What kind of wedding dress?

[Autumnovember]

....do you have in mind? Have you started to look? Is there something you definitely want or don't want?

Post pictures of dresses you're considering

I have some I'm considering...just have to go try them on!

 

[Mashira]

Definitely mermaid/trumpet and maybe a simple A-line. Definitely NOT a big poofy ballgown and nothing that makes me look like I'm wearing a tulle marshmallow!

I like the Maggie Sottero Amara Royale (in white) as well as the 'kock off' version from Alfred Angelo.

I am definitely thinking of a fit and flare dress. I do not like the puffy look, the tighter tops helps the ladies to look thin, and the gradual flare just looks soft and elegant.. I will have to post some pictures of the ones I am considering.

ohhh Fun!!

I like this lela rose dress, its very casual and elegant. We cant buy lela rose in australia so i would have to get it made here.

Mashira, I love the fact that it is so different I personally would look like a fool in that haha.. That's why I went more simple

Our tastes are alike - I think that both of these dresses are absolutely beautiful, especially the 2nd one. I am definitely looking to wear something very similar.

 

[nicoleben]

Yay! I just think it is very classic and beautiful! Not too overdone, it matches my personality

Dawnabee.... the first one is gorgeous and so unique!! I think that would make a perfect grecian inspiried wedding dress. absolutely stunning!!

 

[dawnabee]

Awww thanks Autumn and Vanilla!! Its so hard to decide everytime I see another one that looks similar I forget about the first and I ALWAYS want to turn to my BF and ask but then I remember I cant! haha

Its good to hear nice feedback.. the dresses do scream out to my personality/look too.

the first ones show too much boobage for me personally but if you are well endowed and have the body then go for it.

my favs are the R1071 and A3404

 

[Autumnovember]

Whoops, I dont think my links work anymore.

I have big boobs by the way, haha.

 

[calibali]

Monique Lhuillier "Monet." But I think I would change it to a sweetheart neckline.

 

[Mashira]

Thanks nicoleben and Vanilla! I love the dramatic look of them. I also like your picks, nicole!

I'm working on my figure (5'4 122lbs now), but I do naturally have a very defined hourglass, so I figured why not show it off?! My only big no-no for wedding gowns is cleavage. I don't find cleavage classy/elegant IMHO.

Dawnabee I LOVE your first and last choices!

Out of curiosity, how come you're working on your figure? Being 5'4 and 122 is in the normal body weight range for that height..

 

[Mashira]

Autumn, I used to weigh around 220lbs five years ago. Through diet and exercise I have gotten down to 122lbs. I suppose because my weight loss happened rather quickly at first, I was left with a lot of 'skin flab' around my belly, inner thighs, and backs of arms.

Because I am young, I can still tighten up the flab a bit and that is what I am working on. If the gown I choose is satin, an inner corset would be visible, or with no corset that excess skin bulge would be visible so I am working on that. I would also like to tighten up my arms so I don't have the pouch of flab over the top of the dress near the back and sides of the armpits.

So no worries, I'm not being unhealthy if that was what you were thinking!

Ahhh, Ok...understood. So you're basically working on toning your body up. I got worried and thought you were looking to shed more weight

Congratulations on the weight loss, what a fantastic accomplishment!

 

[Mashira]

Yup yup, I'm just looking to tone and maintain. Being in college means that during finals I tend to do a yo-yo where I will gain or lose about 10lbs so I'm not looking forward to that come December (graduation!). I just want to make sure I maintain this weight up until the wedding, and maybe even put on a bit of muscle if possible.

Thank you!! I am very proud of getting here considering where I started!

*End Threadjack!*

I'm trying to maintain too (lost 35 lbs) and tone..definitely not easy...sigh..

Calibali I love that dress. Here is a dress I will be trying on later this week.

 

[Mashira]

PARIS!

 

[paris29]

Thanks Mashira, I'm absolutely in love with it. My FF and I were looking for a comprise between something lace and something silk and we finally found it. Can't wait to try it on. It is by Paloma Blanca

 

[calibali]

Paris, that dress is divine!

And are you trying on dresses before being engaged?! Hmmm, I need to pull that off as well .

 

[Autumnovember]

Here we go...one of the ones I'm really liking right now:

I am. My FF asked for my fathers blessing over the weekend and right now we are in full planning mode Since the wedding is in about 5 months, Jan 1st we don't have a lot of time to get everything done. My FF doesn't want to propose without the ring which we are purchasing in about a week and half and should take a few days-a week before it is ready to pick up. Its weird because I feel like I'm officially engaged even thought I'm not quite but I know its coming soon.

Autumn-Absolutely gorgeous dress. I love that it is one sided.
