    Hi all - my wedding is a way off, heck I'm still waiting, but I wondered if anyone had worn a fairygothmother dress for their day? I saw one on a blog and it was so gorgeous! Interested to see more in real life.

    Oh and here's a link to the pics of the bride I mentioned. She had a green dress - I think I would choose ivory - but still, how gorgeous!!

    Here's the picture from the first link:

    After being all trussed up like that, I'd be sore (and short of breath) for a month!!  They are beautiful, though...

    To me, a fairy godmother dress should have a lot more "poof"!!!

    Yes, possibly not enough room for cake. That would be a shame. But it is fairyGOTHmother not godmother! Although they do do pouf too! Voilà said pouf:

    And also some more pouf:

    These are all gorgeous! I'm not wearing one of them, but I do plan on getting a corset (a legit one, not a plastic-boned "corset" from Frederick's) to wear under my dress.

    The dressstyle/designer/shop I wanted but couldn't afford: http://www.uptightclothing.co.uk/ the bluey-peacock ones are just beautiful. Wish I had £3k to spend on a dress! :)

    Well, the fairygothmother ensembles come in under £1000 which is rare!

    Not enough?

    I would think you'd be ridiculously uncomfortable unless you're really used to wearing that tight of a corset...

    I have never seen their work before but it is gorgeous. My dress is being made by a local seamstress but it has a corseted top very similar. I have also ordered some things from Damsel in this Dress....she makes incredible corsets, skirts and jackets!
