    Hello Everyone. I'm brand new here, but I've been cyber stalking for a while...

    A little about me, my name is Sarah, I'm 25 y/o, and I'm a 2nd year Medical Student.

    My dress is the Alfred Angelo Belle top with the Cinderella bottom. I had to order a size 24, even though my street size is 16. I lost about 100 lbs and have a lot of excess skin that I haven't had removed yet.According to the sizing chart, I was a size 18 Chest, 24 Waist and 20 Hip. I was told to go with the biggest measurement and that the rest of the dress can be reduced up to 4 sizes. (I hope!)

    The sample I have on is a size 12.

    I'm actually holding the skirt of cinderella up to the dress. The dress has since come in, but I'm away at school, so I haven't seen it!

    I also bought a slightly different crown.

    Pardon my not so pleased faces, it was a hectic day. My fiance's Grandpa died a few days before, and the wake was later that night. I was emotionally exhausted! New Here, And Said Yes to the Dress! PIP :  wedding Dress

    Well first things first, Congratulations on being engaged and Welcome to the Hive. You'll love it here. Secondly (or thirdly), I like the idea of mixing the two dresses. It seems like it will come out great. Please post pics when you get it in. =)

    Thanks ladies! I have another 2 months 10 days till I am home to try it on. Now the real challenge is finding size 11 shoes with a 2.5 inch heel or less!! (I didn't order extra length and I'm 57")
