    I guess you could say that my taste in wedding dresses is not what the majority love, but I'm absolutely fine with that.....other than the fact that it makes finding a dress rather difficult. I have a vision in my head, something like one of the three dresses pictured. One of them has been discontinued and I can only find the others on those dress making websites and the dresses come from China and quite frankly, I'm terrified to order a dress from any of those sites because I've read so many horror stories on here about them. My ideal dress would be champagne, lace, sweetheart, illusion sleeves, mermaid, no train or sweep train max and with no corset at the back, I know what I want, it's just frustrating becamse I can't seem to track what I want down in a store and each time I find one online, it can only be ordered from some website and I'd want to be able to try the dress on first.

    Have any of you ladies worn a similar dress or know of a very similar dress that has not been discontinued and I'm able to try on? I'd appreciate some help! :)

    I think your best bet is to find a strapless dress and have the sleeves added. It wouldn't be very hard to find that kind of dress in strapless and it only costs like $50 to get sleeves added.

    Have you tried the various used dress sites?  I saw this similar dress on Once Wed: http://www.oncewed.com/38546/used-wedding-dresses/size-12/la-sposa-7/

    I also think you would really expand your options by looking at strapless dresses and having straps added.  Casablanca does a lot of making changes to their dresses. This one looks similar to the first one posted, and it might look great with some cap sleeves added!

    I have looked at some dresses and debated about added sleeves, most stores on seem to have the capped sleeves, not the illusion sleeves like in the pictures. :( Thanks for the input guys!
