    (Sorry I've had troubles putting up this thread.)

    Ok, so, I said I'd post whatever bolero I ended up getting, after doing a "which bolero should I wear" poll about two weeks ago.

    Here's what I had made via Etsy. It's bone-ivory tulle, with ruffled shoulders. I'm wearing it with Watters 4049b, a bone-ecru all-cotton-lace (aka crochet lace) sheath.

    PS: I actually saw a bolero I liked better, here on Wedding Bee, but never could find out what it was. It was a sheer (organza or chiffon-looking) white puffed-sleeved little jacket, scattered with tiny pearls. Some WB blogger bride was wearing it in a field, with mountains in the background. Sigh, it was perfect.....

    thanks, ladies! i think it's a veil-during-ceremony, but bolero-at-dinner kind of situation.

    yes! it's MissOmally's bolero! but ... i can't figure out who made it. (i mean, it's kind of irrelevant now, since i got my own made.... but... but... curiosity killed the cat!)

    ohhhh yeah!! I know... hehe... i was just curious too! :P 

    Still, I love yours! I couldn't ever commit to a design, so I passed on a bolero. I love them tho!

    So it doesn't drive you nuts, I'm pretty sure her bolero was from Monique Lhuiller

    Here's a similar one (although the bead distribution on this one is a little different, but if you google Monique Lhuiller Bolero you can find the same picture she posted) http://www.preownedweddingdresses.com/dresses/9102/Monique-Lhuillier-Snow-White-Gown---Celestine-Bolero-Jacket-Size-2.html

    That said, I LOVE what you had made, I think it's so beautiful!

    I love the bolero!!  I'd like to see how it turns into a veil?  It's a neat concept!

    oh, hahah! no, it doesn't turn into a veil. i just might wear the veil alone during the ceremony, then take off the veil after the ceremony and put on the bolero. sorry  i was confusing.

    @Sleepylittlesailor - HI!! My bolero was made by Monique Lhuillier.  Thanks for the kind words.  Yes, it was crazy expensive!  The one you got is BEAUTIFUL!! I love the fluffiness of it!   You're going to love it.  It definitely can jazz up a dress and make it a little unexpected. Best wishes!  And I can't wait to see pictures of you in the dress and bolero.

    @Stlginko - Here are pictures of my bolero.
