I think your dress is actually prettier, but I'm just curious if you asked for those changes specifically. Also did you have it taken in at all or did it fit off the hanger?

007bride, thank you!!! =)
Yeah, I did ask Gianinarbridal to change the bodice. I wanted no beading at all and the grey sash like on some other dress.
I didn't do any alterations to my gown, it perfectly fits me =)

Love this thread. Just can't decide what I want to do in terms of my dress.

Did you give them any pics of the bodice you wanted or did you just describe it to them? Did you want the gathering at the top?

You really do look amazing in that dress! Your waist looks so small & it looks like it fits your figure better than the original dress & model! Looks like your wedding is coming up soon I'm sure you're getting really excited!!!

Hi Everyone,

I looked at this post a couple of times when I was doing my research on gianinar and you girls affirmed my decision to go with them! Well, it paid off, I just received my proof pics and they are amazing! I thought I would put them up to set some hearts to rest!

The first is the original; it was a La Sposa design.

I forgot to mention, there were things that I had them change, like the back and few other things. THey followed my instructions perfectly. My only issue with the dress is with the flowers. I didn't think they would be very good, but I have other ones that I got off etsy that I will have attached anyways!! I should get it next week, so hopefully it fits as great as it looks!!

I am glad to hear it and the dress looks beautiful!! I will be ordering from her soon, I am just trying yo decide between 2 dresses.

=)) I send them the picture of the other dress with the grey ribbon. Yeah, I love such gatherings on the breast area!! But I couldn't find a pic of these gatherings, so I just described it to gianinar.
I should say, they didn't understand me at first (and I had foreseen that!! that's why I asked them to send me a pic of the gatherings as soon as they are ready). So the first time they were way off my desires, but then they remade the dress and the top turned out perfect!!

Oh, thank you, 007bride!!!
I was really happy with my dress!! It does fits me well, but I never tried the original dress on. I just picked this particular gown on the internet =) Are you going to order a similar one?

Yeah, my wedding is in two days!!!! I am excited and nervous!! Hope everything goes well =))))
