    I love this dress! I've been looking at it and comparing it to the Allure 8815. Beautiful!

    @RayRayFurious:

    Just looked up the Allure :) So nice. I like that the WTOO is so light. My Wedding is in August and it was the only dress out of 60 that I tried on that felt that I was wearing nothing!

    Allure 8815 is beautiful! i did end up getting the dress in July but its still not in yet :( ....i loved the ruching of my WTOO dress and yes it is lightweight as my wedding is in June. I do like how the ruffle start at the middle and go out to each side on the allure dress...that was the only thing holding me back from getting it...silly i know. I have a bunch of pictures if you want to see! heres another when i went back to purchaseWTOO Maria Brides??

    @WTOOBridetoBe:

     

    It looks SO nice. I bought another belt to go with the dress but the one on yours looks so nice. The one I tried on was so tattered and gross, I could not picture it. But now that I see yours looks like my new belt purchase was a waste of money!

     

    Mine only took 2 months to come in! I wonder why yours is taking so long. What colours are you going with for your wedding?

     

    Love that we have the same dress. So fun! It looks so different on both of us too :)

    @Lori27:

    My dress finally came in! picking it up next week to take to the lady who i making my bridesmaids dresses. My color is like an apple green, its hard to describe, a mix between sage and apple really. Not too bright but not as dull as sage either.

    And just with a cream color accent i guess...green is really the only color but i want all white tall flower arrangements and the twist is my bouquet is going to be hot pink(a replica of my picture) because its my fav.! and so are my shoes...its all a surprise though, my FI has nooo idea I'm throwing it in the mix.

    What are you colors?

    You all look so great in the dress! I wish I had pics of me in my Maria. My dress came in late September (I ordered it in July) and I keep worrying that for some reason, I'm not going to like it anymore but this thread is making me really excited for my first fitting. I'll have to take pics and post them. Are your dresses white or ivory (i can't tell). I got mine in ivory.

    Also, what accessories are you girls having? I haven't picked out a veil yet but I want something very simple and maybe elbow length. I don't think I'm going to wear a necklace b/c the bling of the belt is enough for me. I am envisioning drop earrings but haven't picked them out. Although I don't wear drop earrings ever and I fear it will look weird on me. (I like simplicity and elegance - which is why Maria is perfect). I bought this sara gabriel hair flower http://www.saragabriel.com/collection/headpieces/products/12-breanna although it semi irritates me that the center is gold not silver but I don't think anyone will notice.

    @ninerz113:

    Yay soo many Maria girls now!! I just had my first fitting last night and honestly when I put the dress on i had a small panic attack...like WHY did i buy this dress again?!?!!? It was pretty scary, but as soon as they put the belt on, it was as beautiful as I remembered. I hadn't seen or put the dress on in 6 months sooo, you may have a little shock, but wait for the belt haha. I bought the dress in Ivory as well and I am doing a fingertip veil with my hair half up half down i believe and i am also doing chandelier earrings and no necklace...I guess great minds think alike....these are the earrings i have picked....

    @WTOOBridetoBe: Everytime I second guess my dress, I come back to this post and it reminds me how great the Maria is! (I need to stop looking at pics of dresses on here because there's so many pretty ones haha) I have my second dress fitting next week and I'm so excited! You look so great in the dress! Hopefully I'll remember to take a picture this time so I can post mine too.

    I'm finally able to say I'm a WTOO MARIA bride!! I am so happy, I LOVE it and couldn't be happier. It's so beautiful on.

    Thank you to the ladies I PMed with. And thank you to the nice Bee who became a two dress bride and had to part with her Maria ;)

    Next stop, alterations... hopefully she isn't too expensive to take in.

    TY!! I'm crazy excited. I really do love this dress.

    I'm getting a few estimates this weekend. I don't need to get suited-up until October, but one lady suggested to get the hem and bustle soon then take it in Aug/Sept so I will probably do that.

    @WTOOBridetoBe: You look STUNNING!

    After seeing everyone without a necklace I'm rethinking my jewelry and going without one myself.

    I can't wait to add my pictures in 80-something days (well, 90-something there is a honeymoon :)

    Hi ladies, I also bought the Maria dress and just got it fitted for my Labor Day wedding.  When I tried it on in the store the lady who worked there showed me how it would look bustled and that's when I think I really fell in love with it.  At my fitting the other day, the seamstress didnt seem to bustle it the same way and I was wondering if anyone had a picture of the back bustled up or knew how to explain to the seamstess how to do it.  I appreciate any help you can give me!!!

    @melissablaxkburn: My seamstress placed the hook about half down the dress underneath a middle layer and pull it up to latch underneath the top or maybe 2nd from top layer. WTOO Maria Brides??

    Thanks a lot!
