    Bit pricey, but thought it might be a cute alternative dress for someone out there!

    (it's 15% off right now.)

    Also found it in Black (http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446226442&site_refer=AFF001&site_refer=AFF001&siteID=KSqIQ6SzPUQ-2YTLKKZuJgaih4J8_lKbXw)

    This one isn't "me" per se, but still beautiful.

    Oh, and lastly:

    http://www.shopbop.com/one-shoulder-dress-bow-thread/vp/v=1/845524441843615.htm?folderID=2534374302076779&extid=affprg

    My colors are yellow and grey - wouldn't this be an awesome after party dress?  I'll probably do something with the bow to make it less "bow-y"...alas, not in my size...

    Check out Luly Yang for some great alternative dresses.  I had lustful dreams about one that was a light gold floor length dress covered from waist to floor with feathers!  It was way out of budget, so I never looked back.

    You can see her stuff at www.lulyyang.com

    Here is one of her funky dresses:

    Luly Yang has great stuff! I walked by one of her boutiques in Seattle and almost gagged on the prices. But so pretty =]

    I actually went shopping there ejs.  It was so fun to be a princess for an hour!  When I booked, they actually told me that if I wasn't willing to spend at least $2500 then I shouldn't even bother booking.

    I lied and wasted their time... but what fun!

    I LOVE offbeat wedding gowns!

    One of the finalists of Project Runway a few years ago designed a wedding gown with a skirt completely covered in feathers.  All the critics LOVED it!   Me too!

    Buy the first gown.

    You only get ONE chance to dress like a movie star.  Be bold.

    Oh, this is really just an obsession now...

    Of course, never say never, and I am still in search for that perfect wedding dress!  These dresses can be for the reception/rehearsal/after party/just for fun/etc.!

    Here's another alternative? perhaps?
