OK my dress....

Because it would be odd if I didn't post the pics.. being that I said I was going dress peeping today... here is the link to my album...

album

It's not that I'm not happy with my dress. I just have lots of changes that I'm making to it and this is so a rought draft.

First the dress was HUGE on me! All over... and she could only pin it... and it still wasn't even tight enough in some parts. She couldn't even pin it at my hips... so my hips look like they are shaped funny because of the 10 layers of crinolyn attached to the dress!! I tried to pull it back in one pic. AND... since it was really long.. the floor was pushing the dress straight up... so the crinolyn was being pushed up wayyy higher than its supposed to fall when the dress isn't being pushed up by the floor (its kind of a stiff dress)... does that make sense? if i step out of it.. it pretty much would just stand straight up for the most part. so i feel like i look like a fatty fat fat cow in it from the way it was laying and of course the size.

I'm going to take the scalloped top away in the front and sweetheart it. i dont like how my boobs look the way it is.

we are adding a white sash thats going to wrap around my waist 3 times and have this twist feature in the front. which also gives your eyes something to look at. it looked great... only we didn't get any pics of it. stupid us!

AND the dress in person has a major sparkle factor that just isn't showing up in pictures they way i would liek it to... so im going to also be adding crystals to it. this is sooo diaspointing to me. because seeing it in person then on camera .... its like 2 different dresses. i think the crystals might help it out. theres beading and shimmer all over it and it's just not showing in the pics.

I paid it off today. which was awesome though!!!

On a side note... I found out (because i had to) that some BM's are chipping in for the blue Manolos from the sex and the city movie... so I will have those!! woo hoo!! cant wait!! I dont think they all know that I know about this... but i needed to know because of the fittings.. i needed to know if i had to buy shoes or not.

so what are your thoughts... be honest?? i'm not in love and i'm just kinda blah about it. im scared to be the girl who got the wrong dress. i feel like with my changes it will be better. but its not that im hating it... im just not loving it.

Lastly i'm sooooo glad I picked November.. that dress is heavy heavy heavy... i was sweating insanely in it. its soooooooooooooo hot under all those layers!!!!
