    Here it is!

    The dress is one size too big right now, so if I go with it, I'll need to make it more fitted, especially in the hip area. Also, the dress is originally a straight neckline and we pinched it to see how it would look as a sweetheart.

    This is the dress: http://www.weddingshoppeinc.com/pr/Pronovias-Florete/28738

    I tried it on 2 months ago and loved it! I just went this weekend and it's still as beautiful as I remembered. Should I order it or keep looking? I've only really gone to one bridal shop and tried on maybe like 15 dresses or so...but I really think this might be it!

    Is this THE dress...what do you think?? :  wedding wedding dress Jeanneweddingdress2

    I think it is beautiful and if you've tried on other dresses and your mind keeps coming back to this one - I'd say you're set!

    It is a lovely dress, and even looks great on you too big, so its going to be a knockout when fitted properly.  If you keep thinking about it, I'd go for it!

    Gut instinct is worth a lot in the whole dress-choosing business! I'd say that if your instinct is telling you to go with it, then do it! 15 dresses is actually a good amount to try on, and even if you end up freaking out a bit about whether or not you've made the right decision, most people instinctively know when something really flatters their body and suits their taste, which means that you'll probably go back to loving it. That's what happened to me, anyway... I mean, you look great and you also look really happy--if you love it, go for it!

    I don't love the pinched front...does it have to be like that or can it be cut into a sweetheart?

    Other than that, perfect.

    @heather25: hello! The dress is actually cut straight so we pinched it with some plastic pins. The final dress will be a sweetheart without the pinch. :)

    it is pretty, but if you have to come on here and ask "is this the one?", then its not the one.

    Keep Looking.

    If you had come on and said "YAY I FOUND MY DRESS!"  That uould be a different story.

    hi jeannes!

     

    did you go for this dress?!

    Im interested as this is my dress and I want to know how you got on with altering the neckline?! i am doing the same thing (changing to sweetheart) but Im not sure its going to look like what I wanted :( the dress fitter has puckered it so looks like the photo there when it was pinched, rather than flattened and cut.  i have time so i would like to go back to her, so i'd be soo interested to hear what you did?  i think she said the way the dress was made means its tough to cut?

    i'd appreciate anyone elses feedback on this too!

    thanks in advance!x
