I just had the best bridal gown shopping experience at Lillette's in Baldwin. Stephanie was the girl who helped me and she was AWESOME! We ordered my gown, too!! It's a Maggie Sottero gown that my mom and I both fell in love with. We were shocked when we finally saw the price tag, too, b/c it cost half what we were planning to spend. We all know that doesn't happen often in wedding planning!
I only have one picture of it, but with the straps on. I'm having the straps removed and am wearing it strapless. That's how I tried it on - it's FAR more flattering on me. The saleslady said most people who order this gown wear it strapless.
Here it is:
And the back:
Now I have to be patient (and stick to my diet!) until it comes in... I can't wait to go back to pick out my veil, etc. Stephanie was great. This was a dress I never would have picked out on my own and would have probably said no when I saw it on the hanger. Stephanie just knew what would be flattering and look great ON me - and she was right. I loved everything she picked out for me. She also was absolutely NOT pushy and did NOT try to sell me up at all. (It wound up being the least expensive gown I tried on!) She wanted me to love the gown I ordered - and I do!
I'm sooooooo excited!!

KARA!!!!!! I'm so excited for you!!!!! Congrats- it is gorgeous!! I absolutely love the top of this dress!! And ironically enough, I also worked with Stephanie at Lillette's and she was the one who thought my Mori Lee dress was 'the one', I thought she was very great, but I wound up ordering from Bridal Elegance b/c of price!!
Congrats again!!!

Happy planning girl!

Beautiful! Did you order that color?
I *think* the color pictured is gold with diamond white lace. If so, that's not what I ordered. Mine looks like an ivory color - I think that's the 'cognac' color listed on the web page, since there is no 'ivory' color listed. I ordered it in the color I tried it on in, which was not white, diamond white, or gold with diamond white - so by process of elimination, it must be cognac!
