    Well at long last the search is over! I found THE DRESS! It works great with my accessories too! I started out with a custom-made dress that unfortunately did NOT come out the way I wanted. Frankly I hated it! Then I was going to settle for a boho wedding dress but my accessories did not work with it. Then I spied this on eBay and decided to give it a try and all my BMs agree with me, this is the one! Now keep in mind, I am a middle-age encore bride so I did not go for (nor could pull off) the usual bridal shop gown. So what do you think of it?

    I love seeing brides who pick something that really describes them.  Is the rest of your wedding gonig to have a "theme" similar to your dress?

    Yes, the whole wedding will have a bit of a vintage feel - except for the ceremony which is an unique mix of Unitarian and Native American!

     Still love eBay - found out this morning that I won the Radission canoe for my FI's birthday present! A rather long road trip to pick it up but hopefully it will be worth it!

    Yes, I am so pleased that it fits as well as it does! And it covers up those middle-age problem areas pretty well too!
