Ok.. I have been talking about this with some of you.. and after seeing a couple of other girls post their Reem's, thought I would finally make an official thread..
I know we are all fanatical about our dresses.. Let's see 'em and discuss!!

I actually have a question - did anyone that ordered a strapless reem raise the bodice - i had them open up the cup and then raise it an inch - i didnt want anything showing in church - so i figured this was the easiest way to get away with a strapless dress

They told me that I would have to do this cause I am a D cup.. I think it depends on the dress.. The sample sizes were all big on me anwyay- and I was afraid if the cup was opened up, it would enhance my chest-- which I would have hated.. My dress, I got away without having to do that- but one of the other ones I was considering fell a little differently on the chest.
Besides savign 300 bucks, I was concerned about how it would come out.

Re: Official Reem Acra Brides Thread
yeah i hated paying the money for it - but the dress i ordered felt like it was pushing down on my chest and made me look flat

Re: Official Reem Acra Brides Thread
I was thinking about getting Good Luck-- and that made my boobs look a little flat, and pressed in.. but my dress- didn't have the same effect-- so I nixed the idea of opening it up.. I was worried also that the dress would look different.
Looks like your pics are from Wedding Salon of Manhasset- yes??

I originally went to Reem's salon.. but I had a hook up at Kleinfelds- so that is where I got my dress-- which btw I didn;t see at Reem's salon.

Yeah-- they do. Also, Reem's salon is not allowed to carry everything that other salons carry. That's what the guy from the trunk show told us while at Kleinfelds.

Hi Everyone!
Randella, I'm so glad you started this!!
I ordered Magnolia from the Reem trunk show at Kleinfelds. I can't find a picture on the internet!! Which sites did you guys find your dresses on???

I would also look on the Knot-- there is a thread in the message boards-- Post Your Reem Acra dress- you'll need to look through a lot of pages but you may find someone else who has taken a picture of it- if they got the same dress.

Re: Official Reem Acra Brides Thread
Wanted to let everyone know that I went dress shopping for the first time today at the Reem Acra Salon!!
My question is... HOW DO YOU CHOOSE FROM ALL THE GORGEOUS DRESSES!!! I tried on several and loved them all (except 1 that was a totally different cut than what I was looking for). I didn't buy anything... I'm gonna go look in Kleinfelds and some places recommended on LI... try to hit up a Trunk Show next time they have one.
I lLOVE everyone's dresses by the way!

Re: Official Reem Acra Brides Thread
there was one dress that i loved and wish i could have gotten - but it would have been too much money for them to change it to the way i wanted - it had a scoop front and back - had this straps and the back was SO low. THe design on the bodice and the train was kinda like geometric rectangles interconnected - has anyone seen this?
I wanted them to make it a strapless and the salon said it would be too much - and since i was already paying over $5K there was no way i could justify more.
