    @Mrs Squash: Thanks for the info, £20 isn't too much and atleast it came after and didn't effect you getting your dress

    I wanted to extend beading on the sash of my dress to the right & left a bit

     

    Before

     

    Afetr

     

    Now, I'm only waiting for my final (hopefully) bolero revision photos & the dress will be sent to quality inspection & sent.

     

    I also placed an oreder for Rio by Pronovias which is discontinued an from a very old collection. Jasmine's made that before so I'm sure they'll ace that dress. I ordered it designer fabric & craftsmanship in champagne & the matching veil :)

    Can't be more excited :)

    I am in love with these dresses! My mom is a little hesitant on ordering without trying it on but I can't wait to do so :) I just emailed them with a few questions and hope I hear back soon!

    Beautiful veil! I'm trying to work out what kind of veil I want, but Jasmines are currently making my second dress ( Embarassed ) so I'm trying to find something that would go with them both! Luckily they are the same colour! Has anyone else had veils made by Jasmines they want to share?

    @Pinkmoon:  Oh dear, just wonderful, I love the combination of the flowers and the scattering of crystals.  Well done.  Also anticipating seeing the combination of the dress and veil.

     @Mrs.Mods:  Jasmines made my daughter's veil, rather simple compared to Pinkmoon's but just perfect for her dress.  Here is a picture which I posted in part 1, I think.  This is a circular drop veil, raw edge with scattered crystals.  Very affordable if I say so myself.

    Ladies what do you think I want Jasmine Bridal to do a replica of Mori Lee 1802, do you think it would turn out right?

    @Dixonswife:  Actually I think they have done that for someone else - I noticed it in the background of some of my mid-production pics. I'll dig back through them and post them for you.

    @Aussiemum:  

    Pretty. I love the scattered crystals. What length is that?  Now I just have to work out style! I'm thinking maybe edged in pearls/crystals? With pearl earrings. :S God I'm bad at putting it all together!

    @Mrs.Mods:  It's a 3m circular veil.  It drops down over the head so the positioning will need to be done by the hairdresser.  I am just hoping it is long enough to cover the length of her train with enough left over to fall down in front of her (blusher part).

    Ok ladies... I need your help! Some of you may remember me from JBS thread II. I was awaiting a quote from James to make a replica Kenneth Pool Estelle dress. My wedding is in exactly 11 weeks from today! He said it would take <10 weeks (with the option to rush) and would cost $975. I'm beyond thrilled with all of it BUT..... I just found out I'm 6 weeks pregnant!! So now that throws a spanner in the works and makes me question my choice of dress. Should I request a lace up back or guesstimate how much growth I'll have by week 17 of my pregnancy. Help!

    ETA: I'm 5'2 without heels, short-waisted and at my goal weight of 51kg, size AU 8.

    Here's a pic of the Kenneth Pool Estelle that JBS will be working from.

    @katlovesjames:  Congratulations on the birth of your baby.  Two of our daughters just gave birth to sons this year, so as a grandmother of now 6 grandchildren, this is a no-brainer decision.... Go for the corsett back. 

    You will be in your second trimester so will definitely be 'showing'.  I would ask for a slightly higher waist line to your natural waist to give you a bit of room.

    How much you will 'show' will depend on the length of your torso, so bigger gap between your ribs and pelvis - less show, if you are shorted-waisted, you could be poping out quite a bit.  Also if you are prone to putting on weight, this will add to the issue as well.  Besides your 'girls' getting a bit more out there, if you know what i mean.

    @katlovesjames:  Congratulations.  That is not an easy one. First you get the dress you love and then find out your pregnant.

    Every female is different some grow a lot @ the bust, others around the bottom. 

    If I had to guess what to do with measurements go with a lace up back and ask James to allow a wide panel under the lace up section.  You will need to add at least an inch to bust and bottom and up to 3 around the tummy.

    At 17 weeks  I was always all bottom.

    @katlovesjames: Congratulations on your pregnancy!!

     

    I've been stalking this thread for weeks now and I just love every single dress Jasmine's has made for you ladies. They are just stunning! I am 99% sure I want to go with them for my dress, but I wanted to get the bees' input first :)

    I want to combine two dresses - the bodice of the first dress with the skirt of the second dress. I also want to change the skirt to a trumpet instead of a fit and flare.

    Aaaaaand I want to do the whole business in color! Either a pale green like this:

    Or a gold color similar to this:

    I can't decide which color I like better. I ADORE that shade of green, but my wedding is in October and I am a pale girl with dark red hair, so I think the gold would be more appropriate.

    One thing I am concerned with is using colored lace vs. white/ivory lace (assuming colored lace is available). I feel like colored lace might be too 'out there' and make the dress look not-bridal. But if I have to go with white or ivory, I am worried that the skirt will look like it has stripes because of the way the lace is patterned. I do not want to look like a tiger :P

    I also don't know whether it would be better to go with Premium or Designer for fabric/craftsmanship. I feel like with lace, a higher-quality fabric will obviously look better. But I don't know if the dress is really complex enough to warrant Designer craftsmanship.

    I am going to e-mail James and ask him about all of this but I wanted to get the opinions of the bees with Jasmine's experience first! :) What do you think, ladies?

    @HeyKaraoke:  I'm not sure about coloured lace (I'm sure someone else will be able to advise) but I'm not sure about it looking like a tiger if it was in a white or ivory colour, none of the lace dresses I've seen look tigerish, have u seen some?

    @HeyKaraoke:  I should say that I can't imagine the two dresses combined, yet my vote goes to the light green color, new & unique :) About colored lace, just ask them if they can make it. Ivory or white over the light green or gold lining will also look great :) I also vote for designer grade fabric because lace is the key element in the dress.

    @HeyKaraoke:  If it were Spring or Summer, I'd say go with the green. I really like it! But I agree with you about the gold being more suited to the season. I think it would be really nice in gold. :)
