve been trying to figure that out ever since you first posted it several months ago!

Oh, and more pictures of everything, of course!

You looked amazing in both of those dresses, you have such a gorgeous figure

Iceland looks beautiful, I started gushing over the dogs, look at their gorgeous fluffy faces.. awww

Thanks! I only had 2 dresses, hehe.
In terms of the wrap, it''s just a silk chiffon that''s cut like a shirt, but with giant sleeves and a train, lol. Kinda hard to describe..

 

[MakingTheGrade]

I must say, I''m thrilled you guys like my dress! I still wonder sometimes if I was crazy to wear it for my wedding since it''s more of a historical costume than a wedding gown, and people kept telling me how pretty I would look in modern, fitted gowns. I''m glad I went with my dress though, and happy that you guys like it too!

Here VR, this is the back of the wrap, maybe that will help? I"m a little sad you can''t see the red Carlo Santana shoes I have on.
