Okay,

So, this was the last thing I thought I’d purchase. And, it ended up being the first. That’s okay sometimes! Anyways, I wanted to share something that I thought was grand during these trying times.
My mother and grandmother went with me. It has pearl buttons down the back, unfortunately we won’t really get any photos of that until my size comes in, but we know that it will look great! I’m also seriously thinking about removing the cups (among other regular altering things) because to be blatantly honest I am ~less than a size A~ flat chested. I feel like any “cup” will look odd considering I haven’t felt the need to wear a bra since college anyway. Also, I think that the off-the-shoulder straps will look nicer if they’re tight on my shoulders. We’ll see!
Thanks for taking the time to read my little blurb, and happy wedding planning!

    Beautiful dress! You look stunning!
    Keep in mind, if you make the off the shoulder straps right on your arms it will severely limit your range of motion, that’s why they are loose- so you can actually lift your arms.

    Dear Virginia,

    Thank you for your advice! I suppose I used the wrong verbiage. I don’t necessarily want the straps to be tighter around my arms, but I do want it to be flattened and fitted to my collar bone around the “neckline.” I feel that once we remove the cups and have the sleeves fitted properly that it will be straight and flat.
    Also, worse comes to worse, I always like to use a line from project runway: “I’d bleed to be beautiful.” So bring on all the challenges that come with it!Haha, anyways thanks so much for your response and I hope you have a great night!

    *Gasp* This looks heavenly on you.

    Careful to not keep looking at dresses because it is so easy to second guess yourself with so much time ahead of your! You have a winner here, seriously stunning Smiley smile

    Alterations make a huge difference and will make you fall in love with it all over again. I finally felt like a bride when I wasn't all clipped in and tripping over the extra length of my gown.

    Dear Jessica,


    Thank you for your kind words! I already have my shoes, as well! Although you won’t be able to see them, they’ll give me an extra 5 inches and they’re very fun (also ~insanely~ comfortable and easy to walk in)! I think it’ll be nice to have less of a height disparity for our wedding day (usually a foot between us). I’ll also feel less horrible about exactly how much of my dress with end up in the garbage during the gemming session.
    As for all the other details: a veil or headpiece, possibly switching the belt out, etc. will all be decided on only a few months in advance to ensure that I don’t buy into a fad I like too quickly and don’t regret any big purchases. I can always glam it up with pearl and jewel combos or keep it classic with just pearls, who knows!
    Having said that, I definitely have not been “looking,” at any other dresses these past few months!
    Thank you so much for your response and I hope that you have a great afternoon!

    *Dress Update*
    Hey guys!

    My size finally came in just in time for my birthday! I wanted to share the pictures with you girls. I’m still thinking about taking out the cups, but other than that we still have a ways to go with alterations! Next time I’ll see her is in a few months when the veil I chose came in, and we’ll have to wait until next October to do any alterations ;(
    Anyways, thanks for circling back around. I got to try this one with the shoes I’ll be wearing🥰👠
