CUSTOM DRESS UPDATE PART DEUX WITH PIC IN ALBUM!

Oh my god, I can't believe that it took me so long to figure this out. Sketch in album!

A few notes- the sleeves have been changed. I have to have sleeves- my guns are hulking- but they are shorter. We're also toying with a beaded -net type of thing, but I think that may be too much for me.

Also, the bottom is more flarey. In the pic it sort of droops until the bottom where it goes out. In reality, there's crinoline under there, and it goes out like a regular wedding dress.

My head is not that small.

And, I have gotten a lot of feedback about the bubble- no one likes it. But I love it! The comments are really good- it will be dated, trendy, etc. But I have to tell you, the way it lies when you see it, I really like it. It's a small, not really noticeable detail on a not-busy dress, so I didn't think it was a big deal.

The detail on the empire will be a rhinestone/crystal type thing. Was also toying doing that at the end of the sleeve, if we make it a 1/2 sleeve.

Please rip it apart and give me opinions- there's still plenty of time to change ANYTHING, and I'm looking for some honesty. Thanks so much!!

if you're concerned with the bulk of your arms i would stay away from puffy sleeves, because i think it would draw more attention to them....something that is fitted would be best i think...but it's hard for me to imagine at the moment..let me get back to you haha

::edit::
wait, duh sorry i didn't realize the bubble comment wasn't for the sleeve! lol

It looks beautiful. I like the bubble hem...it reminds me of a Jim Hjelm dress that I loved.

Wow! The dress is stunning! I also love the bubble!

And it's a good thing your head is not as small as in the sketch, the bubble would totally overwhelm you

FUTURE MRS. C- IS IT THIS ONE???? If I'm doing it right, THIS was my DREAM DRESS!!!!! I chased it to the ends of the earth!! When I finally found it, there were a few problems.

The V Neck goes down REALLY low. I have boobs, so that was not going to work. I think it would be gorgeous with a smaller chest.

Second, the pleats don't open up until they are below the waist, so it was too snug in the wrong places.

Third, the pickups (you can't see from this pic, but there are mild pickups in the back) made my a$$ look like an aircraft carrier.

Fourth, it was $3600. BEFORE alterations. I could never afford that! But I based a lot of the design of my dress on this one, and THIS dress is why I want the bubble bottom!
