Hi Ladies!!
So my dress fitting on Saturday went great!!! The dress is BETTER then I had hoped...I have to get it taken in in some areas but for the most part it''s fits perfectly...
Sunny: The veil is my favorite part...it''s what sold me on the dress! As far as the bustle goes, I''m not sure which on I like. I think the traditional one looks great, but I don''t like how it hides the beading under the butt area...I like the french bustle b/c it doesn''t hide anything...but it''s really poofy...Which one do you like?
Merrymunky: Thank you!! I LOVE the veil too!!
Cocolaw, princessplease: Thank you!!!!
Laughwithme: Thank you!! I''ll put your vote down for the traditional bustle...I''m so torn!!
I think the traditional bustle looks better with your train. I can get what you mean by the double French sticking out too much. Perhaps a single French wouldn''t be so poofy. Its tough with fit n flare gowns because if the French isn''t placed just right it really sticks out a lot. I know this because when I bought my gown she showed me a French and I hated it because it wasn''t placed right (just done quickly) but when I had my first fitting the seamstress took the time to pin it up correctly and it looked much better than the traditional. So if you are really not happy about hiding some of the beading on your rear ask them to pin up a single French and see how it goes.
OMG...that dress is gorgeous! And...it looks like a perfect fit! I love the veil (which if I saw it hanging up somewhere
I probably never would have said that). Just beautiful!
Thank you Clairitek, SeattleSweetheart, Sammy, elle, tyty, and gaby!!
I think the majority vote is for the traditional bustle...I do love the look of that, just wish there was a way around covering up the beading...
Clairitek, I hadn't thought about the single french bustle...I'll have to see how that looks at my next fitting. I bet your right...I'm sure the poofyness of the single is much less! Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks again ladies for your wonderful compliments!!
AMS, you look fantastic! Your dress is perfect for your CO winter wedding
. I like the traditional bustle best, but maybe a single French bustle would look good as well--I just think the double doesn''t flow with the lines of your dress.
