    I think I've written about 5 posts worrying about my dress.  My last post I explained how when I tried it on the previous time, it was so loose fitting and looked awful.  Thanks to the encouragement of bees, I went back and tried it on again.  She still struggled to get it totally fitted around me (hence the pic of her holding it).  I feel a little better, but I'm still considering getting a second dress. I don't know.  Some of the pics I'm awkwardly standing in an attempt to hold the fabric back.  She says when it comes in in my size, the waist should be a little less dropped and better fitted. I'd really appreciate honest opinions please!!! Thank you!!

    You should try posting the dress with the little link of the polariod with the tree next the the HTML link on the text box.

    Do you have a program like paint?  You can resize the picture with that.  All pictures need to be less than 1 MB in order to upload here.

    So are you saying that she can't fit the dress any more?  I think it looks great on your curves in the first picture but she is holding it.  If she can't fit the dress to your body like that, then you should move on.

    No - its the sample size so which is a 10 or 12 and I'm a 4.  Once it comes in my size, it shouldnt be a problem to fit.  Im sorry if I crash all of wedding bee trying to upload these haha.

    I think it's an absolutely beautiful dress and I think you look amazing in it.. And once it comes in in your size, it should be a lot better.. When I tried on mine, it was huge, and they had to clamp it back.. I really seriously do think it's a beautiful dress and you look gorgeous :)

    Then I think it's a beautiful dress and will look amazing once you alter it down to your size!  Mine was huge on top before I had my alterations.

    Thanks - I'm still worried if I look boxy.  I am only five feet tall, although I will wear heels.  I wonder if all the rouching and the dropped waist wasnt the best choice...if anyone feels that may be the case, please tell me:)

    You definitely don't look boxy- it gives you a nice flattering waist line! It looks great, but I'm of the "If you're not 100% sure don't buy it" camp. :o)

    that dress is gorgeous on you; once it comes in your size and is fitted by a seamstress it will be perfect.

    I think it is an absolutely gorgeous dress and will look perfect on you when it's the right size!

    If it's the fit and size of the dress you're worried about, I would stick with this dress...If there's something else that's bothering you (ie doesn't feel right, details you're unsure of, etc) then it might be time to think about alternatives...

    But personally, I vote for keeping it bc it's so pretty!!!!

    Thank you everyone for the responses and reassurance.  I will probably go try on some more dresses, just to compare.  It's hard because this was one of the first dresses I tried on, when I had one style in mind.  Now that more time has passed, I see so many other styles and wonder whether I made the right choice...especially for my body type.  I didn't stick to the rules for petites.  I'll repost when I try on some more! Thanks again.

    This dress looks stunning on you! There will always be other dresses out there to look at and make you second guess. But I think you purchased a gorgeous dress that is very flattering!

    It's a really pretty dress and I don't think it would make you look boxy at all once you get it in the correct size.
