    Hi bees, just wondering who else in the hive is wearing this gorgeous dress (my opinion is biased since it's my dress, hehe).  I went in for my fitting today and I fall in love with it more and more each time I put it on! 

    How is everyone doing their bustle?  And are you wearing a strapless/backless bra, or having cups sewn in?  I'd love to see pics!  :)

    I'm wearing the Lia in May! I looooove it! (And it looks amazing on you, by the way!) My first fitting is coming up soon, and I think I'm going to see if the dress holds me up without cups - if not, I'll have cups sewn in. I want a puffy bustle (I think the puffy style is a French bustle?).

    What kind of veil are you wearing? I'm wearing my hair up, and definitely want a plain veil without any edging, lace, or beading. The only question is the length - I tried it in the store with a cathedral-length veil, which I wasn't expecting to like, but I loved it! Haven't totally decided on this yet...

    ...and here's me (just in the sample at the store, not in my actual gown) with the veil I was describing.

    Yay!  So glad to have found another bee with this dress.  You look great in yours too!  What color did you get?  Mine is ivory.

    My seamstress is doing a french bustle on mine too-- I wish I took pictures of it because it's soooooo pretty!  I love the pouf!  I have cups sewn in and they work great (I'm small on top so I don't need all that much support). 

    As for veils, I bought this one, but now I'm wondering if I should get something more traditional.  I'd like to wear my hair 1/2 up 1/2  down, and I'm not sure my current veil will work with the hairstyle I have in mind.  Undecided

    I tried this dress on about a month ago and fell in love!  I'm now looking for it in my area!
