    I'm hoping someone can post pic(s) of themself wearing La Sposa Frutal. I have seen pics of one bride wearing it in a "dress rejects" thread, I'm wondering if there are anymore out there or any brides who wear very similar dresses, especially with the short illusion type sleves? There are pics online of the model and one of someone selling the dress.....I'd like to see more. :) Quite frankly I think that while the models are pretty girls and all, real women do the dresses more justice, usually.

    I tried it on! Keep in mind, the sample is FAR too small.

    I loved PB Frutal!  It was a very close runner-up for me.  Here are two pictures of me in the dress -- one from the front, and one from the back.  The back is so beautiful.  (Note:  The sleeves were a little too short-sleevey for me.  I was planning to make them narrower, so they were more like cap sleeves that just went over the shoulder.  So that's why the sleeves are rolled up and tucked in a bit in the pictures.)

    This dress is so classy and elegant and romantic.  I really, really want another bee to wear this dress and show us all your beautiful wedding day pics!!! :)

    Oh, also, here are two random pictures I found on the internet.  (I swear, I googled and googled until there was nothing left to google just to find pictures of real brides in the dresses I was considering!)

    I've been eyeing this dress too, I absolutely love the back. I also thought the sleeves might be too "short-sleeve-y" but it looks great with them altered to be cap sleeves.

    You guys rock! Thanks so much for all the wonderful pictures. I personally love the sleeves just the way they are that's one of the things I love about the dress. The back is so elegant and classic looking, the whole dress is. Does anyone have an idea of cost for this dress? I would rather all over lace, even at the bust area so I may have a dress designed and made, one that looks very similar.

    Yep, I think it was like 1300-1400 for me, but that was at a trunk show. So, I'm guessing around 1500 normally.

    I thought the price was closer to $2000.  I really can't remember though.  Tried on SO many dresses!

    these are pictures of myself in my wedding dress. As you can see it's the Frutal La Sposa. I purchased it off the sample rack, so it was dirty and worn down. But I got it at an AMAZING PRICE. $800 or so. I got my stepdad to tailor and altered the dress for me, the dress i purchased was a size 10, and I'm a size 2. So he did an amazing job. I also wanted the sleeves to be taken off because I felt the dress just weighed me down even more since I'm so short (4'11!). But I did use the sleeves on my bouquet. I told the florist I wanted the sleeves to be wrapped around my bouquet as my something old :)

    Hope you guys like it.
