    The bridal shop called me this morning and let me know that my dress came in!  So of course I couldn't wait to rush over there and make sure it fits!  Well to my liking it fits perfect and doesn't need one single alteration, well except for the bustle.  Here are some pics, sorry they were taken with my blackberry so not that great of pics.  I put my hair up and my veil on to kind of get a picture of what kind of hair inspiration I am looking for!  If you can see that bracelet I ordered that from a wonderful gal on ETSY, she custom made it for me.

    Are you flat footed in the picture? Or are you going to hem it? It's such a pretty dress! I've always wanted a dress with a bottom that is similar, but I could never figure out how they would hem it. I'm a shorty!

    Thank ya'll so much I am just so excited I don't have to spend an arm and leg on alterations because we all know how expensive those can be.

    KATEMW- i ordered a petite in the dress (I am 5'5) so yes I was actually in ballerina slippers, unfortunely you might need it taken up so that would probably cost a lot with this kind of dress! Frown

    Thanks so much everybody for all the nice comments.  I think all of us worry a bit that we might not feel the same way about "the dress" as we did when we first tried it on and put the order in!  But I love it even more now, probably because it is actually "my dress" the one I will wear, not the one that every girl in the dress shop has tried on!

    Berbybride- The gal that made my bracelet from Etsy is BridalBling and her name is Debi and she is so wonderful to work with!

    RachelHoffman- My dress is a Maggie Sottero and style name is Milana.  My dress is Light Gold/Champagne lace with Gold accent, Maggie gives you so many option for dress colors.

    Do you girls think that I should wear a necklace with my dress, a really simple one?  I am thinking that I won't because my dress has a lot of detail on the top but am trying to decide.  What do you girls think?

    I am attaching another picture that is a little more better quality than the ones above.

    Your dress is gorgeous!  I love it on you--you look stunning. 

    Is the bottom edge just raw tulle?  I had that on the bottom of my dress and instead of really hemming it, the seamstress just cut a little bit at the bottom.  The lining of the dress was shorter, so there was nothing else sticking out.  This seemed to work a little better, because the edge was cut anyway.  She said that she didn't know another way to hem a dress with the tulle edging.

    Wow, no alterations except for the bustles!! NICE!!  You look soooo beautiful!!  I think I agree with you that you don't need to wear a necklace.  It might become too busy, as your dress has a lot of details, like you said, already. 

    Congrats!!!

    Hey Dereksbride i know you asked about other brides in your dress to show pics.  I have some but they are in the sample dress but in the same color as I ordered.  Same as yours as well.  THe veil I have one I will order as well.  it matches the detailing on my dress PERFECTLY and for only 180!  woot woot!  I wont be wearing a necklace, bc the top is so overwhelming and my veil covers my shoulders adding more bling, I just got to find the perfect pair of chandelier earrings and a good bracelet.  Let me know if you want to see a pic whether to email it to you or post in on here.....BTW you look GORGEOUS!

    OH MY GOD!! It's so flipping pretty!! And you are just rocking it! Wowza! haha!!

    As for the necklace, go with a simple strand of pearls to match your bracelet.

    Gah what a gorgeous dress.

    BEAUTIFUL!!!!

    I think a simple thin necklace or a simple single strand of pearls  would be great with that.

    congrats on a beauty!!
