Hi Ladies! I know how amazing you all are finding stuff online, so I have a job for you:

I need a bolero to wear with my wedding dress. I've searched etsy.. ebay.. bridal stores.. nothing that I'm too excited about..

I'm thinking: white, 3/4 sleeves, maybe lace... or chiffon.. comes in size XL or XXL.

Can you help me?

Thanks!!

Have you tried Etsy Alchemy? You post what you want and Etsy vendors can agree to make it for you. http://www.etsy.com/alchemy/

Or, if you've found something on Etsy that is close, try contacting the seller. Often times, they are capable and willing to customize an existing item or make on to your specifications.

Have you checked out Mrs. Cheese's posts? She worse a bolero and posted several times about finding the right one.

I wish I had ideas. I'm looking for one too! Maybe it will be an alchemy request for me too!

Do you ladies think the shrug would watch my dress? I think I've overloaded my brain so much, I can't make a decision... ugh..

I think a chiffon bolero is the way to go - I don't think you want to overwhelm the top of the dress with more lace. I think an Etsy alchemy request with some ideas and suggestions is a great way to go - with that dress, and the lovely lace at the top, simple is best, in my opinion.
