I may have found my dress but still need suggestions!!!

Maggie Sottero has gorgeous dresses. I had my first wedding dress shopping experience yesterday and found out that some of what I want in a dress doesn't go with my body type. I have a full bust, no hips and a short torso. I love the way the chantilly looked and I was getting ohhs and ahhs in the bridal boutique.

I think I need the lace-up back . . .Not sure if I want this much dress though.

Who else makes lace-up backs other than Maggie (saw some on bonny.com)?

Know of any other dresses that may fit my body type?

Please help and post!

My mom is pushing this one so I will probably look around with a friend next.

OK, for a short torso, a drop waist usually looks good ( the kind htat sort of points down in a v) I have short legs, so it looked horrible on me, but worked for my cousin.
I have a natural waist dress, which is what the oneyou posted looks like. That may also work, because it creates a clean line that may make your torso look longer, but I am not sure.

For no hips, a full skirt will flare out where your hips would, there for exentuating your waist.
For big boobs ( my issue as well), just avoid things that come up really high or are a deep v.

I am wearing a Maggie Sottero dress, Veronica. No corset, it has zipper back.
This is the dress, but w/ the pewter colorered embroidery instead of the rose.
I have a picture of me in my dress from my first fitting if you'd like to see. It is similar to the picture that you posted. FM me..--Kelly
