lets play dress up

ok ladies... if i dont find a dress ASAP then this is what I'm wearing to my wedding:

so... would any of you like to dress me up??

I want my dress to match my ring, church and hall... so very antique-y looking
the ring

the church

the hall

--
some dresses i tried on that I LIKED... don't remember the designers or even where I was that i tried them on.

(i think i want something like this:)

i originally had my heart set on this one .. but when i tried it on, i didn't get THAT feeling... so I want to try on other things and if I can't find anything by March 1 then I will be ordering the Mary's dress...

now here's the hard part, I need a dress that's UNDER $1000... (and no davids bridal please, I tried on most of their inventory and nothing felt right).

thanks ladies.

I loooooooove the second to last dress! It looks GREAT on you!

Have you tried any Maggie Sottero dresses? Check out Victoriana if you get a chance! Seems like a similar style to what you're looking at...

the picture of the one that you really wanted to try on but didn't get that feeling....it doesn't hit me as 'antique-y'.....i was thinking something with lace and cap sleeves.....have you tried something with these elements?

When I see that church with all the stained glass, I think of Pnina Tornai

Re: lets play dress up

oh forgot to add- i prefer something POOFY... or large at least, I want a HUGE ball gown. I dont have an issue with lace, I just know i want more of a jewel look... and as for sleeves, if you can find me a dress that has sleeves that will fit over the fat on my arms AND i'll be able to move in.. i'll love you forever! lol

oh annnd... i kinda want some cleavage, and sweet heart does not work on me... it makes me look flat, meanwhile i'm a large C.

and i'm really tiny- i'm 4'10, so certain looks dont work on me

and FH says it HAS to be white... he'll leave me if i dont wear white

Re: lets play dress up

a) you are NOT FAT

b) 4'11'...no wonder why you are having difficulty! I had the opposite problem, I'm 5'11'. I'll keep looking! :)

Try Maggie Sottero's Viera - and remember that you can get it without the ribbon - this dress was actually my 2nd choice and when I tried it on I didn't even know it came with a colored ribbon.

The bridal salon was also going to add more crinoline underneath to make it a tad more 'poofy'.

oh no, i have some chunk on me.. lol, but my arms are HUGE- i have issue with them.. like i hate them, if i could remove my arms i'd be happy.
they don't fit into certain sleeves.
I attempted to try on something like this:

but yea, my arms wouldn't have it...

but here are some other dresses i've tried on (i have over 77 pictures in my myspace album, and thats not even ALL of them)
