Wedding Gowns - You VS Model

[NJ_bride]

Paraisobeachbride2009-I love that dress! I saw it in a mag and wish i could have seen it in person. Funny cause it caught my eye cause that models hairstyle is exactly what I want to do. Got to find a close up. You look awesome!

I'm completely in love with my dress too, NJ! It's funny, the first time I went to that bridal shop, I didn't even notice it on the rack, the bridal shop coordinator picked it out for me, but I couldn't be happier with it! I love that hairstyle too and might consider doing something similar.

What a fun thread! Here is my dress (Maggie Sottero's Alexandria) on the itty bitty model:

 

 

Here is me in the dress (warning: not a good picture--I had to sneak the pic with a camera phone due to the store's stupid no picture taking policy. Also doesn't help that I'm barefoot in the picture, and the dress is 4 sizes too big! But you get the general idea!)

Bridget - That dress is gorgeous!! Even though it's way too big for you, I can see that you are going to look awesome in it!

 

Petals - You look so much better than the model, I love your unique dress!

Pretty dress, Bridget!

Everyone looks gorgeous! It's great to see the

dresses on 'real' ppl instead of on stick figures

Thanks, girls for your compliments! I was starting to worry that I looked horrible in the dress... My wedding date got unexpectedly moved up 2 months, so I had to buy a dress ASAP, and I felt like maybe I chose too quickly. I guess I'm at the point that a lot of brides go through -- bridal dress anxiety! I do, however, love Maggie Sottero dresses; those corsets really make your waist look tiny! And the price is great too! (Mine was $860).

 

Oh, and Anacgarcia--that dress is gorgeous! Who's the designer?
