New Dress Trial

[jorman]

I had a previous thread showing the new dress and expressing my interest. Well, I tried it on yesterday and I LOVE IT! It fits perfectly and I took it home with me. For anyone considering this dress- it is worth trying on. It is double lined and comfortable! I am so excited!!!

Let me know what you think. (I cut my head off because I was making a really ridiculous face)

 

[jorman]

Here''s another with a much less ridiculous face.

 

[SoonIHope]

The second pic didn''t show up!

My comment for the first pic is: it looks GORGEOUS but I wish I could see your face!

I''m glad you love it though, it really does look like it fits you perfectly, and it''s soooo elegant!!!

 

[jorman]

ummm- would help if I attached it.

 

[jorman]

Here''s the back.
Oh and PLEASE ignore my nappy roots- I am getting highlights soon.

 

[Scintillating]

Oooh. Which dress is this? J Crew''s Avery?
Looks really nice on you, very slinky.

Scintillating...

 

[jorman]

Thanks Gals!

Yes it is the J Crew Avery! It isn''t as slinky in person as it looks in the pictures. It is a nice substantial fabric and hangs heavily to the ground. It is FABULOUSO! Hurray!

What shoes now? Any recommendations? We are getting married (eloping) on a cliff in Mendocino (actually Elk, CA, but noone has heard of Elk). The shoes I had before were a little blinged out since the dress was satin and shiney. What do you think?

 

[Scintillating]

Their silk tricotine is really lucious isn''t it? It has a very nice drape.
I wore the short sophia to a wedding last summer - I loved it!

Mendocino is beautiful!
FI and I vacationed down the pacific coast highway 2 summers ago. It was really romantic.
Your plan sounds lovely.

Scintillating...

 

[Mara]

ooooh, it looks great on you and makes you look nice and tall too!!

i''d do very strappy white heeled sandals. i don''t like typical wedding shoes though.

oh and make sure the twins are strapped in, in that first pic they are kind of floating off to the sides, one of my boobie pet peeves!!

 

[selflove]

SEEEXXXXY!!! You look gorgeous--I''m sure your FI''s jaw is gonna drop when he sees you!

Can you wear heels on the cliffs? SOmething sexy like strappy stillettos?

 

[jorman]

The "girls" is the one issue I have- can''t wear a bra...
any suggestions??

Thanks for all the sweet comments! I am really excited about it! This dress it THE dress and I am relieved and even more ready to get married.

Can you wear heels on the cliffs?

J crew makes these - sexy and classic.
I dunno heels on cliffs? is that safe? Maybe just for the post-cliff celebration?

Scintillating...

 

[jorman]

I love those! I didn''t even see them! THANKS!
The cliff is hard and has a path so I think the shoes will be good and then I will take them off for sandy beach barefoot fabulousness pictures.

 

[selflove]

Those shoes get my vote! And they''ll be easy to take off when you get to the beach and won''t have any little crevices for sand to get into!

 

[Mara]

you can use double sided tape to push the twins more towards the center, experiment a bit with that but don''t use too sticky tape, aka NO DUCT TAPE. ow. models use the double sided stuff all the time but im not sure where you get it?

those shoes are cute!

 

[DonaBella]

For the double sided tape--used just for this purpose--check Nordstrom''s lingerie section, Victoria''s Secret or Frederick''s of Hollywood. I bought mine at a local Steinmart, but I''d call these and other places before driving to them. If they don''t have it, they might be able to refer you to whom has it...just a thought...

Beautiful dress BTW...

 

[pebbles]

Beautiful dress!

hey....

are you not wearing your ring in those pictures?

 

[FireGoddess]

You look gorgeous in the dress!!

 

[jorman]

I think I LOVE the shoes, I know I LOVE the dress

, as in puffy heart love...and I will have to research all sorts of sticky hold "em" in and up devices...I feel very supported in the dress it is the side view that I worry about and seeing adhesive...
It is pretty open in the sides:

 

[jorman]

Oh and Pebbles- I AM wearing my ring, but you can''t see it. The mirror reversed the image of me, but my left hand is taking the picture, but here is a shot where you can see it.

 

[jorman]

Trouble- JCrew doesn''t have the shoes that scintillating posted, but they do have these.
What are your thoughts. I like them too...
Thanks!

jorman....
wow! your dress looks fab

i think i like that second pair of shoes even better than the first!

 

[Kaleigh]

Awww, you look so pretty in your dress, love the shoes too. Just stunning!!!

 

[Tybee]

Wow,

I was blown away to see that it was the JCrew dress! I love it! It''s really lovely. I mean REALLY lovely!

A friend of mine bought a JCrew dress, and it doesn''t work as well on her, so initially I wasn''t that impressed with their dresses (oh, does that sound mean? I hope not---) But maybe it just goes to show that you need the right body.

You look lovely!

Tybee

 

[LizzieC]

I love it!

It''s just gorgeous and you look SPECTACULAR! Love both sets of shoes too!

Like Pebbles I initally thought you weren''t wearing your ring too! But then I figured out the whole mirror thing... though it took me a second!

 

[flopkins]

you look fantastic!!!!! love it!! and I love the second pair of shoes even more than the first!!! the cinching matches your dress back kinda... I love them!!!

 

[honeybee]

I absolutely love, love, LOVE

that dress! You have the perfect shape to wear it too, it looks just beautiful on you, perfect for a beach/costal wedding. I''ve been looking at that same dress for a while , i just don''t think my "girls" would participate very well...there is not enough double sided sticky tape in this world...... i''m so jealous!

btw....the second pair of shoes would look lovely w/this dress.

 

[dani13]

I love the dress- its perfect!
And you cant go wrong with either of those shoes!
I love it all!

 

[Skylah]

The dress looks fab on you! Congrats!!!!

As for the twins, I agree about reigning them in. I wore these undercup thingies for a cocktail dress with that exact top. It''s like a sticky demi-cup and they come in flesh tone, white, and black. Can''t remember the name , though. Got them from Nordstrom''s.

Oh, and both shoes are lovely, though I like the first one better.

 

[maddie80]

I think those are called nu-bras. I tried one with that same dress and it was fine, but I would have had to cut the sides of the nubra down a little bit (they have these weird tabs that come around the sides of the cups that were slightly visible because the side view of the dress is so open.

I love this dress - it was going to be my dress when we planned to get married on the beach but now (alas) we are getting married in the mountains so it won''t work out as well. I have to return it and restart the dress search.
