Got my dress!

[sunnyd]

It was the second one I tried on out of 3 total. And because of that, I''m terrified that it''s not the right one!

Here are some terrible pics of it (mom''s camera skills are lacking). It has the ruffly back I wanted, and I''m turning it into a sweetheart neckline.

San Patrick Leanora, which I can''t find anywhere online. Can anyone help with that?

So what do you think?

 

[sunnyd]

Oh yeah, and no alterations needed besides sleeves and sweethearting! Woohoo!

 

[Sparkalicious]

You were at the Wedding Show!!! I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to meet. We spent ALL day Saturday there.
I'm SO happy for you! I love, love, love your dress and think that it is totally fabulous! You look fantastic in it!

Congratulations on finding the one! YAY Sunny!!

I'll see what I can do to find a pic online. Which year is it from?
I'm actually heading out to Princess Bride today to see another Pronovias dress - Ladera. Maybe they might have pics of your dress there??? I'll let you know.

eta - OMG!

That train is STU.NNING! Absolutely incredible. Love, love, love it! You lucky girl! Woooooooo!!!!!!!

 

[pjean]

That back is delicious!

 

[elrohwen]

I think it''s gorgeous, especially the back!

 

[KatyWI]

How stunning!!! I''m so partial to lace... it''s so romantic!

Don''t worry about not having tried many on! I only tried on 7 dresses, and the first four were only because I had made an appointment and shown up for it, and when they didn''t have anything I liked, I figured I might as well try some stuff on anyway. The third of three at Pronovias was the one I fell in love with... I''m wearing the Manuel Mota Sagrera!

I love it, ESPECIALLY the back... don''t think it''s not the right one!!! It looks gorgeous on you

 

[ams0124]

Sunny that dress is STUNNING!!! I love the back and that train are to die for!! It looks just amazing on you!!

 

[sunnyd]

Spark! LOL I wondered if you would be there! We were there Sunday for pretty much all day. My poor arm is suffering from lugging all the flyers around.

I have no idea what year it''s from. I didn''t look at the tag and they took it off after I bought it. "Leanora" is on the receipt though. ???

I''m so excited because it was $300 less than what I budgeted for, plus we got a free cruise ticket with Norwegian!

 

[sunnyd]

Aw thanks you guys, I think I needed your reassurance, as weird as that may be!

 

[sunnyd]

One last pic...

You''re joking! What a steal! You made out like a bandit! That is amazing!!!
Basically you got half of a honeymoon and a dress for $300 less than you thought - could you do any better??!!

If you got it from Princess Bride, why don''t you give them a quick call and ask them to send you some pics, if they are able??

I''m so glad that FI was there to help lug around that bag b/c after a little while it got super heavy!! Lots of nice freebies though. Glad you had a great time and got such an amazing dress! I can''t tell you how much I love that train!!

Pjean said it best - It IS delicious!!
I''m all about the tiered ruffle!! I just can''t find one that is right for me.

 

[sunnyd]

That''s a good idea, I should call them. It was from Princess Bride.

Hehe that''s what sold me completely on the dress. Everyone was asking if I liked it and I just kept gesturing to the train. Hahaha! Maybe that''s why I''m freaked, because the top isn''t what I pictured. Though I guess with my $300 I could have some crazy things tailored...

I can''t wait to see your dress, whatever you choose. The Ladera kept popping up on my search yesterday, it''s gorgeous!

 

[cammy85]

I think your dress is absolutely stunning. That train is to die for. I

it!

I definitely think you''ll be able to get the alterations you want with the money you saved - I can''t wait to see pictures of the finished product!

 

[sunnyd]

Duh me, it's LEADORA, not Leanora...is it Friday yet...?

No prob ... I tried looking up Leadora and couldn''t find it online either. Sorry.
Glad you like the Ladera but you know what ... I don''t think it even comes close to your train! That is perfection.

Your $300 savings will serve you well. Once you fix up your sleeves or make it strapless and sweetheart the neckline it will be like a different dress to you and much more suited to your vision likely so what could be better than that!
You did awesome! Don''t even sweat it!

Thanks, by the way, I can''t wait to see either ... I wish I could make a decision or find "the one"!!

 

[galvana]

OMG, LOVE IT

 

[tessari]

Beautiful! Very romantic look....

 

[Dreamgirl]

SUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!! THIS IS SO FREAKING EXCITING!!! (You know I had a similar style in mind 'Panda' as you did too!) This is very similar to that style. I just love the Pronovias line gowns......mmmmmmm mm!!

It looks gorgeous on you. This is THE perfect dress.

Great that you got it for $300 less than you had a budget for too! Wooo! Was this gown on sale? I see a "gown sale" sign behind you...

I have no idea why I'm so excited right now

lol! But I really truly am so happy for you!!!

 

[sunnyd]

LOL Dream!! I remember! It sure was on sale! I got the sample at a wedding show. I don''t even mind sharing prices...it was originally $1579, marked down to $1099, then she took off $200 = $899!

Plus free cruise ticket and a veil! I can''t even believe my luck!

Okay my fear is turning into complete excitement...thanks everyone!!

 

[Dreamgirl]

oh that is AWESOME! (high five!) my goodness....even $1579 seems like a steal for that gown. With all that detail to it.

I''m so glad you got an amazing deal on it too though! That just makes it even more better.

Yeah, you have nothing to fear at all!!!!! It''s perfect.

 

[bee*]

It''s absolutely stunning sunnyd! It looks fab on you. The train is gorgeous

 

[AmberGretchen]

I love it - I think the dress is gorgeous, and will be perfect once its tailored to fit you. I love that the top is simple and classic and not overdone, but then there is that really fun ruffle detail in the back

 

[PilsnPinkysMom]

Sunny- that gown is STUNNING!! You look 100% divine. Holy-gorgeous-figure! And what a steal, too... No need for regrets on this gown, it really looks fabulous.

 

[Winks_Elf]

OMG I LOVE the back of that gown!!!

Spectacular!

 

[Winslet]

Absolutely loving the back!

 

[meresal]

Looks BEAUTIFUL Sunny!! Congratulations on your fabulous day!! You made out like a bandit

 

[Sparkalicious]

Sunny - Just came back from my Princess Bride visit. I was inquiring about pics of your dress possibly and they didn''t have anything but she did mention that it wasn''t San Patrick ... She suggested checking under La Sposa?? It''s so confusing b/c they are all under the Pronovias umbrella!!

I hope this helps and you can find your pic!!

 

[Mediterranean]

That''s just beautiful! I love the detail on the hem, and the alterations you chose (the sweetheart, particularly) are really going to make this pop! You''re going to look STUNNING walking down the aisle!!!

 

[glueck]

What a beautiful gown! The ruffles are to die for! So romantic and shows off your great figure! That is YOUR dress!

 

[violet3]

That is gorgeous on you!
