So, when I fell in love with Justin Alexander 9552 in the ad 3 years ago, I loved the lace top and just love the grace kelly elegance. When I tried it on and got this...
Well, you can imagine the "poof" of my vision. I don't carry it quite as well as the model... and I'm not sure who could. Well, I got the dress and finally found a seamstress who understood what I wanted to do and was willing to do it.
So, I know present the modifications! 
I love the silhouette in the mirror of this 
now, the Bustle! 
and of course, no jacket 
Alright, That's about it! Thoughts!? I personally think she did a great job! We still have to fit the jacket to be my size, but I think it's a tremendous improvement.. and now, I'll have a one of a kind :-)
Loooove it!!! Love the boatneck neckline and the 3/4 sleeves =)
So beautiful. You have great vision and way to see it through to the final stage. I love it!
i love it! i loved the "before" pictures you posted awhile back and was excited to see what you'd do with it. your dress is totally unique and absolutely gorgeous.
That looks fantastic! you found an amazing seamstress and dress! You look gorgeous in that! I love the elbow length sleeves of the jacket!
AMAZING!! That is absolutely beautiful what you have done to the dress. It is very Grace Kelly with a bit of a modern twist. I love it!
::sigh:: So. Incredibly. Gorgeous.
It's really and truly classic and classy, romantic, stunning. Congratulations!
Wow! Its turned out really beautiful.
I'm so glad you got this dress and chose it over the Megan.
Thank you so much, everyone!
Until today I didn't feel like I got the same dress I fell in love with. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED it, but without the jacket it's not "the same" if that makes sense. Today, standing with the new revisions I felt like I WAS in the dress of the ad finally! I;m so excited to wear it next month!
It's beautiful. Can I ask: how does the jacket come off? Maybe I'm not seeing it clearly but it looks like there is no opening in the front?
Go hug your seamstress. You look flat out amazing!
@soccerball: It has buttons entirely down the back! They flow into the buttons covering the zipper on the dress itself!
OH MY WORD that turned out great! You look absolutely stunning.
What kind of bustle is that?
It looks like the sleeves are coming out great! I love the new neckline of the bolero. I love it both ways too. Are you going to add more poof to the skirt? Thats the one area I think it could use a little bit more.
Oh my LORD, that dress is STUNNING!!! I love, love, love the new boatneck - much more flattering on you. I'm seriously amazed at how gorgeous that dress is - amazing!
I absolutely love the changes you made! It's beautiful!
WOW! I was not really keen on the initial gown, but you and your seamstress just took it to a whole new level. I love it! Looks great on you too!
@anon12345: It's a ballroom bustle, I believe. I do love how it made the dress look like it's not bustled at all! The hooks are hidden under the bottom flap of the cummerbund'ish band
@arenyth: I "would" like to add more poof, but as it is it's borderline too short with my shoes. I could switch to flats or kitten heels and maybe poof some more... but my current shoes are so comfortable!
love it! If I had found this before I bought my dress, I would've been tempted to try it on. It's gorgeous!
That dress is so pretty! It fits your figure great. I kind of like it without the coat on top though.
Beautiful!
