AW your dress here.

zoberg

Psh, Bayside, I don't care what your FMIL thinks, your dress is gorgeous! Who designed it? You can PM me if you don't want to post it here.

I'm honestly blown away by everyone's fantastic choice in gowns.

This is mine, pockets and all:

I didn't keep the picture of me wearing the dress so as to prevent FI from seeing it by accident.

Thank you for doing this!! it is so fun to see everyone's dress, and i'm falling back in love w/ mine

zoberg - I love the pockets!!! Mine is Vera Wang - after looking at her stuff online I had zero belief I'd fine one I loved, but the dress is so lightweight, and I'm having an outdoor wedding, so it seems like a perfect fit. It also fit me perfectly - so well I could have left the store in it, which had a lot to do w/ VW having more than one tiny sample size, and really lovely store help.

Thank you for the nice words I remember how I felt in it, and had no reservations when I was wearing it. I can dance it in, and hop on our boat in it, and feel good in it.

<div>I thought it was Vera! I came SO CLOSE to getting one from her Nordstrom line. Great pick.</div>

Here's mine (hanging out with my dad before the ceremony)!

Also, can I AW my wedding-necklace here? My mom told me she didn't like it and I should wear it to my rehearsal dinner instead. But I'm ignoring her and wearing it anyway. Because I love it.

Edited to fix size.

Here's mine.  I really wanted a gold dress, and this was the closest I could find.

I love the pockets! I would have wanted pockets in mine if I could have had them. When I'm trying on dresses at stores and realize they have pockets, they're almost an instant win. Also, your necklace is beautiful too. Don't listen to your mom.

I completely ADORE your dress, Kje

This isnt me in the dress, but I googled it. Here it is:

daveANDkristen

Here's mine.  It's not what I envisioned, but I thought it was the most flattering dress I tried on, and the beading at the waist and down the train is very pretty (can't see it much here).  Everyone looks beautiful, by the way! 

mochietoe

I post mostly on my month board but I will share. This is me in the sample (don't have a picture of me in my actual dress yet). Going in I did not want a lace dress...guess what I ended up with!

ETA: The first and second pictures make the dress look different colors. It is ivory lace with champagne satin underneath. Picture 1 and 3 are more true to life.

rachelm13

I have lost a bit of weight, so this pic looks funny, but, this is it!  I was custom made so I couldn't google it! 

Knottie

@daveANDkristen, your dress is exactly what I've been picturing for myself. It's so pretty!

tiny speck

I mostly lurk on this board, but I thought I'd AW my dress because I'm so excited to wear it NEXT WEEK!!!





ETA: The pictures are pretty bad and the colour is really washed out (it's much more champagney), but you get the idea.

I dont come on much these days, but here's mine:


The back:

mochietoe I think we're dress twins.  But I did the white on white instead of champagne on ivory.  There are more pics in my bio.

We totally are dress twins! How did you have yours bustled ( Kinda looks like a one point bustle on the satin and a one point on the lace from the pictures)?

Peledreamsofrain

Only dah poofiest for me!

GoofyAssChick

I'll play.  I obvioulsy don't look like the Demi Moore twin, but I love the dress just the same. 

prettybirdy27

Here is mine, except I won't have that awkward line across my stomach from the longline bra that hits at just the wrong spot!

defintiely not one point; they said the fabric would be way to heavy.  That first back picture is actually with the train down, that's just how the dress gathered.  This was what it looked like bustled.



If I remember correctly the satin was bustled under and buttoned up (with, like, 10 or 14 buttons) to make the satin straight across; almost like they were pinning it for hemming to remove the train, KWIM?  and then the lace was gathered up with 3 or 5 little hooks.  I might have better pics of it at home (I'm just pulling them from my married bio right now) from when we actually were getting it done / learning how to bustle it.  If I find them tonight I'll page you with them :-)

This should be made into a sticky that ladies can add to as they find their dress!

I love looking at dresses on real women.

linnyv27

Everyone's dress is so beautiful! Mine is my sig. I do have pictures of me in it, but the sample didn't zip up (too small) and unfortunately I wore BRIGHT pink underwear that you can see in all the pictures, so I don't like sharing those.

nextrightthing

Am I too late?!  Here is the sample with the cheesy fake flowers and black bra sneaking into the pic.  Still LOVE it.

Here's the photo from their site. I got the white version of the flower belt though I did actually prefer the contrast of the

 black/brown one.

Here is my dress!  I can't wait to wear it

perfectisboring

Wow, everyone's dresses are so lovely - especially linnyv27 and thebayside bride. Super couture and very chic. I'd love something like these if I were having a bigger wedding.

This is my  dress. The front is also a v-neck:



We started planning about 2 months before the wedding. So, I either had to a find a ready-to-wear dress or a used one. I got this one used on ebay for £92 and the former owner's measurement were almost exactly the same as mine!  Can't wait to wear it.

I don't know how to flip this... fail.

Knottie

I just dropped the deposit on mine last Saturday.

It's an Alfred Angelo from the "Dream in Color" collection:




I went in knowing exactly what I wanted.  The first and ONLY dress I tried on. 

I will admit, I've always thought it was a load of bunk when women said they tried on "their" dress and knew it was "the one".  Yeah, well...I'm a believer. 

And, the FI even approved it being a smidge over budget. 

I -love- all these dresses!  I love looking at wedding gowns!!
