hers Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 I want to post pics but my fiance is a member of this site and sometimes looks at the threads i'm on. I don't want him to see the pics! Maybe I can tell him to stay off this thread! Link to comment
tinkerbellkj Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 YES, tell him to stay off!! I would love to see it! Link to comment
hers Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 Haha I'll tell him not to stalk this thread. I know he doesn't want to see my dress so I'll make sure he knows the pictures are on here. The pictures don't do it justice though. It's soooo gorgeous in person. Oh love!! I'm on my phone now though and can't post feom here. I will post the pictures of it when I get home! Link to comment
tinkerbellkj Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Awesome! So exciting, I cannot wait to start trying on dresses! Link to comment
hers Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 Did you guys pick a date yet? I can't remember if you said? I realized today that our engagement is going to be longer than our actual "dating relationship" was haha Link to comment
tinkerbellkj Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 not yet, we will when we go to see my parents... but it'll be between Sept. and Nov. of 2011 Link to comment
hers Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 I can't wait to hear how it goes with your parents!! Are any of you guys on the wedding channel forums? Link to comment
hers Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 Ok pics of my dress! Look how much it cinches my waist in!! yay!! and you can tell how long the train is...it's nuts!! i'm gonna get that taken off almost completely (will have just a sweep) and will probably make a little bolero to wear so my shoulders arent bare. LOVE. image removed image removed image removed image removed Link to comment
renaissancewoman101 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Hers, you look great in that dress. I agree with you about taking in the train a bit, but I don't think you should take all of it in, just most of it. I think you would still look good in the dress with a little bit of a train. You look sooo cute! I also love the sequins on the dress. Link to comment
hers Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 Well it's a brunch wedding and I don't want it to be too formal for the time of day we're having it. It'd look awkward I think. Plus his suit is going to be a little more casual and I don't want us to look mismatched. I'm gouing have a sweep train on it. Right now I think it's a cathedral train and it's just too long for my taste. But it's so perfect! Thank you for the compliments Link to comment
tinkerbellkj Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Oh WOW! I LOVE it!! It's beautiful!! Link to comment
hers Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 Thank you everyone!! I'm so excited about it. Link to comment
OptomisticGirl Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Oh I love it Hers! You look gorgeous in it! Def. A great deal. Link to comment
savagegirl Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Wow hers you look gorgeous! That dress is perfect, and what a steal! Congrats Sooo exciting! Link to comment
Valina Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 You look stunning in the dress. My wedding will be day time also, so I was worried about being "over dressed" for a while, too. My mom eventually talked me out of it by telling me to shut up because it was my wedding and my fiance and I could wear whatever we damned well wanted to. Not to talk you out of cutting the train (I would too, I'm a casual person and my dress has barely a hint of one) but because you also seemed worried about the fanciness level of everyones clothes.

renaissancewoman101 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I love the fact that it buttons up in the back and not zippers up. So cute. Link to comment

I mostly am just not comfortable in such a long train...it feels princess-y and I'm not that person at all. so mostly it's a comfort thing. I love the fact that it buttons up in the back and not zippers up. So cute. thank you! it ties up like a corset in the back, THEN it zips, THEN you do the buttons. Yikes! A lot to get ready! But it makes my waist look awesome! Link to comment
metrogirl Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 It's a lovely dress. Did you end up going to David's? Forgive me if you said that already and I missed it. I'm skimming through the thread and then I saw pics! Everything else I probably missed. LOL Link to comment
hers Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 I went to david's bridal and tried on a few dresses but they were out of my price range. This one I got from a consignment shop, brand new. It's a very expensive dress that I got for about 10 % of the original cost!! I love it! Link to comment
hers Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 I'm dying to hear an update from OptimisticGirl!!! Link to comment
