MemberLet me try again, the straps weren’t actually attached they were just laying there so they will be set a little further out and they will snap in and hook around the neck, thanks goodness for the gatsby!

Member@dereksbride2b – how fun that my dress could help! you look absolutely beautiful in yours 🙂 You must be so excited – you’re so close to getting to wear it for real!
Member@Emily, The store didn’t have my dress in Ivory either, so I only got to try it on in the champagne/gold, and hoped that I liked it!! I was really nervous for those three months, looking at it every day on the MS website hoping it would look good on me in those colors!! The store told me they ended up ordering it in ivory/pewter after they saw my dress come in because they thought it was so pretty.
Don’t worry you’ll love it! My pictures make it look much whiter than it actually is, it looks just like the picture!
Member@project – you read my mind! the only pictures I’ve seen are the model’s and a few pictures that are very bright/overexposed, and the dress looks soo white! I loved the gold color because it felt a little softer/more vintagey, so I’m really hoping I don’t lose that with the ivory. so glad that you had the same experience I did, and love the dress!! my countdown continues…
MemberThat dress looks so beautiful on both of you ladies! Congrats to all of you for picking a fab dress. 🙂
MemberEMILYM2010- I am so excited! I am not sure what I am going to do at work or at night when i am not going to have to plan this wedding!!! I guess it will be baby making time!! HA!!
What color did you get your dress in? Your dress has so much beautiful detail on it. I think our two dresses are timeless. If I ever have a daughter (which i really want boys) but….I would love it if she wore my dress. I feel with the way ours look they could be worn 30 years from now.
Member@dereks – my dress is ivory with pewter beading, same as project’s. I loove the detail, and the vintagey appeal – I definitely agree that our dresses are timeless.
MemberWhat a beautiful dress!
Congratulations!
You can never go wrong with Sottero! 
MemberOh wow! You ladies look gorgeous in those dresses!
My dress is the Gatsby too! Mine is in champagne/light gold with pewter accents and it’s arriving on Monday so I’m totally nuts right now! Have had second thoughts because it’s been so long since I tried it on and I kept asking myself if I really looked as nice as I thought I did or if I remembered wrong. It’s hard to find pictures of real brides wearing the dress, so I’m so glad Projectwedding13 has hers up here!
Projectwedding13: If you don’t mind me asking, what size is your Gatsby? I’m 5’10 & I ordered a size 10 despite never having tried it because the sample was a size 8 and it was too snug!
MemberPrincess Panda: Sorry I never have time to get online anymore! It’s a size 8, I thought about getting a 6, which is what they told me to get, but I didn’t want it to be too snug as well. So I bought a size a little bit bigger, and once you tighten the corset correctly it fits perfect, I barely have to do alterations, just the straps shortened and a hem! Hope your dress fits you well! GL!
MemberI loved this dress so much! Its so vintage! These are a couple of my bridals
Member@alittle – your bridals are gorgeous!! I love to see my girl in action 🙂 question – did you end up bustling the back for your reception/dancing, or did you just deal with the train in the back? I really don’t like the idea of a bustle, but I don’t want to be tripping over the dress (or have others do so!) all night.
Member@Emily,
You might want to do a bustle if you’re going to keep the train long, since it’s sheer material it will tear very easy if anyone steps on it or if it catches on anything. I’m planning on cutting off all of the train of the underneath dress and have the train be completely sheer, that way the bustle isn’t so heavy.
Member@projectwedding: thanks for the advice. that totally makes sense, but I’ll have to think about it. I’m having the dress shipped from out of state, so I’ll have to do the alterations on my own (ie find a good seamstress as opposed to getting them done at the store). that added to the cost means I was hoping to not have to get too much done (of course, we’ll have to see how the dress fits when it arrives next month!). I like the idea of removing some of the material so that the bustle isn’t too ‘bustly’ though 🙂
