Askalot's Gown

Sorry ladies for the delay, but I did purchase my gown on Saturday. Yes, purchased. The whole thing is paid for. It cost more money than I expected but I think it's worth it. Bossie said she thinks it's beautiful. I don't want to post it because IT IS SO UGLY ONLINE! I even had 2nd thoughts, but my mom said "Girl, that dress doesn't look anything like that". Also, can you believe it's not even a Maggie??????? I just knew that's what I was going to buy. But, I ended up with a Mori Lee gown.

Check this out. When I first got there, I picked out a few dresses I wanted to try on. Then, when I was at my last gown, I looked over and saw this gown that looked like my style. It has so many glass beads and swavorski crystals (just how I like it). I asked the girl, can I try that one on? Her response, that's not one that you picked. I said okay, but I think I'll like it. She said sure, no problem and that is the gown that's now MINE. :-) My son's grandmother started crying when she saw me in it. All I could do was CHEESE! :-)

Re: Askalot's Gown

Okay, here it is. I swear y'all BESTA not say Nathin' (nothing) slick! lmao Keep in mind it has A LOT of crystals and glass beading. Everywhere where those sqiggly lines seems to stand out, you can't see them because it's all beading (even at the bottom) Nothing what the pic looks like.

Re: Askalot's Gown

OMG!!!! Y'all are about to make cry! And I swear some of y'all need to be comedians - I am cracking up over here. I swear though, I wish I could see what y'all see in the pic. I wouldn't have given this dress a second look if I had seen it in a mag first. Maybe I am trippin'. But, it looks soooooooooooo much prettier in person.

My baby has the matching flower girl dress. Same thing goes for her dress. There's beading on her dress too (where you see the squiggly lines) and it's crystals down the sash. The only difference is her gown will be ankle length.

Re: Askalot's Gown

Ya'll, don't listen to this girl. The dress looks radiant on her. She told me to be honest about the gowns she chose, and I was. There were a few she tried on that didn't look good at all, and I told her. Byt as soon as she stepped out in this dress, it looked like it was made just for her. Whatever she says...ignore her...lol

Hey Bossie! Y'all Bossie is my MOH!

Bossie, you know I said the same thing to your butt after I got home! It just looks crazy online, to me. Girl, you gotta ask my momma how many times I asked her about the dress after we got home. Y'all think I'm playing. I am dead serious!

Askalot...I love it, what's not to love? I just adore the detailed beading on top. Is that a champagne trim on the bottom? You know i'm partial to that color

Re: Askalot's Gown

Thanks again plat and house. My ViBride sistas really make me feel like I made the right choice.

MsBoston, The dress is pearl (ivory) with Cafe (like a champaigne) trim. It comes in different colors. I was thinking about doing all ivory but I was told the dress looks much better two toned.

Ajia, she gets on my nerves!!! lmao

Agree. I'm so partial to two toned dresses. I CAN'T BELIVE I missed the flower girls dress. Adorable! Did I miss where it came from too?? I am still shopping around for all of the lil' one's apparal. But let me tell you now i'm NOT feeling $200 for a child's dress! If I can't find anything reasonable, I will be right up at Sears at Easter...watch me!

Re: Askalot's Gown

I think the flower girl dress is about $135 (with the discount). My mom is actually getting her dress. The dress is from the same place that I'm getting my gown from and the same company makes it. It's the only Mori Lee gown that comes with a matching flower girl dress.

If you go to a bridal store, that's the range of most flower girl dresses. My daughter was in my sister's wedding last year and it cost $120. Their dresses are about the same as the BM dresses - yes it's a shame. Some people get dresses from online stores, which in some cases is definately cheaper.

Ladies, here are pics of when I went to see my gown. I didn't try it on, so there's no pic of that. The gown is wrinkled so look past that. lol You can see the detailing a lot more in these pics.
