    Yes! Bought my dress and had one alterations appointment. One more final appointment in March and it should be ready for May!

    Fully picked up and bought my dress the end of November, but I had her picked out and ordered in May. I'll be taking her in next month in January for the alterations. Mikaella bridal, all lace, love her.

    Picked my dress, shoes, veil and corset all in layaway right now (or it would be trying it on daily), then alterations. Our engagement is short so it was the first thing I did in September when we made it official.

    Yes and it's hanging in my closet in its bag!! Still need to have alterations done of course but those will be done closer to May 2020, I have work to do in the mean time. I still need accessories and shoes but having the ONE dress (after 2 exchanges at David's, don't worry a couple friends of mine work there and they didn't mind) hanging in my closet. I'm so excited to wear it!!

    I bought a dress, then exchanged it for a new dress (which I absolutely love) 2 months later. Now it’s hanging in my FMIL’s house waiting for alterations.

    I will need some! The upper portion of my dress (and body) are thin compared to some massive hips down below to I had to buy a dress to fit the hips and my torso will be altered. It falls off of me at the moment. Getting some cups/push up sewn in for support and a three point bustle, as well as shortening it in the front a bit!

    I found my dress back in June for my October 2020 wedding. I wanted to get a head start in case I was indecisive. Turns out it was an easy decision and was the 5th dress I tried on.

    It's a mermaid dress with a high neck line (kind of like an illusion neckline, but with lace details) and a lot of lace detail on the front and back. It's hard to describe but I'm trying not to post pictures of me in it until wedding day lol.

    I haven't bought my dress yet. I had my first appointment on Saturday and think I found the one I want, but I'm planning on making a few more appointments before I commit to this dress.
