LauraBabe08 Cut Rock Total Posts: 228 Last Post: 5/11/2009 Member Since: 10/3/2007	I thought I would finally post the pics that I have of my wedding dress. I purchased it about 2 months ago and now I am just waiting for it to come in! Please excuse the terrible pics - these were taken the first time I tried it on (it was actually the first dress I ever tried on) and I wasn't really posing cute or anything b/c at the time I couldn't believe that this would be the "one." (I tried on more gowns after this one, then went to a different salon and I kept coming back to this one) I lost about 18 lbs since the pic was taken and I cropped my face out of the first one b/c I look weird. Also, the veil that I purchased is much different ( I forgot to take pics - I will take some when I have my fittings). Its fingertip length (I think) and double layer with the bottom layer lined in satin. Its very clean and chic. I ordered the gown with a longer train (it comes as chapel length). I had 24'' of fabric added. I used to love long trains and big bustles but lately I have been thinking maybe that was a bad idea. I will have the seamstress take off the extra fabric if it looks bad when the gown comes in. Anyway, its made my Romona Keveza and the fabric is natural silk. I purchased it at Harriet Kassman in Washington, DC. ( I highly recommend it there- small salon, personal attention, VERY knowledgeable staff, wonderful experience) * March 14, 2009 *

Are you going to wear that veil too? ETA: Never mind...I just read the whole post about the veil Either way, the dress is stunning. _____________________________ Feeling Blue and Blech Today

marchswallowbird Ideal Rock Total Posts: 849 Last Post: 9/28/2009 Member Since: 4/22/2008	Laura, is the veil you have on in the photos a waterfall veil? I'm interested in that type, but have yet to see it actually on someone. I'd love to see photos of your new veil as well. Oh! And I love your dress, especially the back!

LauraBabe08 Cut Rock Total Posts: 228 Last Post: 5/11/2009 Member Since: 10/3/2007	Thank you everyone for your kind responses. I am very simple in my style so the dress is perfect for me. Marchswallowbird - I think it is a waterfall veil. It sorta cascaded down and eventually ended in a point at the bottom. I did like it, but didn't love it - a little too complicated for my gown perhaps? * March 14, 2009 *

If you like the look of the long train, it can't hurt to buy it with the extra fabric like you did. It's easier to take off than to add!
