can you post the pic on the right WITHOUT the sash? I''d like to see all three... at this point I think the sash works better on the dress on the left because it has less detail BUT I love the skirt on the right way more and would like to see the one on the right with/without sash from front view like that.... pretty please? I do like it with the sash btw just wanna see if THAT skirt looks better with or without
I do see what you are saying, but at the same time, all ballgowns have big bottoms, and I don''t think people feel the need to balance them out...so maybe it''s just the result of what we are used to seeing? And I am going for a glamorous look...but don''t worry, I''m not sure I entirely understand my own style...haha. I have a different kind of style that is hard to put a finger on...for example, putting my antique OEC diamond into a modern setting. I appreciate all different styles for their own kind of beauty, and that''s part of what makes the search for a dress very difficult. Antique, modern, glamorous, romantic, classic, I love them all! The only thing I don''t like is normal. That''s one of the things that made me decide agant the Liberty...it looked too normal to me, plus I didn''t really like the details on it.Date: 1/28/2007 1:20:35 PM

Oh, the FEATHERS! So, I think this help makes my point. The model is both tall and wearing the ridiculous feathers, and these both help balance out the bottom half of the dress and make it look more proportionate. And the model of the dress you like (the zig-zag skirt) is wearing some voluminous veil to balance out also.
For all these reasons I like you in the dress you tried on (with the symmetric pleated skirt) better than the assymetric skirt that you likebut neither of these really send me.
But if I''m just totally not getting your style then please ignore me!
I think I agree...of course it will depend on what I like in person (I need to be able to sneak a couple pics again).
HEY FF! Glad to see you''ve made some head-way! I agree with the sentiment that you''ve gone back to what YOU love...because truly, "Its all about you"
so my 2 cents....I like the RK with the hankerchief hemline, withOUT the sash. Maybe its just me, but I feel that the weight of the skirt is balanced by the length of the bodice, and that the sash cuts the length in half (therefore ''for me'' creating an imbalance). I can''t wait to see!!
of these two I BY FAR like the left one better... but I still prefer the handkerchief one - with the sashDate: 1/28/2007 2:43:24 PM

There are a couple more gowns that I want to see before I make the final choice...including these by Carolina Herrera, which I''m hoping I can get brought in for a trunk show:
then DEFINITELY the handkerchief one is best - it is the one that can handle drama the best IMO - the new left one is a little... I can''t say old fashioned but not... smooth? enough to carry feathers IMO. It''d be too much texture? I can''t quite put words to it...
I definitely agree with you...the handkerchief can pull of the dramatic feathers. Of the other two, I''m with you, I prefer the one on the left also. But we''ll see if I get to try them on...you never know what looks best. I was thinking that if I go with one of those, I could maybe still do a delicate feather piece in the shape of a flower, to make it more traditional looking to go with the dress. I''m so glad you see it the same way I do!
oh yes - I totally can see you... the handkerchief one reminds me of the 40''s a bit at least you can pull off that sort of dramatic flair on your head... the other one would look great with a feather flower type thing more like in the 20''s. Awesome!! Its funny, because a lot of times we respond with what WE like for ourselves and it is hard to step back and look at the trends someone else is going with and help them to figure out what they really love for themselves. I don''t think many of us could carry off the look you''re going for but you *certainly* can and I almost think you have a responsibility to do so hahaha!!! You are going to be GORGEOUS!!!!Date: 2/4/2007 10:51:18 AM

DOn''t know about mom yet...she''s going to come with me when I try them on in March! I can''t wait! I feel very confident that one of these is the right one!
