    @KES: I just found this dress online and fell in love with it! However, they do not sell it anywhere near my home, so I'll have to drive 3.5 hours one way to a different city to get it. They won't tell me how much the dress cost over the phone - do you mind letting me know how much the dress is so I can at least have an idea before I make the long road trip? Thanks!

    @KES: Also - does the dress look very similar to the picture in person? I hope the beads also look nice because sometimes a dress looks so different from how it looks in pictures!

    Nati-Lyte    May 29, 2011   Wedding in Bristol/Newport RI

    I bought my dress!!!!  I went home to meet with vendors and made a stop at a bridal shop and fell in love with the delilah gown from winnie.  We're adding a bit more poof under the dress so it looks more like a dropped waist and the train will be behind, not on the sides like the picture below. 

     

    I'm so in love with it!!!!  Can't wait when i get back from deployment in April to do alterations.

    :) Went back to the bridal salon and finally got a picture of me in my Winnie!!  This is the sample, my dress won't come in until October, but I won't get to see it until April when I'm back in the States. 

    I love it. :)

    I bought the "nali" and I love it!!! I also tried on the "Ivalynn", but it was a bit plain for my taste. I'll post pics of both :)

    I'm a Winnie Bride, too! I Just bought my dress yesterday at a sample sale, $299!

    I don't even know which dress she is because she was discontinued, but I loved her so much I bought her then and there!

    Would you ladies (any of you) mind sharing the cost of your gowns? I am searching everywhere and can't find the cost of Winnie Couture gowns.

    I just bought my winnie dress today. I purchased the Katarina in cream pearl. Now I am starting to freak out that I should have gotten traditional white. Do you think I am looking too into the tones and no one will really notice because I am the only one in white? I felt that the cream pearl was softer on my skin, but I don't want people to think my dress is dirty.

    Thanks RoRoRo!! You got my confidence back!

     

    What length veil is everyone getting? Any recommendations for length on the Katarina? I am very petite!

     

    I would love to hear your opinions!

    @jbride21: I bought Kataina in Pearl and had a panic attack about color once it came in. I made an appointment to try it on and I took more pictures in different lightening and standing next to my bridesmaids in their dresses. I felt a ton better and was again able to sleep at night. The dress looked perfect! I wore a catheral veil and I'm petiteSmile

    I just bought the Winnie Katarina in Cream Pearl today too. I am a little worried about the color matching the veil or the grooms shirts or looking yellow next to anything white at my wedding! Does anyone have pictures of them at their wedding in the Cream Pearl Winnie dresses??!?!

    HELP PLEASE!! I have the Katarina in cream pearl, I love the golden color in takes on in certain lights...but it is quite a challege to find the right shoes!!! I am considering the the glitter champagne Jimmy Choo slingbacks but I don't know!  What shoes are you ladies wearing?? It is impossible to match that color in a satin shoe, so I figured go with a glittery, sparkly shoe to match the waist belt.  Please post your shoes Winnie Brides!!!
