My Maggie Sottero Dress

[amberlynne87]

Well I did it. I went to a bridal shop that specifically works with Maggie Sottero to try the dresses on that I found on the internet. The only way I was walking out of there with a new dress was if it beat my first wedding dress. Well, it did. It's a brand new style from Maggie and wasn't even one of the dresses I saw on the internet. I am absolutely in love with this dress and it looks amazing. It is perfect in every way!!! The one I tried on was a size 12 (I am a size 4) so it was way to big but they clipped it up for me. The dress was also really long, made for girls who are 5'9. Mine will be a little bit shorter. It is in diamond white and cost over $1,000, but is well worth it!! I am so happy that I went to the bridal shop and tried the dresses on. I feel a lot better about this wedding gown than the other. Don't get me wrong, the other dress is gorgeous and looks great on me but I wasn't feeling it any more. This dress is the one for sure!! =)

 

Here are the pictures. Don't mind my facial expressions, I wasn't ready for any of the pictures. hehehe

 

here is the dress one me

and on the model

The dress on the model is in light gold. My dress will be in diamond white which is a light ivory color. I will be having the straps removed (they look good, but they are really itchy and I like the dress better strapless). The back is corset, so it will match by bridesmaids dresses a little better but I will still stand out as the bride. =) Oh and the veil comes with the dress (optional), but I will be wearing it a little differently. The bridal consultant showed me different ways to wear the veil. I am going to have the veil bustled. I have to wait until January for my actual dress to arrive but that's okay. The bridal shop keeps the dress for me in a fire proof safe and they steam/press/etc. the dress and place it in a body form and a protective garment bag safe for flying. So I am really happy with not only my dress but the bridal shop as well.

 

Let me know what you think! Also, I am selling my other wedding dress. I already posted a thread about it. Thanks!!

Well, I thought you looked pretty in your other dress, but this dress is fantastic and you look beautiful in it! The veil is pretty too - how did she tell you to wear it differently?

Congratulations on your new dress!

Pretty dress! I'd love to see how to wear the veil differently, and to see your veil bustled

Yes! I tried that one on as well. But, it was very similar to my Alfred Angelo wedding dress so I didn't go with that. It's a gorgeous dress though!
