    Okay, I just feel in love with this dress.  What do the Waiting Bees think?  I want something vintage-looking and classic and romantic and very Grace Kellyish.   I love lace; but wanted to add some satin in there as well.  Look what I found via Google Images.

    @Tulip61110 Thank you!  I'm going for unique.  So far, this is the only dress that has come close to the dress in my mind.

    Hve you seen Ivanka Trumps wedding dress? It was based off of Grace Kelly's and it is SO gorgeous. Say what you will about her father, but the girl is beautiful and has impeccable taste.

    @KMSull, yes, I have her gown saved to my favs.  I however, perfer something with longer sleeve, not a ballgown look and I want satin as well.  Her gown is beautiful!  Also, I must have the buttons at the wrist of the sleeves and down the front.  I'm looking for something more vintage looking and not so modern.  Ivanka's gown is a modern version of Grace Kelly's gown.  Ivanka is gorgeous and was a stunning bride.

    @futuremrsreed - I have no idea who the designer is.  I'm hoping I can get a local designer to replicate it.  I am so in love with it right now.  I wouldn't do the extra long train, but the dress itself is beautiful!

    I love it!  I, too, look to Grace Kelly as my bridal role model.

    What about his gown?  Slight changes to the top portion.  I need long sleeves or at least a long sleeve jacket and I just adore the delicate lady like buttons down the front, so I'd add those details to the top.  I'm more showing this one for the bottom part of my gown.

    The dress is very unique. Not what I'd pick, but it does fit your description very well.

    @ 91011: I just saw this gown and thought of you....i think it's stunning, vintage and elegant.  It even has those classic covered buttons and a gorgeous jacket.

    @91011Bride: I like the first dress however, I would play with the sleeves a bit. I really like the second dressed you showed its gorgeous and modern!

    To me,this is more Grace Kelly inspired and the jacket can be removed.

    Thank you all for your wonderful feedback.  @MrsK2be, thank you so much of thinking of me and posting that dress.  Where did you find it?  I love it.  Once thing is missing... lace.  I love the style of the gown.  I'd want a higher neckline, but I really do like the concept.  Another look to add to my dream gown FAVS.  Thanks ladies!
