Hi! I'm brand new here, but I have been coming by every other day or so, as google searches bring me here, so I thought I'd better join. 

Just got engaged a couple of months ago and I'm totally in love with a few dresses, which I'll be trying on in two weeks.  I'm wondering if any of you have any photos of yourselves in the following gowns. I'd love to see what they look like on real women, not lithe, 5'10 supermodels.    

I'd love to see them in all color options, but I'd really super love to see ivory and/or champagne as my super pale self will not be wearing white. 

• Casablanca 1827

• Casablanca 2051

• Casablanca 2053

• Maggie Sottero Malina

• Augusta Jones Juno

Thanks, ladies!

@takemyhand:  Hey, Thanks! I know that's kind of a common sense thing, use the site's search bar...I just jumped the gun I guess, or maybe wanted all the results in one tidy little spot. Either way, I appreciate it. 

I'm wearing Augusta Jones Juno! There's a great pic from the front in the AJ thread linked above-- but here's the back/train!

@FutureMs.Canadian:  Ooooh! Thank you for sharing. That's gorgeous!! I love the overlay, it's so pretty. 

@takemyhand:  haha no I didn't think you were implying that, just after I read your post I was like, 'Oh yeah. Duh.'  :)

@chipmunklove:  Thanks for sharing your photos! Sooooo gorgeous! It looks so good on you with your pretty skin tone. 

I can't wait to see pictures after alterations.

I have an appointment next Thursday to try them all on...wish me luck!

Here is Casablanca 1827 from when I tried (and fell in love) with the sample! It really is a beautiful dress...I am adding the sash :) Hope this helps, good luck!

@chipmunklove: Thanks! The dress is really beautiful without the sash but I just think it accentuates the waist a little bit more. I'm playing with the idea of just doing a plain ivory satin sash instead of the rhinestones, but I'm waiting until my dress comes in (around June, too!) to decide for sure.

Btw, the dress looks beautiful on you! Is the veil you're wearing in the pic yours? I think I'm going with a mantilla veil but I haven't decided 100% yet. Is it too much to wear a lace edged veil with a lace dress? Hope not..I love lace :)

Girls, you look amazing. Thank you for sharing!

I went last Thursday and tried them all on...but ended up buying one that I'd discovered on the Casablanca website just a couple days before my appointment! I put it on and heard a collective sigh when I emerged from the dressing room.

Keep posting photos of the requested dresses, though! I love seeing them.

Congrats on finding a dress! I'm sure it's beautiful, any pics?

@hnd6146:  Yep, got a few pics.  I'll have to get them from my cell and will upload.

Actually, I'm silly, but I am afraid of my fiance finding the file of my pic on the computer somehow. I'll try to remember to post a photo from my work computer on Monday morning instead!!  :)

Regarding the lace veil witht he dress, I wouldn't worry that it will be too much. I am also wearing my mother's veil, which has very thick lace at the edges, and I have also had my heart set on a lace dress. I was worried that this would be too much, however the veil looked good with both the Casablanca 1827 as well as an all lace maggie sottero (which i never thought would work). I have pictures here if you'd like to see:
