    I love Bonzie! I considered them, but I needed something custom, and they had stopped doing custom work when I was thinking about ordering.

    God I wanted a Bolero so bad, but couldn't justify the $200 price tag, anyone know of somewhere cheaper? Like way cheaper? I looked at the one's at David's and didn't like them. So anywhere besides that? And by the way, you look freaking adorable. I got super dress envy from that pic. (First for me) Your dress looks nothing like mine, yet I want your's now. Silly me!

    @Oasakagirl - love the bolero!  I was looking at Bonzie's work because I wanted to have one made for my wedding too!  Now I'm convinced I need one as well.

    And btw, that David's Bridal dress looks divine on you!  So so cute.

    @Emshaw - If this was facebook, I would "like" your comment ;) Thanks girl

    @Nexus 6 - Its actually kind of a white lie that they dont do custom work anymore, time to time I do see them post custom works still. Also they custom made my bolero to my measurements :) And I ordered it just last month!

    @teaserama - check out etsy. I found another lady who did boleros very similiar and she was about 70.00 dollars for a bolero! And she did custom work too!

    @Tiger and Pearl - YES! PLEASE buy from these ladies! They are sweet and amazing and I looove their job they did! And thank ya! Im so glad I picked this dress from davids, i thought I wouldnt be able to find a dress I love for the price I could afford...I was soo wrong

     

    PS -- I feel so short, ugg i wish i had a long slender body to make the outfit better :\

    Eh, stay short please! I am 5'11 and won't be wearing heels b/c of dress length. Which is fine because no one sees the shoes anyways. But I love heels! And thanks for the tip!

    Between the dress and the bolero, that looks like a $5k designer outfit.  Wonderful job, you look gorgeous and sophisticated.

    @ Everyone, Thank you so so much!! Your comments made me feel really good! I was really worried that because I am short that the bolero and dress pair made me look fat....

    @@;;

     

    @Littlespitfire: WOW! Thanks!! I was so worried that because I had such a low budget that it would be hard to find a nice outfit...i was wrong! ;)
