Does anyone have a very close up (and clear) picture of the embelishment on the top and waist?

this is my dress - im getting married in 7 months! i love it!

@Blush.Champagne:  looks amazing on you :)

Hi Ladies, this is my dress and I am wearing it in just over four weeks!!  I may be the first to wear it as I cant see any other brides wearing her anywhere.  I have my first fitting tomorrow and then another in two weeks and then that's it! 

I must admit im nervous as I loved it at first and have gone back and forth over whether it's not classic enough etc but I do love it and cant wait for it to fit me properly as that should make a huge difference.  It's hopefully going to be much lighter on my hips once it fits and I will have it made much shorter as there is too much material at present.  Roll on two weeks so I can see the finished result!!

The fitting went well, it's a lovely dress and now I know that it's going to be properly fitted to my hips I am very happy.  It's a little loose for my liking at the moment so I am happy to share photos in a couple of weeks after I have seen the finished product.  It's a good choice, my friend loved it and so do i, it's a very classy dress which is what I wanted.  I have silver sparkly shoes (kitten heel) they are very special...only problem is that you cant see them!!

Hi ladies, just an update, I had my second fitting last night and the dress fits perfectly, the only problem is that I had back fat.  I know some people are okay with this but I am a slim person was really upset about it.  You literally give up your life to arrange a wedding and then the ladies in the shop expect you to accept such a devastating problem and just shrug their shoulders.  I didn't accept it and now with two weeks to go, I am having sleeve/straps made for the dress.  Not ideal but fingers crossed it works out.  they are thick enough to cover a percentage of the fat at least.  I am going back next thursday to see if it makes a difference.  I really hope it does.  The dress will look completely different now so I will have to change my hairstyle and sadly the cake topper has the old dress on it  :(

Will let you know how it goes.  I know this is kind of a depressing post but perhaps if it looks okay with straps, it may give other people options if they come accross the same problem as me.

Hi I am sorry but I dont have any pictures of it - didn't want to remember what it looked like last night.  I will try and post when I see it next week

Thank you for your note, I will let you know how it goes!

Hi Ladies well my wedding was two weeks ago and I was so happy with the dress.  See for yourselves, I will attach a pic

Thanks ladies. I have a zillion pics but these show the full dress. I didn't add anything to it, but kept it bustled for most of the day. I found bustling on the outside kept the dress looking fuller. I would recommend having two or three buttons and bustles under there for everytime someone stands on you and it comes away. It's bound to happen and such a good idea to have a spare!! I didn't go with the straps as you can see, i just wore a veil with it. Amd put a sheet panel of organza put in at the back to help with the fat issue! I got so many compliments on the dress but I think my worries were valid and it's hard not seeing it on anyone else beforehand so I hope that this helps you with your worries too.

It was certainly a fun dress and great for spinning! Our photos are on Chris Powell photography.com under Sara and Elliot if you want to take a look at other pics from the back etc.

Good with with your weddings x

I had to alter my dress. I moved the top embelishment onto a jacket and I also had to wear a scarf. I know it's VERY different but it's my own style lol just so you get an idea of a lebanese muslim bride would look in a wedding gown lol.

@whitewater8:  

I removed the top embellishment and order extra material and made a jacket. And I uploaded the belt i used. I don't know the  name brand but it was from the same store I bought my dress from. I also wore more crinelan underneath. Thank you for the compliment! I hope your dress and day turns out amazing!
