    Of course I ended up with the complete opposite of what I pictured before I started dress shopping.  But when I put this on my family said it was so me and strangers in the salon also said that I'd be crazy to get anything else.  My only decision now is whether to get the belt or go without....but I have my dress!!!!

    Yikes! these came out huge - but I can't stop looking at my dress :)

    @frommisstomrs.:  

    @gelaine22:  

    Thank you!!! I think I probably will get the belt, it adds that extra oomph, right?  I haven't seen this particular dress on other bees yet - its an Essence of Australia D1460.

    @cali_cat:  Yes, I would say definitely go with a blingy belt of sort.  That one looks great!

    You look really great. I usually say no to sashes but I really like that one you have paired with it and I think it does great things for the dress.

    Wow! I love it and it looks great on you!! I really love the bottom of it. And I do like it with the belt! But you really could wear it either way.

    @cali_cat:  Very nice, and I would go with the belt, just adds that bit of focus on your very curvey waist.  Seeing that you have 'got it' I recommend to 'flaunt it'.

    @Aussiemum:  lol - thank you! My FI loves curves so I wanted to make sure to show them off a little ;)

    That belt was priced at 300, so I might try to make or find a cheaper version before I break down and buy it.

    Ooooh, you look phenomenal!  And yes, I love it with a sparkly belt like that, shop around on Etsy - a lot of Bees have gotten beautiful belts on there for less than $300!

    @Aussiemum:  I second Etsy or try Jasmines Bridal Shop, they can replicate the belt for next to nothing.  Plus they are exceptional with veils, underskirts and just about everything else you may want.

    Thank you everyone for such nice comments!  I know I love the dress, but it helps SO much to know that other people think I made a good choice too.  No dress regret for me! lol

    That dress fits you perfectly!! You look stunning. I agree with most PPs that you should get the belt.. but I'm a sucker for a little bling :) I think it definitely adds some texture and breaks up the body of the dress a little.
