My dress came in (with 5 weeks to spare - whew). I immediately raced down to pick it up and see how hard I have to work out in the next few weeks. Fortunately, it fits perfectly, so I don't have to sign up for Bulging Brides or anything. The length is even OK, although I will need to get it bustled. I might have the sleeves tweaked a bit, too.

And of course, I have pics. They're not great ... but they give the general impression. (Excuse blank expression in the first one.) :-)

Oops, pics too big. Let's try again, shall we?

That looks very similar to the Augusta Jones Tia!  It looks beautiful on you and it really does fit beautifully.  Congratulations!

Thanks ... it's actually Alfred Angelo 1148. I've heard it's a more affordable version of the Tia. :-)

Omg it's beautiful!! That's the dress I've been lusting after for a month now, haha. A friend of mine tried it on and she said that the neckline was extremely low. How does it fit on you? It looks just fine! :)

I love it! I love that it's not strapless(even though mine is). And BTW, I love your hair!

The neckline is not too bad, actually, and I'm totally not a cleavage-showing kind of girl. I'm 34D and I was a little worried because the sample I tried on was a size smaller than the one I ordered and the girls were a little, er, crowded in it. But this size fits perfectly and my mom says it's perfectly OK for the church wedding. I'll take her word for it. :-)

So pretty! This is the dress I always loved in the magazines, but just didn't love on me. It looks fabulous on you! Congrats!

YAY I am SO loving your dress!!! It reminds me a lot of mine :)

I really want to make the back of my dress look more like yours because I have an off-the-shoulder dress as well. Would you mind if I bring a picture of the back of your dress to the seamstress to see if she can do something similar??

You look amazing in your dress!!!!
