Wedding Please help me find this dress!

[PearlDahhhling]

I purchased the Martha Stewart Weddings Summer 2008 magazine and there is an article on the wedding of Lilly Fink and John Harrington titled "California Dreamy" and she is wearing a Carolina Herrera gown and I AM IN LOVE with it! But I can''t find it ANYWHERE! If anyone else has this magazine and knows the dress I''m talking about, pleeeease help! Or, if anyone knows of any dresses that are simliar...? I''ll try to describe it for those of you who haven''t seen it. It''s a strapless A-Line gown with a satin top with a thin sash that is tied into a bow in the back and the bottom has an overlay with a pattern that looks like polka dots from far away but in the closer pictures they look like daisies. Haha that''s probably an awful description. Anyway, it''s adorable! And I love it! But I''m also looking for any other dress that has the same style and maybe the swiss dots or polka dots. I also love the Melissa Sweet Dora but would probably never pay the Melissa Sweet or Carolina Herrera prices. So if anyone has any input or ideas, thanks in advance!

I saw that and loved the dress too! I actually messaged Ms. Fink on a networking site and she said the dress is from Carolina Herrera''s 2006 collection, and that it is daisies and not polka dots. She said when she got the dress, they told her it was the last time they were going to be using the fabric, but she didn''t know if that was true or not. I''ve searched high and low for it and haven''t even been able to find a used one, but I will keep my eye out for you!

Thank you! Haha I actually stumbled upon her online and tried to message her too but I never got a reply. She''s probably gotten a ton of messages from random people who saw her wedding in the magazine though. But I appreciate your reply! And how CUTE that they are daisies! I love it! I''m thinking of having a spring wedding and I think that the dress would be just PERFECT!

Oh, do you happen to know if there is a style name or number for it?

Thanks!

HI I cannot help Pearl, I just wanted to wish you luck in tracking it down!! I fully understand how you feel, I am also looking for a dress.

You could try looking at knot bios and see if any brides wore it and if they are prepared to sell it. Its a long shot but still a shot.x
