How about the Gwenyth by Maggie Sottero? I just ordered mine last week! It has beading on the chest, sweetheart neck line, rouching, side gather on left side, corset back, AND A-line.
Keep in mind you can't tell what it looks like the best (especially the back) because the sample dress I have on is too big....
I would suggest looking at Maggie Sottero or Mori Lee dresses. Although it's hard to offer suggestions not knowing exactly what your budget is and what 'too much' is.
Also, in addition to knowing budget, is January 2011 your actual wedding? (Just to know time frame) Have you looked at sites like preownedweddingdress.com or onewed.com to find some at discounts?
I got a Mori Lee gown that has everything you listed, and I am plus size and they make it. It's a-line, strapless, chapel train, corset back, no beading or embroidery except on one side at the waist , and rouched at the waste, it is not a deep sweetheart but a little one. She had a lot of other beautiful dresses that are similar also. And the best thing about them is the price mine was around $500.00.

Ok ladies I'm in a bind... Went out shopping this weekend and fell.in.love with Sophia Tolli's "Emilie". I felt like she was made for me...a rarity in this entire search process! No pictures of me in the dress since the shop had a strict no camera policy; but here's a few shots to give you a better idea:

Only problem? I cannot, in good conscious, spend the amount of money on a dress that the shop was asking for her. So I turn to the hive for some help...I'm not so "up" on what's out there--been more or less feeling my way through the entire process. Do any of you know of any designers or specific dresses that have a similar look? Specifically, I'm looking for:
-Corset back
-A-line
-Rouching/side gathers
-Sweetheart neckline (or one that can easily be made into one)
-Strapless
-Chapel train
-Some beadwork on the bust/back/abs area (but not down onto the train/skirt if I can help it)
As if that wasn't tough enough--I'm a non-standard size, so I'm looking for lines that do extended size runs, too. (It's cool if there's a upcharge for that sort of thing, but hopefully not too much of one.) I'd like to try to avoid any overseas/online retailers just to avoid the drama; pretty much anything that can be purchased in the Mid Atlantic / New England area is fair game.
Thanks in advance for the help and advice! :-)
PS-The date in my profile is incorrect (on purpose) for privacy/secrecy reasons. I will have more than enough time to make the purchse, so no worries there. B-)
