Hey girls!
I just purchased my dress and it is the Cooper by Maggie Sottero! I was wondering if there is any brides that also purchased this dress and if any of you have pictures!!! I can’t seem to find any “Cooper” brides! Also after purchasing the dress and looking back at the pictures I took I noticed how wrinkled the material got around my stomach area and im really concerned that i will look sloppy…? Anyone else have that problem!? I know that will probably be the last thing I will be thinking about on my special day but Im still curious if anyone has that problem!! Thanks!!!!

There are a couple real brides on Maggie Sottero.com with it. You should be fine with it perfectly tailored to you.

@manda209: I am a “Cooper’ bride. I have noticed since I have started my alteration process I don’t have that problem. I hope this helps.

Hello! I’m looking at buying this dress too! Do you have any pictures? Also, does the material feel like satin? Thanks!

I ordered the Cooper but it hasn’t come in yet. Here’s a picture of me in the dress. Does anybody have pictures of this dress with a bustle?

im a cooper bride too, “my dress” came into the store last week and tried it on and was a better fit than the sample one, however when the alterations start it will look much more flatter on the tummy, im a small girl uk size 8 and i got a size 8 and was still alittle on the large side. i cant wait to wear my dress, its gorgeous!!!

Hey bees!!!! omg im so glad I finally found some Cooper Brides!!!!
@nebraskabride…..You look absolutely beautiful in the dress!!!! It looks like you didnt have the wrinking – bunching problem like I did in the middle.
My dress came in and I still seemed to have that problem. I think it is just too big on me in that area. Thanks for the comments they really do help.
Im thinking of adding crinoline or somthing to make the dress look fuller….did any of you been do that!? My frist alteration is in March. Any suggestions I should tell them on how I want it altered? as of right I feel like the dress does nothing for me.
Does anyone else have any pictures!? Thank you sooo much girls!

That dress looks great on you! Did you purchase it in white or ivory? I think I look better in white but the dress I had on is ivory.

Thank you! I cant wait to get alterations to it. Im thinking I’m going to add some crinoline to it to make it look fuller at the bottom and lay better. Not sure though! I ordered it in Diamond White. I guess its one step below White and one step ahead of Ivory. not tooooo white! Just the right color I feel!

The store I went to told me it wasnt avaliable in diamond white… That was the color I was looking for!! I was thinking of adding a trumpet slip under the dress.. it fills it out the same as the crinoline but whats great about it is if it gets annoying you can just slip it off. My friend added crinoline to her dress and said during the party it was annoyign her. Try it with a slip, it makes so much of a difference!

hmm thats so weird! I Def. got diamond white. Thanks for the heads up. I will try a slip then! I think somthing will make the dress just look likes it lays better. But it is so beautiful and elegant!
