I tried on my dress last night, and it fit!! We ordered it smaller than my actual size at the time, but it zippered and fit perfectly...even though I want to lose another 30 or so. The only think I don't like about the dress, is the straps. I was not into getting a strapless, but I think the straps look farty...and it might look better strapless. The shop said they could take the straps off, or make them thinner. Let me know what you think!
Ohhh...and my FH's aunt bought me this gorgeous veil...it is perfect. Don't mind my hair....I just put it half up to see, but I am going to have it more down.

i actually am not a fan of straps either, but those straps are gorgeous. i love them. if you don't like them, then by all means get rid of them, but i don't think they are the 'farty' kind.

your veil is gorgeous!!

I like it better without the straps. Its not bad with the straps, but I think its better without. I found the straps a little distracting -- without them for some reason your face stands out more. Either way, the dress looks beautiful on you.

I agree 100%. I think the dress looks a lot better without the straps. They do distract from the dress IMO. And the veil goes sooo well with the dress - the pic taken from the back didnt look like it was going to, but the one taken from the front looks awesome! YAY for FH's aunt!

Re: Tried on my dressWITH PICS

Gosh...thanks sooo much for all of your replies!! I am still soo confused about keeping it with straps and without...I really like without, but the dress wasn't made to be strapless, and frankly, I am not sure I am completely comfortable with strapless. I think I might see if I can make the straps thinner. I really enjoy hearing your opinions...and I really appreciate it!
