I told them I needed it for July.... even though the wedding is really in Nov I'll keep you ladies posted. I LOVE seeing everyone dresses so far!

Totally smart to tell them you need it by July, that way you don't have to worry or panic about it close to your date...(you're getting married just a few days after me!!!). Keep us posted and post pics when you get it. BTW are you wearing both or did you get both and will decide which to wear once you get your Gianinar. Is the Gianinar your TTD?

OMG OMG OMG MY DRESS IS HERE! I AM AT WORK RIGHT NOW AND I WANT TO PUT IT ON!!!!!

 

Ugh- and I cannot try it on until tomorrow- I'm driving 5 hours right after work to our new place because I have an interview tomorrow. I will post pics ASAP!

Oh, and yes, it's a great idea to tell them you need it sooner. I did cut it a little close with ordering time, I ordered at the end of March, I told them my wedding was June 7th (a month before) and just got it today.

I wasn't planning on getting one because of the heat also but my mermaid skirt doesn't quite have the mermaid flare I would like it to have so I'm thinking about ordering it, so let me know how it goes!

i really haven't lost that much - but thanks! i have a long way to go!

i gained 80lbs when i moved in with FI, so i am desperate to get it off - i just don't feel like "me". it has taken 10 months to get this weight off (only trying half-assed), but i need to buckle down. i was doing weight watchers, but i think i need a new method...hehe.
