I bought the Marisa 710. Shown here in size 10 (ordered a 4).  We did some interesting clipping with mini binder clips in the chest area to take in the fabric for the pics.  Hence the lumpiness : )   Wait, am I supposed to show random people my dress!?

I am apparently unable to upload pics anyhow.  Maybe it is a sign!

Here goes again...

My dress was by Nicole Miller, I loved it- but I do have some dress regrets.

What regrets? Well, I actually bought two dresses.  My Nicole Miller I bought off of ebay for 200.00 dollars.  When I got it, it was a little too small in some areas, and the top was a little too big.  When I brought it in to a bridal store for alterations, the seamstress almost put me in tears.  She just kept shaking her head saying it was impossible to fix because of the cut of the dress (understandable).  She agreed to try, and I thanked her.  I startred freaking out that it  couldn't be fixed and decided to order another dress from j.crew-

   I fell in love with her.  At the time though, she was running for 1500 dollars.  When I got her, she was beautiful- but not worth 1500 (she's not worth the 1000 they are charging now- the fabric is pretty thin and there's only one layer- at most they should be charging 700 for this dress). When I got my Nicole Miller back, it was no longer too small, but the top was still a little big (in some of our pictures it looks like it's falling down).  I made a decision to send back the j crew gown and wear the cheaper dress.  In hindsight, I'm glad I made the decision- but I'll always wonder :)

  If I had to do again I would wear something like this:

  I love the nicole miller, but at heart, I'm a jcrew girl :)

Here is mine, both kinda silly staged shots with my MOH but gives a good idea of what it looked like....I had lots of angst before the day that I had gotten the wrong dress. I really wish they would let you take pics so you could decide! soooo annoying.  But I ended up loving it!
