My Mom and my Grandma made it, based on a Reem Acra I picked out of a magazine. I can't even begin to tell you how beautiful it is. Here are a few pics. Second to last fitting - can you believe it's not done yet??!!

That is BEAUTIFUL!!!! I can't believe that they made your dress--just gorgeous. You must be so happy. I think it's so meaningful too b/c your mom and grandmom actually put the love and effort into your wedding dress! Just WOW!

Thanks everyone!
The second pic is the train in the process of being bustled, so you can imagine the train is insanely long. I wish I had a pic of the whole thing opened.
My mom, when she was zipping it up, was like - oh, we're gonna have to take it out again, and I was gonna kill her, cause I KNEW we didn't, and then she zipped it up and it was perfect! There were about 6 people there and everyone was so excited and we argued about how to bustle it because it's SO BIG - my aunt want me to half bustle it and either let it drag or loop it on my arm, and I argued that Arie was gonna trip all over my train during the dancing. It's still up in the air.
My mom still has to finish the lining and the sleeves. But it was really the first time I felt like a bride, because I didn't go dress shopping.
Also, the long hair is new. It will be in curls.
Here's the pic they had to work from (and the pic from the Reem Acra website, 2002, Aristocrat):
WOW nadine, you look AMAZING.. that dress is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
