    I posted previously that I never got to try my dress on before ordering it.  It's the Claire Pettibone Lucien! Well after waiting over 10 months for it to come in, I went to try it on yesterday and then took it to my parents' house for safe storage!  They had me wear a weird bra/bustier for the fitting that doesn't work with the dress so excuse that!  I think it's perfect!  A little long, but I'll have it hemmed :)

    Ugh I'm so jealous! Claire Pettibone. What I would give to wear her Twilight dress.

    Thanks everyone!  I was a little worried that people might think this dress is a little 'too different' than other wedding dresses, but it sounds like you all like it :)

    lemondrop- That kitty in your avatar is TOO cute! I have 2 kitties myself---love'em!!!

    Wowzers! What a pretty dress! I'm sort of jealous. :P It's different but, different in a good way. It's so soft and elegant and looks wonderful on you.
