oh wow...Ginger, you don't have to worry, Mexico is not like Cuba where Americans can't go (even..UN just voted today to end the embargo), therefore you will look very hot even with a bit of seasonal hohoho fat on you.  My mom's confidence went up 100% after our mom-daugther trip (she called it sisters trip) in Playa Del Carmen.

 

I am thinking of restart my hot yoga routine after the new year (due to the lack of motivation, I postpone it til new year...heehee) to tone up a bit...and hire a dancing instructor...so I can have a perfect first dance with my FI. 

 

As for the taffeta, people can add extra $$$ to make their dress with silk taffeta, it is very light, soft fabric with a subtle shine.  However, it isn't suitable for TTD.  I did my TTD style engagement pics in a runway silk chiffon Prada dress, and errr...I totally wrote off the dress after the session.

Hi, i order my dress from dresillyme a month ago. It came this morning and i'm pretty happy with the result. This is the pictures from the web, dress design originally from Essense of Australia.

Ok because I had such a hard time finding info on buying a Chinese knock off I want to post a detailed review. This dress is gorgeous. Really well made. Great details, there are little beading details

Okay ladies, got it on, and it fits perfectly! Maybe needs a little tweaking around the bust...but nothing really! I will attach a few pictures of it, don't mind my lovely hair do!!

Thanks guys!

 

Prettypig, I have looked at the silk taffeta option and I actually think it is more lightweight than the polyester taffeta.

 

I went to the fabric shop today and had a look at the taffetas and all of them were really lightweight (which I really didn't like! lol).

 

Thanks for your comments Ginger, hopefully it is taffeta!

My dress came yesterday! I ordered it and 18 days later it's already here in my hands. When I opened it I could not believe how much it looked like the Pronovias I tried on at the bridal shop. I tried it on and the fit is perfect- it's a little snug which is good because I have about 5 lbs to lose before my wedding and when I sent in my measurements I took a 1/2 in off my hips and waist knowing that I had that weight to lose. There are couple places that don't seem to lay quite right but from what I can see it seems like an issue of needing to be pressed/steamed and not with the actual workmanship. I'll try to post pics as soon as I have someone to take some.
