    After trying on a million [long] dresses, I decided to order this one online! It came in the mail a couple months ago. It's super wrinkled, but you get the idea.

    (I'm going to get it shortened to right below my knee.)

    I ordered it from Dolly Couture.

    It's a custom 'Manhattan' with a sweetheart neckline and corset back in ivory satin. I also had pockets added!

    It also came with a removable bow (like the one pictured here, but in ivory) that i will be wearing for the ceremony (instead of the side bow).

    That's adorable!  It looks so awesome on you!  I am considering getting a custom dress from them, and love corset backs - do you have a picture of the back?  There weren't any I could find online when I checked their site.

    Here's a (pretty bad) picture of the back, the corset strings are hanging out and the sash is a little folded under, but you get the idea. It will also be much puffier after i get it steamed.

    Here's a picture from her facebook of the corset back:

    Thank you thank you thank you!!! You all are so sweet!

    Here's a bit of advice to anyone considering getting a short, poofy dress:

    If you're anything like me, trying on white bridesmaids dresses won't help. None of them were poofy enough for me.

    Instead, I had a bridal consultant pull a FULL, floor length ballgown for me (Pronovias Georgia), and had her pick up and fold under the entire bottom so it was up to my knees. It was THEN that I knew I wanted a short dress!

    Thank you for your advice on trying on ballgowns.  I tried on BM dresses (the dress I'm looking for is actually a BM gown that NO ONE around my location seems to carry...), but you're right...they don't have the right amount of "poof".  :)

    Also, I LOVE your dress!!!  Simply beautiful.

    Cute! I love it. I am getting married this year and I'm having a dress custom made that is short as well. It's not  really a traditional wedding dress, but that's me not really traditional. I also love your shoes too. I have some blue heals for my dress, but I like your's way better than mine. You have good taste. Laughing
