I have been searching all over the net to find my wedding gown. I have something specific in mind, but I haven't seen one that tick all the boxes yet. I am not sure maybe if you ladies can recommend a brand or come across a dress that would make me swoon?

I love lace, period. I am looking for one that has a beautiful low back or open back. I have seen many lace dresses with beautifully adorned back, BUT they are more or less in a shape that is trumpet/fishtail or more tight fitting in the bottom in general. (don't have the butt to go with it :(sad ) On the other hand, I want the bottom of my dress to be a bit more flare out. I see a lot of beautiful dress by Jim Hjelm. I particularly love this one (pls see picture). Love the back, love love love the delicate lace sleeves. However, I didn't like how it narrows down to the butt area ... and I wanted more lace on the bottom part of the dress itself.

In terms of the fit (how it flares out, I like this one (2nd and 3rd picture) by Benjamin Roberts. But I think the top part is bit too simple.

And you can see, I like my dress to have some sort of straps/sleeves. I would prefer to buy the dress instead of have it made.

I just got engaged. My fiance would like to have the wedding in Oct. And I will be traveling for 2-3 months, and I don't have my mom or girl friends to help me since I live overseas, so I am a bit (happily) stressed out. Any help would be so appreciated! :)
