Wedding Orange Wonder Dress is in...

[Gypsy]

and it's actually quite lovely for a BM dress or Prom dress.

Okay so my expectations were REALLY low but still!

The tail is complete detachable, and without it the dress has a great straight aline hem.

And it come with optional straps.

It's NOT straight stain. The satin is the underdress and the accent banding but the dress is chiffon. It's got great construction, boning and shape. The waist hits just right and the satin band in the front is actually a nice accent-- rhinestones and all.

And the orange is a little brighter than I was expecting-- works great for my wedding but isn't the most flattering shade on. I have a burnt orange sweater that looks great on me, colorwise, and I was hoping for that shade as it's a deeper and darker orange that I think is more flattering to the complexion. Still someone with lighter coloring than me could carry this puppy off.

Overall. Not a bad buy. I'll find someone who needs a dress. And if I don't... I'll donate it, not a big deal.

What, no photos?! You really need to model this thing for us! Pretty please?

 

[SarahLovesJS]

Ditto, we need photos!!

 

[Gypsy]

After dinner, once John gets home. I will post a pic. I bought it for my BM and she''s couple of sizes smaller than me, but I think it will be okay for a frontal view pic.

 

[Gypsy]

It''s two sizes too small... but you get the idea. It''s a LOT better than I thought it would be. For a BM dress, it ain''t bad.

You''re right! Not too bad...I know you said the color''s not the most flattering, and could be better, but it''s not so bad either!

And give Noel a kiss for me!

 

[FacetFire]

I kinda like the color! It looks nice on too!

 

[SarahLovesJS]

Yeah, it''s actually not that bad!

Hehe. I don''t love the color too much either, but the dress itself is pretty nice.

I like how the bodice is nice and structured and the skirt is floaty.... the length is nice. I also personally like the color... but I guess it can be hard to pull off for some skin tones...

 

[October2008bride]

Wow that looks way better than I expected! It is actually quite nice!! And that colour is super flattering on a lot of skin tones.

 

[miraclesrule]

Yeah, much better than I had imagined. And when a person can carry that color, it''s a great color to wear.

::::btw, those black dresses from Nordy''s that I ordered even though they weren''t going to ship until 8/15? I''ve already received two of them. But I will be sending all three back. We officially have 12 bridesmaid dresses for three BM''s:::::::

 

[FrekeChild]

Not bad at all Gyps. I was imagining...well...no comment. But yeah...Not bad.

Definitely a person with the right skin tome would look really nice in that dress

Without the scary train it looks good

It''s definitely better than I thought it would be! If it was a different colour, it would be amazing!

I''m actually kind of disappointed. I clicked on this link needing a good laugh, and instead....it actually looks half decent. As far as orange goes, I actually think it''s a good orange (from the my computer resolution anyway) I get kind of a peach-orange. My sister has a shirt that color and it looks good on her. So did your bridesmaid try it on?

 

[tberube]

It''s cute! Good work...

 

[calidaisy]

i actually like your dress--it''s infinitely better than these jcrew dresses my maids are wearing!
