Dreams do come true!!! Dress pics inside! :)

sammyj Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,216 Last Post: 11/5/2009 Member Since: 8/28/2008	Ok...so I've been holding in a secret for the past two weeks. I bought my dress!! Ever since I registered on PS I've been raving about the Melissa Sweet Fern. It's been my dream dress for months, then I tried it on in a salon, and my dream became a reality. Well, sort of, as I wasn't about to pay the $6100 + 13% sales tax (CAD) for it! So, immediately after trying it on, my mom did some major googling and found a Fern for sale on Craigslist. After many emails and a couple of phone calls, the dress was shipped to me in Canada from Atlanta, Georgia...for less than a third of the regular price!!! Weeee!!!!! I picked up the dress on Wednesday and took some self pics. Warning: they are NOT fabulous pictures. Surprisingly the dress fits me wonderfully (except for the fact that the previous owner is 4" taller than me and wore 4" heels...major shortening is required!). I also need to either find a great undergarment to hold up my girls or have bra cups sewn in? I'm not sure....I need advice in this area. I should add that my body is not normal. I wear a size 0/2 and 32F. So, without further ado, my Fern.

princesss Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,575 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 3/18/2007	Beautiful! That dress really suits your figure. A girl I know from HS wore that dress and I was totally in love with it. I'm so glad we'll get to see your wedding so I can stare at it a little more. ______________________________________________ "It's hardest to love the ordinary things, she said, but you get lots of opportunities to practice."

brandy_z28 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 930 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 5/23/2008	Gorgeous dress! Congrats! I'd most definitely wear a bra or have cups sewn in. I did neither and while my dress held my 38DD girls up fine for the fittings (which is why I decided I didn't need anything extra) wearing it for hours going from sitting to standing and moving around I had to pull it up and adjust a lot! It had a corset back and I thought for sure that I would be good but that was not the case and I'd without a doubt advise you to get some more support! When I would sit the corset would cinch in at my waist and the boobies had more room to move about and cause the top to fall over a bit. DH really liked it but I was a bit uncomfortable having to keep tabs on the girls! B
