Found my gown (for real this time!), and my BM gown!!!

[Winks_Elf]

I am SO excited!!! My MOH and I went shopping this morning, for almost three hours. I almost chose one of the Sottero gowns I had been looking at, and Lori spotted some gorgeous details on a gown that really intrigued her. She took the gown, said "why don''t you try this one on." I put it on (didn''t look into the mirror while putting it on, I like seeing what everyone else is going to see when I first look), came out of the dressing room, and when I looked in the mirror everyone around me gasped and said "WOW!!!" I almost started crying I looked so gorgeous! It is NOTHING like what I thought I would select! I had been looking at very fitted dresses, mermaids, etc., and what I picked is a BALLGOWN! It has box pleats (never liked them), not a stitch of bling on the skirt, but the strapless sweetheart bodice is covered with Swarovski crystals, romantic embroidery, and other little crystals. It is stunning! I''m ordering it in Alabaster (a rich ivory color), and my bridesmaids'' gowns will be in European Cinnamon (a rich rust color). The link to my gown is here. The gown looks so much different in the rich alabaster color, plus I will be wearing a fuller crinoline. It has the corset bodice with a zipper over the lacing.

Both my MOH and I will be wearing boleros with our gowns, but I think the bridesmaids will be wearing opera length gloves.

My little princess''s gown...will be in ivory with cinnamon sash and roses.

My MOH emailed me pictures from the shopping trip yesterday. This is my gown! I think it looks a lot different than what the website''s picture shows.

It''s lovely, Wink!! Did you get to try it on with the sash that the model is wearing? I can''t see it in your pic, so maybe that''s part of why the two seem to look a bit different?

The BM gown is hot!

The dress looks way better on you than on the model (you look healthy and curvy while the model needs some high calorie food).

No, I didn''t but not surprising. Another gown was supposed to come with a bolero, and they didn''t have that either.

Congrats on finding THE dress!!!
