    Hey bees.  I finally went against my indecisions and ordered my dress.  I am a little afraid because it is a year before my wedding, but this is the dress that not only my fellow bees voted on(polled 55% between 4 dresses), but the dress that I always kept going back to and by far the picture that I loved the most (on the model).

    Here are pics of me in the diamond white, although the dress I ordered is the light gold (looks more like ivory).

    What do you think, did I make the right choice ordering it so soon?

    The last pic is a bustle idea from the bridal consultant (not the seamstress).

    LOVE this dress!! MS Milana!! I had a deposit on it, and I LOVE the cap sleeves that come with it, they are amazing (if you havent seen them yet, they are removable and sooo nice for a church and then to be removed for the parrrty) :) So pretty, and I have seen the gold color too, thats the one I was going to buy. Good Luck with it!!

     

    ps.Also, just a tip, I dont know how tall you are, I am 5'4 and I was told that I would need to order the petite size so they didnt have to cut off too much tulle on the bottom, bc if i ordered the reg- the legnth (of the actual dress above the tulle) would have been too long and the tulle would have ended up looking too short after they hemmed it and almost pointy. To keep the soft effect on the btm the tulle has to be long and the bodice has to be short(er).

    Yes.  I did order the petite length and I also ordered the cap sleeve for the church.

    Stormala, did you ever see the light gold in person?  I haven't seen it yet and my only fear was that it would be too dark.  But in the picture it didn't look very dark.

    What'd you think?  Was it dark or did it look kind of like an ivory?

    The Light Gold is the one I tried on, it is realllllllly pretty. It is def a darker color, not white- more deep ivory, but is is exquisite! It has a very vintage and old world feel. When I put it on it was like I felt like I had literally put on an antique treasure that was handed down through the generations ( such a cheesy analogy) but I think if you keep in mind the fact that it isnt white, but something more unique you will be really pleased. The best color I can think of to describe it would be a champagne. I just found a pic of it on preowned:: In this pic it does lookl  ighter than I remember it.. For some reason in real life it definitly has a rosey blushy tone in the gold. Its really stunning. I DID IT!!!  I ordered my dress! :  wedding Gold

    So pretty!  I order my Maggie nearly a year out because my bridal salon said it would take 8-10 months for the dress to come in and get alterations so I think you're fine.  Just don't go looking at other dresses and get yourself a case of dress-envy! ;-)

    sooo pretty!!  I think it looks much better on you than the model.

    What color beading does the light gold dress have?  It might just be the pictures (or my horrid eyes), but the beading on the model dress looks more silver, and the sample beading looks clear.

    The dress I ordered is the same dress on the model.  I have never seen it in person, but I'm hoping it looks just like it.
