Hi everyone!
I think this is my first post in the BWW board - hi hi! My lovely boyf and I got engaged back in April, and will get married at home in Ireland next July. Right now, we''re living in NY.
So anyhoo, I''ve started looking for a dress - who knew there were so many styles?! I had a session at Kleinfeld about a month ago - the girl was LOVELY, and I ended up really liking the top of one Pnina Tornai dress, and the skirt of another (Pnina) - apparently they can fuse them together to make one dress.
Well, cut to yesterday, wedding dress shopping Round Two, when I went to the Amsale salon on Madison Avenue. Ladies, I think I may have found my dress!!! (budget chat with the parents allowing...)
It''s called "Ella" and it''s just gorgeous. I''m nearly 6 ft tall, US size 6/8, with smallish boobs and bigger bum/thighs (good old Irish genes!), and this dress plays up my good bits while hiding my bad bits. And it has pockets!!! In the skirt!!! I LOVE dresses with pockets! It has a gorgeous grosgrain ribbon at the waist which trails down the skirt at the back, and I was thinking I could order more ribbon in the same/similar color and tie it round the menus/candles on the tables/something like that.
Without further ado, here it is - only a model pic - eh my arms etc are twice the size of this girl''s, and I have dark brown hair and very fair skin - but you get the message!
What do you think?!
