    So I decided to brave a bridal store on my own today.  After trying on about 15 dresses I was throughly dissapointed and decided that I would try another store, as i was doing up my wedges, the owner screams from the back "wait I found it".  She then walks out with Maggie Sottero "Leoni".  Leoni and I are instantly attracted to each other, and once I tried her on, I was in love.

    What do u bees think? I would wear it strapless for the ceremony with a veil, and with strap on for reception without veil.  Honest opinions please.  Does anyone else have this dress???

    That is YOUR dress - Gorgeous!

    But I would definitely wear a crinoline with it! But I can also promise you that yours will be puffier than the sample when it comes in!

    Congrats!

    It seems like every Maggie dress I have tried on looks alot less poufy than the actual model pic!  It would look so nice with a crinoline.  And the dress fits you like a glove!

    So beautiful! I think it actually looks better without the crinoline. I like sleek dresses, though, so I guess it depends on the look you're going for. I love that dress on you though!!!

    Looks gorgeous on you. I like the addition of the strap to spice it up. I'm biased though...I have the fiorella :)

    Beautiful!  I prefer it strapless though.  I like the volume that the crinoline gives, it will create more movement when you are walking and dancing!

    The dress looks beautiful on you! I do think that the model is wearing a crinoline in that picture - I think it might add a little something to the dress if you do as well (you can probably test drive a crinoline at your fitting!

    another quick question...my finace has made it pretty clear that he hates ball gowns and pick ups, if I was to add crinolin to this, would it screem ball gown?  And also what is the shape of this dress? Fitted A line? Trumpet....

     

    thanks for all your sweet words...i slept on it, and still LOVE this dress

    I tried that dress on with and without a slip under and I would really get crinoline to put under it. I didn't have a huge one but just enough to give it the flare.

    You look awesome in that dress! It's one I am debating on the Leoni or the Jenna. I just don't know because I have hips and hate them!

    GREAT DRESS! it looks good on you, perfect fit, and I am IN LOVE with the shoulder strap. I am not a big fan of all the extra crinoline, though. But congrats, you found your dress!!!!!!!!!!!

    You look stunning in that dress. I don't think crinoline would make it ballgownish at all, it would be a kind of fit and flare into A-line.

    You look beautiful in that dress.  I love the one strap on you. 

    I would be tempted to maybe wear a bit of poof (or crinoline) for the ceremony with the veil and then once you have the strap on and ready to dance, de-poof and de-veil and just look elegant and fun.

    I agree with @troubled, I like the idea of being able to change the dress just slightly for dancing :)

    The dress is beautiful and it looks gorgeous on you, BUT seeing your wedding is still a year away, I'd hold off in buying something just now, and try on more dresses...  The Leoni will still be there if you want it later.

    (I'm a two dress bride, and the worst you can do is jump the gun so soon!)

    I have also tried on Leoni and LOVE her! She hugs all the curves in just the right way! I also have a year before my wedding, so I'm holding back to see if theres something that screams at me louder then Leoni :-]

    I also like it better without the crinoline. Is that the color you will be ordering it in?

    I think a not overly full crinoline would look great.  Also I LOVE the strap-I think it makes the dress look so much more elegant-so IMO I would wear the strap the whole time, and add the veil for the ceremony.  I also think that gown is made for you, and yeah, you slept on your decision and still love it-I would get it!!!
