    So after weeks of searching, I finally found HER...MY wedding dress.  She's a Maggie Sottero RD1044, but I've modified her to a strapless, with the ephemeral flowers encircling the gown instead (to boost my non-existant bosom).  I feel like an "Aloha Grecian goddess" with her on! 

    Bonus! She's given me an incentive to stay strong against temptation over the holidays!

    @simpleandchic: yay! we're dress twins! LOVE your shoes...I haven't chosen mine, yet, but I'm leaning toward wedges (slender, sexy ones not bulky ones) since we're marrying on grass.

    @EVERYONE: Thanks! She's one of my last visions before sleeping (right before FI Wink), so I she's definitely THE ONE.

    @EVERYONE: Thanks! I'm really trying hard to live up to the dress - she's so pretty that I just want to make my body look its best to match!

    @JoesWifey: Thanks...when I first tried her on, I wasn't too crazy about the one shoulder, either.  I LOVED how the flowers went with our wedding style/theme (Aloha-y), but I felt the shoulder "shortened me" somehow.  When MOH figured out that the whole strap of flowers was detachable, she came up with the idea - that's why I love my MOH!

    @SanDiegoAli: Oh, definitely try it on!  She's so light & ephemeral that she's perfect for our SoCal weather.

    @Cole B: What's the style of your wedding?  If it's not outdoors, I still think this could work for you...she's too beautiful to let something like a season stop you from getting her.

    @crebre -- I've heard that they *help* but don't solve the problem completely.  You'll still sink in some unless the ground is rock hard.  But that's just what I've heard.  I've never tried them either.

    I tried that dress on, too. Loved the flowers but the style didn't flatter me. It looks great on you! No one told me the flower strap was detachable. Great idea!
