It was rough taking pics ladies! The attendant was in the room the whole time! Even when I sent her out to get me other dresses, someone else was in the room!
So, I apologize in advance for the cr@ppy pictures....but, it's THE ONE, and I had to try it on one more time with my MOH to get her honest opinion.
Just a little background: It's a Monique LHuillier, and is over $5,500 and I refuse to spend that on a dress I'll wear once. So, I'm having it custom made by a dress maker for $500. I took more pics of the material and lace so that she can match the lace as closely possible.
It's a three piece (well four if you count the sash!) Basically an A-Line skirt with lace detailing, a camisole, the long sleeve jacket that's all lace, and then the sash to tie it all together.
My MOH, who's my absolute best friend cried....I didn't cry...but my MOH did and that was the BEST feeling I've seriously had in my entire life!

I was literally just reading your post, amisdt responding! You look gorgeous in your dress! Congrats again!
I couldn't believe how they are so tight on security there!!!!!! There was even a sign in the dressing room that said 'Absolutely no picture taking or sketching of the dresses permitted.'
It was tighter than the White House in there!

I wanna know who brings a sketch pad to the bridal salon. When I meet that person, I shall smack them!
BOTH of you have lovely dresses!

YIKES! It was the opposite for us, the girl was there to help me in my dress and out of my dress, otherwise MOH and I were left alone!

Re: So, I Visited My Dress Tonight at Klienfeld's
LMAOOOOO I visited my dress tonight too!!! But the salon I was at (looking at bridesmaid dresses first) their sample of my gown was 2 sizes too small, so I couldn't get a real sense of it, but get this....I fell in love with it!!! I had no idea that my dress was so sparkly...I guess the first place I tried it on it wasn't as clean....

Are you having the pin-ups on your skirt?
By the way...you're going to look amazing!

THANK YOU!
Yes, I'm going to have an Austrian Bustle in the back, but nothing else for the front. I'm a pretty short person (5'2') and when I tried the skirt with the pin ups in the front, it totally shortened me - doesn't help that I have a short torso either.
