I was not enjoying trying on dresses until I put this on. I KNEW it was the one the second I zipped it up. I absolutely love it. Mine is not in white (as in the first link), though, it's ivory and rum pink (second link).

Heres my wedding dress http://www.marysbridal.com/bridal/8504.htm

Wow you all have picked some absolutly beautiful gowns and I'm sure you will look radiant in them.
Unfortunatly I don't have mine narrowed down yet. I think I know which one I'm getting though, I just keep coming back to it. The funniest part is I thought I would never want one like it. It's strapless and I'm a plus sized women and I always thought they just don't look very appealing on a girl of my build. This dress makes me feel like Cinderella though (without the ugle stepsisters and evil stepmother).
If I can find a link to it I will post a picture

Well ladies, I finally purchased my dress and it's from David's Bridal. I was going to go with one from Mary's but decided to try and find one that was similar but not as expensive. Here is the one that I chose http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridal_gowns_detail.jsp?stid=1727&prodgroup=91. Of course, because white drains me out really bad then it will be in ivory instead of white. I fell in love with the lattice work on the train.

[Hawaiian Bride]

They don't have my dress online. But this is one that is very similar to it. Only in the front, mine would sort of V out (on the skirt). Love ALL of your dresses ladies:)

Koolade I absolutely love your dress! My wedding is not for another 3 years so I am not sure what I want yet. I look around the internet a lot to see if there is anything. I am sure once I see it I will know.

I like all the other dresses as well, and I wish luck to everyone (like myself) that are still looking. :)

[reecey]

Here is mine: http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridal_gowns_detail.jsp?stid=1208&prodgroup=92

Funny story about it. I went to try on dresses one day, and started to think I liked a certain style. Then I realized I had no idea what my fiance would want to see me in. So I went home, and gave him a bridal magazine and said "what style dresses appeal to you?" and he flipped through the whole magazine and pointed out one dress that he liked (only one out of the whole magazine), so later I tore out the photo and when I went to David's (which is where I knew it was sold), I told the lady I wanted to try it on (of course I never would have picked it out on my own because it was nothing like any of the other dresses I was trying on). So I tried it on and I couldn't believe how beautiful it looked. I kept coming back to it. After trying on like 100 dresses, I had narrowed down to 4 that I liked and couldn't decide between. In the end, it was my dad that picked the dress, and he picked the same one as my fiance. So how could I not get this dress? Both my dad and my fiance picked it out. I wonder if my fiance will remember that he picked it out of a magazine last Sept.?

UGH! That's STUNNING! Love it love it love it!

[MauiGirl]

Everyone's dresses are just stunning. here is my dress, my fiance's shirt, and the thing I'm excited about the most our wedding site. :D I wish I had the money to buy a dress like you lady's but I don't so we are going to have a fun, relaxing, crazy, informal beach wedding. :D I couldn't really ask for anything more.

You are so lucky! I totally wanted a wedding like that, but my fiance really wanted a very traditional wedding. So we compromised and are having mostly traditional elements, but to make it more fun/different are having the reception at a German restaurant with a polka band. Are you going to wear a flower in your hair? That would be so lovely. I totally don't have the money to buy the dress I bought, but I got the 0% no payment for a year option, and plan to sell my dress right after the wedding. So if any of you are interested...

[cl_peterson]

UGH! That's STUNNING! Love it love it love it!

Reecey, when I saw your dress it reminded me of mine a bit, with the color and the embroidery on the bodice, both pretty unique looks I think. :)

[cl_peterson]

UGH! That's STUNNING! Love it love it love it!

Oh, and I LOVE the v-neck and v-back details of your dress too btw. I bet it looks so flattering!

[kitty131521]

Ive looked at and actually contenplated on half of these dresses and i was SERIOUSLY thinking about that dress you picked Reecy only with red and not blue accents.. but i dont know what i want now i love the all burgandy ensombals that are out now, but i think my fiance agrees with his mom about the white thing

I had originally chosen the red, but changed to the blue - I hadn't seen the blue before so when I saw it, I knew it was right :)

Thank you for responding. I think that your wedding sounds like it's going to be fun! I don't think that I have ever done the polka. :) You know I really haven't even thought about how I'm going to do my hair. The begining of Jan. I got my hair permed so it would have enough time to settle down before I got married but the person that I had gone to burned about 30% of my hair off and burnned the whole back of neck along with burns on my forehead and on my scalp. I was loosing my hair by the handfuls... I thought that I was going to be bald by the time my wedding ***e around. :( My hair is fine now; thank god! I went through 6 weeks of deep conditioning treatments to stop the breakage and the lose of my hair but with all of that going on with my hair I think that I just completely overlooked the styling factor of my hair for the wedding but flowers sound like a great idea; thank you. :)

I'm so sorry to hear about you getting burned like that! That happened to my sister about 10 years ago - it was bad bad bad. I'm thankful I never have to get a perm (my hair is very very very naturally curly - which can be a blessing and a curse!) I actually found the exact hair I want - and of all places on a coupon for hairspray lol. It was in the sunday paper a couple weeks ago - Its amazing where you find things - and all I was doing was looking for a yogurt coupon! :) Glad to hear your hair is fine now - You were very smart to do things way ahead of time to make sure that any mishaps would have time to be repaired!

I'm sure glad that I got my hair permed way in advance... I would be just crushed if I got the perm a week before I got married and had that happen; I honestly don't know what I would have done. I'm sure your hair will look absoultly devine for your wedding after all your dress is just beautiful!! :D thank you for the reply.

[Kelly1Mickey]

Reecey, how are you wearing your hair? I also have naturally curly hair...you are right, it can be both a blessing and a curse. Everyones advice to me is to wear it down, so I thought maybe half down/half up, but I haven't fallen in love with any styles yet. Wearing it all down would feel too out of control for me. There is just no way to guarantee when I will have a good enough hair day to wear it down. Especially here in Florida with the humidity.

Mine's going to be partially up - I'm having it professionally done - the only way to really ensure a good hair day is to pay for it :) I have very thick, course and tight curly hair - so its a battle on a daily - oh who am I kidding - hourly basis :) Anyway - I'm sure it'll involve hot rollers to get the tight curl out, but ugh - its so hard to explain - tell ya what, I'll scan the picture I found and I'll post it tonight or tomorrow so you can see :)

[dorothybooth]

Hello:
All the dresses are beautiful! I wanted a ballgown style dress with a poofy skirt. This dress has a "poofy" skirt when I added the hoop slip with tulle. I'll try to post a better pick next week. We just bought a digital ***era and I'm still trying to figure out how to use it.

I tried to find my dress on David's Bridal, but I guess they don't have it online anymore. Thankfully, I printed the dress out when it was. Anyway, the picture isn't very clear, but the dress is simple anyway. It has an empire banded waist and the back is open with just button closure at the nape of the neck and the low back. I tried 3 dresses on, and both my sister and I fell in love with how this fit on me. I kinda have big ****s and didn't want to seem too "flashy" in front of everyone especially my fiance. But I love it and most of all it fit my budget. :) The picture is very fuzzy I hope you guys can see it. By the way, you're dresses look beautiful. I hope you are as ecstatic as I am. How many times have you guys put your dresses on???

This is really funny, because when my cousin was getting married( i was maid of honor) i went with her for her dress fittings and the one time, i decided to try on some dresses(davids bridal) and found this one and fell in love. It was going to be the one(i used to look at it online for the heck of it)-so, when it ***e time for me to go dress shopping, the first one i tried on was this one, and it just didnt have the same effect. although i still love it, just wasnt the one anymore. Im glad you love it!

[GINAD922]

Everyone's dresses are beautiful!! My fiance & I are doing a destination wedding to Jamaica. We were originally planning a wedding in our hometown but I finally had my fill on dealing with drama-queen it's all about me brides maids!! Since we changed our plans it has been completely stress free.

I originally wanted to find a simple kind of floaty dress but I tried several of them on & didn't really find one that I liked. Then I ***e across this one & fell in love with it.

http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridal_gowns_detail.jsp?stid=1891&prodgroup=127

Good luck to all of you & I wish you a very happy future!!

[CaliMom]

Its very simple. It ***e from Chadwicks - www.chadwicks.com
I love that dress! My mom got remarried in 2000 to a wonderfull guy after a horrible drawn out marriage to my dad. That is the dress she picked out and she looked so beautifull! I am sure you are going to look just as beautifull! Hope all goes well.

Let me tell you the story...I was shopping for the longest time, trying to find the dress of my dreams. every weekend I went out with my mother in law. I must say i liked almost all the dresses i tried on (that would be about 30). but finally, my mother in law told me to narrow it down, so i picked a dress to buy. Once i got home, i couldn't stop thinking about it the whole week, that i had made the wrong choice. so i panicked. Thinking that i couldn't return it, i went out and bought a designer dress in a clearance section off the rack. i took it home and later realized that it needed too much work to fix, and i thought i deserved a new dress for my wedding day. so i decided to sell the designer dress, and i called up the dress shop where i bought my other dress, and told them that i needed an exchange. So, on a rainy day after work, i went to the little italian dress shop by myself and tried on another two dresses. This second dress was perfect. not too big, classy and very elegant.

heres the link...

http://www.mydestinationbride.com/images/pronovias04-semilla-web.jpg

let me tell you, i never thought buying a wedding dress would be this hard! But i am now very pleased with the outcome.

Good luck to all of you in the future, and on your wedding day!!

OK, got one of them to show up, but the one of the back of the dress is still in hiding. It's not even showing up on my website where I host my pics, so I'm guessing it's a server issue. *shrug*

****, not visible.... :(

lol... I don't get it. Those pics are there one minute and gone the next. :confused:

[esp1087]

lol... I don't get it. Those pics are there one minute and gone the next. :confused:
I know it is strange... I'm seeing them now, though. It is a gorgeous dress! I'll try to remember to bring my ***era for my fitting in two weeks so I can post a photo also.

[nle5]

lol... I don't get it. Those pics are there one minute and gone the next. :confused:

When you post the pictures what type of file are you uploading? If the picture type is not listed then it will not upload them and keep them posted. If you need to send them to me in an email and I will be more than glad to post them for you. My fiance knows how to change the file type if it is the wrong type of file. If you need my email address send me a private message and I will send it back to you.

Never mind SOM my fiance showed me how to get the properties of the pictures and we were able to get the picture and manipulate it so we could upload it here. Your welcome!! I wanted to see the picture of the dress as bad as anyone else. Which I must admit it is pretty ... now that I saw it .... hehehe.

Maybe I just wasn't meant to see them! lol Thanks for trying though.

[nle5]

Shannabelle,
You are not the only one who cannot see the pictures. I cannot see them either and would really like to.

Well after playing around trying to figure out if I could get the picture properties I was able to and posted the pictures we have all been trying to see. They are working now so should they stop let me know and I will try to do it a different way. It's really nice to have someone know how to manipulate the pictures. My fiance told me how to get the properties of the pictures and then what I need to do.

[nle5]

Ok, let me see if this will work with me posting SOM Z28's dress pictures. I am going to post two messages each with one pictures to see if that will work. I sure hope so.

[nle5]

Here is the second picture. We can thank my fiance for telling me how to figure out what to do.

[MauiGirl]

Good job nle5 looks like you and your FH did it! YEEAAAHHH! :D

WOOOOO HOOOOOOO you all can see her dress now. You are all welcome. It is nice having the FH around to tell me how to do the computer sometimes. He does web design so handles a lot of pictures and their properties all the time.

Thanks! lol...I was just starting to think it had something to do with the computer that each person is using. I can see the pics I posted when I'm on the net at home, but not at work. So I was wondering if everyone was having the same issue.

[MauiGirl]

Ok, let me see if this will work with me posting SOM Z28's dress pictures. I am going to post two messages each with one pictures to see if that will work. I sure hope so.

The orange one is mine. Ther blue one is my FH's. We're car fanatics. That's how we met...through a car group back in VA...so we are incorporating the colors of our cars as our wedding colors!

We both like to take the cars to the track, but we haven't much since we moved to FL. The muscle car 'thing' just doesn't seem to be as big where we are as what we are used to.

They are both very nice cars! What year? I've wanted a 1969 ***ero since I was a little girl but as you probably already know they are just hard to come get, well at a good price. I would even rather have a beater so I could fix up my own way. ;)

Am I having a conversation with myself here??? lol The '69 is my dream car. I want one to fix up. Gene and I have looked, but since we really don't have the storage or $ to play, we're gonna wait.

My ***aro is a 2002 and is TA is a 2001. The TA is on jacks right now...we had to pull the tranny b/c he blew out the front pump seal, but she should be running by Sunday.

Okay - we're missing the point here...what is your CAR wearing for the wedding? heheheh :) Seriously - which car are you driving for the wedding or are you getting a limo or something else? I'm not sure what I'm doing yet - hopefully I'll have my new truck by then :0

[SOM Z28]

Actually, we are planning on leaving the cars at home. Neither of us want anyone to get any funny ideas about writing on them or anything like that. We both are fanatical about our cars and spend hours upon hours cleaning them, and most people who know us know better than to touch the cars, but we don't want to take any chances.

My mom will probably drive me to the wedding since it's only 1/2 mile from the house and my FH is staying with his brother at his hotel the night before, so his brother will be responsible for him.

Now, back to what eveyone is wearing.... :)

[SarahK]

:D Thank you all ladies for posting your dresses for those of us in the beginning stages of planning. Its great to see what real people are wearing without trying to figure it out by websites and magazines.

Thanks again for inspiration.

Here's a picture of the dress I bought for my wedding (by the way, I'm not getting married for another 2 years! hahaha) but I have it stored in a cool vault so that it won't change color... The dress is from the Alfred Angelo collection, affordable and comfortable styles This one is style 1727 and when I tried it on, I fell in love with it... I actually picked out another dress before than and placed a deposit on it to have it ordered in my size but then I had nightmares about the dress because of the location of some beads. So I went back to the bridal shop, tried it on again and noticed it was scratching me under my arms (didn't like that but the dress was beautiful) so I tried on new dresses that was just in more recently that I hadn't seen and I fell in love with the one in the picture. That's my story... hehe

very pretty! congrats on getting your dress! :)

[gemgrl524]

this is a site that I found that seems too good to be true. I am a plus-size and this site has some amazingly beautiful gowns for REALLY cheap! all of their dresses come in all sizes from 2-30 (i think) and they are actually pretty! if anyone has any experience with this site/manufacturer, please let me know how they worked for you. i haven't bought this dress yet because i am trying to figure out WHY they are so cheap! I loved all of your dresses and I hope you have beautiful weddings.

let me know what you think...this is for a vintage-themed (1930s, 1940s) wedding next March.

I think your dress is stunning. I mean, I loved all of the dresses posted, but yours fits so well for the theme. I am sorry to say that I don't know anything about this site, but if you have enough time left before your wedding maybe you should order it with your credit card. That way, in case there is a problem you have the help of your cc company and enough time to keep shopping.

http://www.lazarobridal.com/laz_b/images_lg/LZ4123.jpg This was the 8th dress or so I tried on. I was looking for something plain, yet classy.
It was a "left-over" and it was the one I drooled over in the magazines... I have tried it on maybe 4 or 5 times and I love it. It makes me feel amazing. It is pretty heavy though! I got a really great price on it from a local bridal salon. Don't be afraid to shop left-overs or discontinued styles, you can find great dresses at a fraction of the price sometimes.

If the last one shows- you will see, I grin like a fool everytime I step into it. Going to have to work on that!

Good luck for you ladies who have not found your dresses yet. Half the fun is looking and trying them all on!!

Hi there,
I love your dress and have been looking for it for quite some time now. Can you please tell me where you found it? I'm going to be on a tight bugdet and will be following your advice. I would greatly appreciate it if you would let me know where you purchased it. Perhaps I could look there and might have some luck even if it's with a different gown.
Thanks so much!
Tiffany

Hello ladies, I'm new to this and I enjoy looking at your wedding dresses and getting pointers from your e-mails. Very helpful. But I'm at the first stages of my wedding and I'm not sure which dress to get. The first one is my dream dress but I don't know if I should go strapless because I have small ****s and I'm very petite. I also love the last. I'm having two weddings because our families are large and in live in two different countries. It's hard trying to find that "right" dress. But anyway, here are some of my choices. BTW I love all of your dresses!

If this is your dream dress, I say go for it! You can always "pad" the front a little bit. Also, most strapless dresses come with optional spaghetti straps, or you could have them very easily added to the dress. I would go try the dress on at a bridal shoppe and see what it looks and feels like on you. Ask the bridal shoppe if they can make straps for it (or any seamstress really). I think its a beautiful dress and if it truly is your dream dress, go for it! :)

[SOM Z28]

They are all beautiful. I like the first 2 the best, but my personal favorite is the 2nd. I think that is stunning.

[ca_dawson]

I have to agree that I also love the 2nd dress the best. I think that style of dress is reccommended for petite girls. Good luck on picking one! They are all beautiful!

Thank you! I'm still very much confused. I'm not sure if I want to get one or two dresses. I will have a wedding in Los Angeles with our immediate family and one in Belize with friends and family, which is the bigger of the two and both are months apart. Do you think it's wrong if I only get one dress for both ceremonies? What do ya'll think?

I personally would only get one dress - just because its me - I dunno, I wouldn't want people to think that I liked one dress better than the other so I wore it where it was more important or anything like that heh

I'm with the others on this one. I like the second dress the best. I also agree with reecey that you only need to get one dress.

[SOM Z28]

I'd say go with just one dress. I don't see the point is spending the extra money. You could use that money toward your reception or honeymoon or something.

[taylorsmom]

I personally like the 1st, 2nd and the 5th ones. And like everyone else said I would only get one dress. Especially if you get your dream dress that you want, then you will be able to wear that beautiful dress twice! I would love to wear mine twice. Good Luck on deciding...you will need it!! :)

[Lacey]

It took me forever to find my dress. But when I saw it on the dress dummy in the store, I told the sales lady to strip it and get it on me. When she did I fell totally in love. I got it in the white with an extended cathedral veil. I can't wait until Christmas when it all comes in!

I just wanted to say hi and thank all of you for posting your dresses. I just started my search for mine and this has helped me quite a bit to see what is out there.
I have found one that I like but it was too small and I just found out it was discontinued so now I am trying to search all the stores to see if anyone has a sample in stock in my size since it can no longer be ordered in the right size. any advice on other things I could do to try and locate the dress? :confused:

I am looking for a Mori Lee dress, the style number is 2613. It is from the Blu Collection. I would need it in a size 26. The 24 zipper wouldn't go up. If anyone knows where one is or even a picture of the dress that I could share with my bridesmaids that are scattered across the country so they could be on the lookout for it. any help would be appreciated.

When you post it shows you are from North Carolina so I found the Mori Lee website and found a list of the North Carolina stores which should carry the Mori Lee line of dresses. Here they are and I hope this helps.

That is the same dress that I picked out. It was the second one that I tried on and I just couldn't part with it. Everyone that I tried on after this one I just compared to my second one. I love your dress (obviously) I'm sure you will look very pretty in it.

You are getting married in 2007 and have already picked a dress? Aren't you afraid that after a year passes you will change your mind and want a different one? Seems like personal fashion/style (not to mention a person's body shape/weight) can change a lot in 2 years.

[myloveabp]

it looks a lot like my great grangmothers dress that i have loved all of my life

[reecey]

Is your great grandmother's dress still around? Could you possibly wear that? It might be a nice touch to wear a family heirloom if it is still around. Cleaners can do amazing things with dresses that are discolored over time or torn in any way.

[ca_dawson]

this is mine http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridal_gowns_detail.jsp?stid=1586&prodgroup=10

I think that dress is absolutely stunning! I love the corset style back! Mine will be corset as well. As soon as I figure out how to post pics I'll get it up here. Very beautiful choice!

I'm not worried about the dress not fitting me because there's room for either taking-in the dress as well as taking it out. I felt so comfortable in the dress I bought that there's no way I'll change my mind on the style of it. I don't think there's anything wrong with buying a dress 2 years ahead of time, as long as you are aware of how you can alter it if need be if you do decide to purchase it. Mine is being stored, free of charge, in my bridal salons Cool-vault. That way it won't yellow or get dirty until it's time to alter the dress' length 6 months prior to my wedding date.

Is your great grandmother's dress still around? Could you possibly wear that? It might be a nice touch to wear a family heirloom if it is still around. Cleaners can do amazing things with dresses that are discolored over time or torn in any way.

no it was not verry well tacken care of so it no longer is wearable

[ca_dawson]

Here is my dress (if I can get the file to upload!) I had some more pics of real brides wearing it but they were too large to upload. :mad: I love the ivory/gold color, but being traditional I want it in white! It is so beautiful in person!

[taylorsmom]

Very beautiful dress ca_dawson!!! I like it in white better also! :)

[ca_dawson]

Very beautiful dress ca_dawson!!! I like it in white better also! :)

Thank you! I fell in love with it the moment I saw it (online) and then in person it was absolutely spectacular! I can't wait until it comes in and I can post pics of me in it!

ugh! just plain gorgeous! I wish I could pull off something like that! Its just beautiful! I do love my dress and wouldn't change it for anything :) I'm glad you found your dress!!!!

[SOM Z28]

That is beautiful. Congrats on finding you dress...

[nle5]

I think your dress is stunning. To wear a dress similar to your great grandmother's is a wonderful idea especially if you have loved it all your life. I am sorry you cannot use your great grandmother's dress since that would have been really special.

That is a really cool idea to have the salon keep it in their cool vault. I do not know how many of them have that here in Arizona as none of them ever give you that option.

It's a stunning dress. I agree with the other ladies. I think the white looks the best.

Thank you. If you click on the backside of the dress, it brings it up close, which shows all of the detailing. I bought a veil, in Cathedral Length, which has beading all down the side of it. I can't wait to wear it. :o

Where do you stand with the planning? I am freaking as I don't have a photographer, videographer, or florist. I am also am looking for bridesmaids dresses.. :confused:

[ca_dawson]

Where do you stand with the planning? I am freaking as I don't have a photographer, videographer, or florist. I am also am looking for bridesmaids dresses.. :confused:

Ceremony and reception site is booked. They do all the decorations and Dj and music and catering and cakes so thats alot I don't have to worry about! The site also provides a coordinator so she takes care of everything and I just meet with her and tell her what I want and she makes it happen. Huge relief. My dress is picked out, but not ordered yet. My sister is coming from out of state next week so after I show her I will put in my order. I have lots of ideas for bridesmaids dresses, but none picked out yet. It's hard because I find the dresses I like online and then I can't find them in the stores to have the girls try on! My site also does photography so I'm almost certain I will use them. The do videography too, but it's basic and no editting or fancy stuff. I may just use them and then edit it later if I want. Haven't decided yet. I am so stuck on the flowers it's unreal! I can't even make up my mind on the type of flowers I want! I also found the favors, cake design, invitations, and hairstyle I want but can't really do anything with it yet. Am I forgetting anything (or everything!)

Ok. Now I really feel like I am behind the eight ball. My reception site will also be where my ceremony is. I need to pick the dresses, I am thinking of a pale pink, with a darker color for my sister. The hall does the catering. A friend of mine is doing the djing as a wedding gift, another friend is giving us the cake as a gift. The site comes with a limo. I have not even figured out what kind of flowers I want. That is one of my biggest stumbling blocks. I have posted my three photographer choices on boston.com, to see how other brides have reacted to them. Two people raved about one of the three and one said no way on one. The third choice, I can't even find a website for him and no one has said anything about them. FH would like to do floating candles for the centerpieces. Oh, and flower girl dresses. Two girls who will be three and eight. The eight year old is loving this and the three year olds mom thinks that she will be so cute. Fine by me.

do you have your officiant for the ceremony? Are you serving alcohol? Is that included with the food and the hall?
Oh yeah - do you have YOUR dress and have you got the attire for the groomsmen? :) What about decorations or favors?
Don't forget the marriage license! Depending on where you are, they're only good for a certain amount of time (30 days in Michigan) and it takes time to get it as well.

I have my dress and veil - I went to Cape Cod during the winter (best time to wedding dress shop in New England). I do have a friend who is a JP who is going to do the ceremony. I know what I want the guys to wear, but FH has not asked his guys yet. There is a champagne toast included with the hall as well as a coctail hour while the photos are being done. The marriage license is only good for 30 days in Massachusetts (no blood test is required). So, I guess that I still need to figure out gifts for family and girls and decorations. Anything else?

Thanks very much I have many pics of me in the actual dress I just am getting around to creating my journal here as well.

Believe it or not that was my 3rd dress, I first ordered a signature deisgn but decided I wanted something more bridal, then I exchanged it for a victoria wedding gown and I still wasn't happy, untiol I bought this one "reem" at a sample sale from the bride room in tennessee? anyway, they shipped it to me in NJ and I have been happy ever since, I am however worried about the seamstress altering my gown. :(

you can check around to other bridal stores that carry this line of dress and see if they work with outside garments - also, check around for seamstresses that have a portfolio of wedding gowns and references. How far are you from new york? You might have better luck there.

I picked up a Frugal Wedding book and Chadwick's was listed as a place for nice informal gowns. I fell in love with that dress the moment I saw it.

My dress was a Mary's too. I love this designer. I got many compliments on my dress the whole day and still now weeks after! They use a luxurious fabric that falls beautifully when you walk and the beading on the train and the train itself goes all the way around so that it won't flip and show the back of the fabric with beading seams. Mine had the full length cathedral train. Thank goodness it was detachable because the fabric and beading on the dress and train weighed a ton! Mine was a full skirted ballgown. I have no hourglass to fill the dress you chose here. :( I am sure yours won't be quite as heavy. All in all, I gave them two thumbs up. :) It even had a pocket hidden in the pleats which ***e in handy for a tissue when needed. Everyone got a kick out of it! You couldn't even see it until I pulled something out of seemingly no where in my dress.
I almost forgot to mention, they also have flower girls dresses to match the gown you choose or something very similar.

[kg4eoh]

ok, I am going to try and insert a picture of the dress I just bought. Icouldn't get my picture in right, so here is the link for the dress. I will try to reduce the picture of me in it so that the file isn't so big. I am so excited. I am just in love with it and it is really different from anything else I saw while I was looking. Hope you guys like it!!

I think your dress is beautiful. I can't wait to see you in it. I think we look better in the dresses than the models because we all have that "I'm getting married in this" glow about us that makes the dress light up too! :) I especially like the way it opens up in the front. I have a ballgown that does the same thing and I think it looks so elegant.

[Debbie]

I just love looking at all the dresses :D

style - but fortunately found a seamstress willing to make it :)

find out where you can go and try on all of those dresses sit in them walk in them and take your time. they are all beautiful. dance in them even make sure it not to much dress. remember its a long day, your going to be hot. they are all beautiful. See if there is a dress similiar except cheeper, at a bridal mart or something.

My dress is ivory. I do not think everyones dress is white on here. We actually have a lot of different dresses and some have different colors.

Mine is Ivory and Mocha. If you look back a few posts I have pictures of me in it. I love the color. I couldn't wear the white, it washed me out too much and made me look like casper.

I like the 2nd and 3rd ones. However, see if you can get your dream dress. If you are not opposed to buying online try either house of brides or the bridal mart. I actually got my dress at the bridal mart (I was able to actually go there because I am in NC, but they do allow on line orders) I got my dress for about $350 less then it retails at other stores. Also, I tried on a Mary's dress similar to your dream dress and the price they had it listed at to buy off the rack was $318 and it was $280 if you just ordered it.

[SarahK]

I like #3 and #4... they seem most closely related to your dream dress. :)

[Octoberbride15]

I wasn't insinuating that all the dresses on here are white :confused: .I was trying to get some support from other brides that don't have traditional white b/c I am nervous about my champagne choice.

Well you definately have my support. My dress is Ivory and Mocha and it really suits me. The trend these days is for more color on the dress, no need for you to be nervous about your choice. I bet it looks great on you.

thanks for the advice. I'm actually going to look at house of brides and see if I can find it, I've also tried ebay, but couldn't find it either. :( I'll keep looking, hopefully I'm going to try on some dresses this weekend! :) Wish me luck.

Here is my dress. There is only one difference though. Mine is all ivory, including the beading. The picture shows ruby colored beading. Which is also pretty, but I preferred the ALL Ivory dress! I love it!! :)

Oh my gosh, I love the Maggie Sottero dress! The Davids dress is nice too, but I loved the other! Its almost exactly the type of dress I have been looking for! :)
Yeah, the back is pretty too! Here's another website that shows the back view:
Darci (http://www.bridesave.com/search/index.cfm?action=details&product_id=14966)
If you click on the little link right below the picture that says "Click Here to enlarge this image", it will show you close ups of both the front and back of the dress. Sorry... for some reason I can't get a link to work for the pop up window. :rolleyes:
Anyways, I really love the dress but I can't find it anywhere to try on. There are stores around her that carry Maggie, but none of them have THAT style. I'd like to try it on first... but the only way to get it is to order it. So if I didn't like it, it's just too bad. I'd be stuck with the dress. :( So I'm a little uneasy about the dress bacause I'd really like to try it on before buying it.

Heres my dress.

OH MY GOD!!!! We have the same dress, which is so cool because I know that at the store I bought it from, I am the only one to have ordered it in ivory in the past year, and they haven't sold any white ones. They said that no one looks good in it, and I shouldn't be able to wear it because I'm too short for the style. I'm also too short for the dress; I have to wear 5" heals since they can't move the detail high enough to hem it more.

They showed me a really nice bustle when I tried it on that made it flat in the back and really showed off all the beadwork, but when I went to my fitting, they tried doing it how I was describing and they said they couldn't do it... now I'm stuck with a french bustle (ew ew ew). I'm also going to cut the ribbons shorter and just tie it in a knot and tuck it in instead of having a bow (which they also threw a fit about me wanting to do when I had my fitting even though that's how I had it both times I tried it on).

[kyzmit]

I wasn't insinuating that all the dresses on here are white :confused: .I was trying to get some support from other brides that don't have traditional white b/c I am nervous about my champagne choice.

Don't be nervous about your color choice... first, lots of dresses aren't even white or ivory anymore, they've got colored panels, flowers, or just *are* colored. Second, I have lots of friends that work at bridal shops and they all say the same thing; hardly anyone looks good in white dresses. Almost everyone orders ivory now because it generally looks much better.

If you haven't already had it bustled, you might want to check around with some other alterations people. I have been told by many people that the folks in alterations at David's Bridal are not always the best and sometimes won't think outside of the box. If you were able to hold it up like you wanted, I wouldn't see why you wouldn't be able to do it like you wanted.

Cashy~ I am having the same problem! I found my dream Maggie dress, but can't find any of the store that carries that exact dress. The salons that carry Maggie dresses that I've been to only have like 1 or 2 of them. It is so frustrating. There is a Maggie trunk show at a salon about 2 hours away this weekend so I'm hoping they have my dress there. I have tried on a replica of the dress, but it wasn't the same at all since the Maggie has a corset back and I wanted to see how that looked. I did come across a website that will send you the dress to try on, the only thing is they charge you the full amount and then reimburse you when it gets returned. So if all else fails, I may try that. I just know it's the dress I have to have!

Unfortunately they're already bustling it... the thing that frustrates me is *I* didn't hold it up that way. One of the alterations girls there did!

I asked the manager (a good friend of mine) and the girl I worked with who were both there when I had my first fitting, and neither of them remembered how she did it and both agreed that it had to be a french bustle with the way the dress is cut. The alterations lady got snippy with me for wanting my ribbons cut shorter too... she didn't understand I wanted them tucked in and not bowed at all... she kept telling me just to double bow it to keep from dragging. But that's fine... it just means I don't have to pay her to sew that up too :D

And although I hate the bustle, at least I won't be looking at my butt that day... and I'll let the photographer take a couple of the back side of teh dress when it's bustled (and won't really look at them), but I'll make sure he has a bunch with the train out too...

Ooh! I LOVED every corset back dress I found, even the ones that looked horrible on me! Good luck finding it!

Really? You found a website that would do that? That sounds like a good idea... as long as they actually refund your money. :D Do you remember which site it was? Perhaps I should check that out.

Ok, I am going to try and get the pics of me in my dress loaded on here. I think I have finally made the files small enough to work. I love my dress!! I am still trying to pick BM dresses to go with it, any suggestions from you guys would be appreciated. I am thinking of putting the BMs in Chocolate colored dresses, what do you guys think?
:D

Here's a picture of the dress I bought for my wedding (by the way, I'm not getting married for another 2 years! hahaha) but I have it stored in a cool vault so that it won't change color... The dress is from the Alfred Angelo collection, affordable and comfortable styles This one is style 1727 and when I tried it on, I fell in love with it... I actually picked out another dress before than and placed a deposit on it to have it ordered in my size but then I had nightmares about the dress because of the location of some beads. So I went back to the bridal shop, tried it on again and noticed it was scratching me under my arms (didn't like that but the dress was beautiful) so I tried on new dresses that was just in more recently that I hadn't seen and I fell in love with the one in the picture. That's my story... hehe

tough choice :(

Who designed this dream gown of yours? I would love to check out other designs made by this person.

[TanyaB]

This is a picture of my dress. I LOVE IT! I found it on the discount rack, and luckily it fit. I love that it is different, plus I think it is perfect for my caribbean wedding. The flowers are all hand painted.....

[Vixen]

i really like that.

[kg4eoh]

Wow... that is really pretty. And you're going to be so gorgeous on your big day. :D

Thanks! I just fell in love with it when I tried it on. I think I knew the first time I put it on that it would be it. It is so different from a lot of the other dresses out there and I love the colors. You can't see it in the pic so well, but the insert in the dress is Mocha and the beading is mocha too.

[goody2shoes]

I am soooooo happy!!! Last night I went to JcPenny's after work and walked past a rack holding the most beautiful dress; so I tried it on and I loved it so I bought it! :D So now I have a pretty dress. Nothing like you lady's but I like it. :D

I really liked your other dress - especially the idea of matching your FH's shirt to it. Still, it's a wedding day and every girl wants to feel like a princess. I love the one you have settled on - simply stunning.

[goody2shoes]

this is a site that I found that seems too good to be true. I am a plus-size and this site has some amazingly beautiful gowns for REALLY cheap! all of their dresses come in all sizes from 2-30 (i think) and they are actually pretty! if anyone has any experience with this site/manufacturer, please let me know how they worked for you. i haven't bought this dress yet because i am trying to figure out WHY they are so cheap! I loved all of your dresses and I hope you have beautiful weddings.


http://www.bridalmartsuperstore.com/kathryn.html

let me know what you think...this is for a vintage-themed (1930s, 1940s) wedding next March.

What a fantastic site. Thanks for this. I haven't managed to spot your dress yet - because my computer is on a go-slow I think but I have managed to see one that I REALLY like and it may just be perfect and the added bonus is that they DO ship to the UK. Let us know if you find anything out about the company but looking at the site, they do seem okay to me. Credit card buying is a very good idea indeed. So thanks for that tip too!

We are all going to be so BEAUTIFUL on the day - there are certainly some delicious gowns out there - good enough to eat!

[goody2shoes]

I just wanted to say hi and thank all of you for posting your dresses. I just started my search for mine and this has helped me quite a bit to see what is out there.
I have found one that I like but it was too small and I just found out it was discontinued so now I am trying to search all the stores to see if anyone has a sample in stock in my size since it can no longer be ordered in the right size. any advice on other things I could do to try and locate the dress? :confused:

Have you looked at the ones on e-bay? There is an amazing array of dresses and they are at such good prices. :)

[goody2shoes]

I picked up a Frugal Wedding book and Chadwick's was listed as a place for nice informal gowns. I fell in love with that dress the moment I saw it.

Has anyone got the website address for "Chadwick's"?

i have not quite found a dress yet... acctually i have not been able to try on any dresses yet but i LOVE this dress you have and i have seen this sight before and love it too. there is other dresses i like but i am on an extreamly tight budget of only like 500 for my dress with alterations so i need to wait but i jsut wanted to say that this thread has given me plenty of ideas for what kind of dress i would like to get and i aLOVE this particular one :):)

thanks

[kg4eoh]

here it is ladies....my actual dress...I am so excited....also, if you guys would give me your honest opinion about the tiara I am wearing with it....is it too gold or do you think it looks ok with the dress?

[MusicCityGirl]

This is the dress pattern I have bought for my sister to make. It is a simple pattern but I think it will be pefect for a simple renewal ceremony. It will be made with satin ivory material. I want her to make the neck line with the pattern on the left and the sleeves with shorter cap like sleeves so I can wear it with a shawl made out of the same material. It will still be elegant but not too fancy for a smaller renewal.


I will be wearing a simple Tiara instead of a veil. I think they should go well together. I hope you can see both pictures.

[Elaine]

here it is ladies....my actual dress...I am so excited....also, if you guys would give me your honest opinion about the tiara I am wearing with it....is it too gold or do you think it looks ok with the dress?

I don't think it's too gold. I think it matches the dress perfectly.
I am actually leaning towards gold myself.

[kg4eoh]

thanks! I like the tiara, but it is like $65 so I may try to find it elsewhere.

[lyndsaynicole]

I am excited about my dress and just wanna show everyone!!!!

It's between these two....I don't know which one I like better-they are both beautiful!
