Dress Question

I originally found the dress I liked on bridalonlinestore.com but that was even before I had colors and stuff sort of picked out. I just liked the style of the dress. I have since found something else (of course) But it is not exactly what I want. I like either a really dramatic bodice and understated skirt or an understated top w/ a dramatic skirt, i think having both will be too busy. Just MHO.

I adore the bodice on this dress but not the skirt:

I would prefer an A-line skirt similar to this one:

Re: Dress Question

I like the top of the first dress and I also like the a-line design to go with it.Are you having your dress made or you going to find a dress with the simlar design that you want?

Oh I plan to Rhony, I told her already that there is nothing in the world I love more than taking care of my own. 'Specially when they are professional, kind, and oh so deserving.

Re: Dress Question

I like both dresses. The secon dress was an option for me when I first started looking. I think to mix the 2 would be great.

MsLee, I would try all the dresses on first! I looked at a dress with a skirt similar to your first dress in the pic and balked, then my coordinator suggested I try one on and I loved it...I mean this dress was the LAST thing I would pick out for myself....but I'm glad I decided to just try on as many things as I could, even if it was a size or two smaller because if I liked it I would just get it in my size (according to measurements).... because if I had only tried on what i "thought" would look good, I would never have found MY dress....The only thing I didn't try on was something that had a color on it that I didn't want, or had long sleeves or was slim-fitting, and I still should have tried some of those on! A lot of the dresses I DID pick out for myself I ended up hating when I put it on...

Re: Dress Question

Okay I like this one but it hasn't really did it for me. You have anymore. Can I order it for you? I mean you are doing a lot of work. Oh yeah I am looking for that princess type skirt. I want to feel like or look like a princess. Thanks Niquey!!!!!!

Re: Dress Question

i think the bodice of the first dress is incredibly sexy. the way it gives the illusion of falling off the only thing i would worry about is that i have pretty ample bosoms and i don't want them to actually fall out - haha. I love the classic look of an A-line skirt. They are simply pretty.

Nique! Shut up and let me buy my dress from you! I'll be in NY twice in '09 for one cousin graduating from college and another just because i've never been so it works out well. You think you can send me a message of how much the first dress would run me with an A-line skirt?
