    I keep looking through the boards for a Jim Hjelm post, but I've found nothing.  Anyone end up with a Hjelm dress?  I happen to find a dress of this line online looking for lace and I loved the scalloped neckline - the 8663. It changed what I thought I wanted my dress to look like entirely.  I tried a few dresses on at a bridal boutique (not the exact dress as they didn't have it) and decided to have a seastress make the dress with a few changes.  The lace was EXPENSIVE, but overall I"m saving about $1,000 off retail not including alterations this way.  Anyway, anyone else a Jim Hjlem bride?  Pics?

    I will try to post some pics of the dress I had made.  I'm supposed to go for my first fitting tomorrow!!!!!!!

    I wore a Jim Hjelm Dress (JH8765) - I believe it is pictured (ad nauseum) in my bio.

    LOVE(D) it and STILL get compliments on it!  I <3 Jim Hjelm!

    @BackyardLoveBird:  Your dress is beautiful!  It's so unique and romantic.  I love the pale blue underlay.

    @krobbie - Eek, sorry my reply took so long.  It's great to finally find a dress twin!  I got the ivory dress with the champagne sash.  What did you get?

    Oops, this is my first post and I may have accidentally sent it twice.  If so, sorry!!

    I just bought my Jim Hjelm, Style 1000 this weekend.  I can't really pull off the strapless look and this dress was sooo comfortable.  I love it!  I can't wait to wear it officially :)

    It originally had a flower at the waist but I'll take that off and add a belt with some bling.  I love that the back has some drama as well.  And it has pockets!

    I have not tried any Jim Hjelm gowns on yet, but I love the designs.  JH8814 is on my list of top three dream gowns!

    Here is mine!  I carried a picture of it in my purse for 6 months.  After trying at least 50 dresses in my hometown, I finally went to Kleinfeld to try this dress.  I love it!  Done and done.  :)
