    After the shock and let down of falling for an Augusta Jones dress when my budget did not allow I took bee suggestions on designers to look for that are in my budget. I went to a store in my hometown of Toledo today and they were amazing and it just so happened they really didn't carry much out of my budget! So after trying on a lot of dresses that were maybes and I like that but... the lady pulled this dress for me and I am in love! My mom doesn't really like to give her opinion so I need some from fellow bees!

    GET IT!!! That is so lovely! It makes your waist look tiny and gives you a great hourglass shape. And you definitely look better in it than the emaciated model.

    Two thumbs up! I am also a huge fan of the corset back ... reduces your alterations bill as well as being wonderfully flattering.

    I love it.  I can't wait to see it altered so it fits you.  It is gorgeous and elegant and it makes you happy.  Check, check and check on the dress check-list!

    You guys just made it more official! I'm sold! I sent my dad the pictures (he travels for work all week) and I can't wait to hear his opinion! I know he is going to think it is soooo much more expensive than it is! Plus the store offers a discount for paying in full so that'll make him happy! Woo hoo! I love this feeling, its such a rush!

    Love the dress.  very classically chic.  The only thing I'm not feeling is the corset back, (I know, I'm in the minority).  I just think it takes away from the timeless beauty of it.  pearl buttons would be so much more elegant.

    This is one of the dresses that I tried on when I was dress shopping, and it was definitely one of my favorites. I remember it being very comfortable too, and it does enhance the curves like it's nobody's business! I didn't buy it though (not a fan of the lace-up back, and I preferred non-strapless), but I do have fond memories of it. Great choice! :D

    Thanks for all your kind words! I have watched what I ate for the last year to drop 20 pounds (was closer to 30 but I have fallen off the wagon since moving in with FI) and I'm a tad insecure but everyone's comments have made me feel so much better! Man being a girl can stink! lol! I haven't ordered it yet since it is in Toledo and I am in Cleveland and I need my father to do so. But I have LOTS of time! Thanks again girls!

    looks like a winner!  i love the corset back as well esp when the gap is not as wide.  It's creates such an elegant effect =)
