Well...I didn't lose the ten pounds. It's a teensy bit tight. Also, I didn't try on this exact gown, I tried on a similar Casablanca gown for size, so that made a bit of a difference. It needs to be let out a little bit. So keep in mind in the photo the gown isn't actually zipped up all the way in the back, so I look fatter than I will. It zipped, but we didn't want to risk ripping it, so we left the zip down a bit. Later the assistant suggested I take off my merry widow, that it was taking up too much space. So I tried that, and it zipped right up! We may put some cups in, but to be honest, that gown was holding my boobs up better than most of my bras. Still had a little bit of back fat, though, so it will still get let out. That's all it needs, plus steaming and pressing. It looked gorgeous with my shoes, I'm SO happy. Everyone admired my shoes. I just wish I could put a bit dot on my head, I look so bad in that picture. I got poured on coming home from the train--had to walk several blocks without an umbrella as I had no idea it was going to rain, and my FH wasn't home to pick me up. And I'm exhausted. So, keep in mind I'm not that hideous normally, OK? Nor that fat.
ETA: I see it now! It actually looks great! I'm sure once they let it out a teensy bit it will be perfect! Congrats!!!

It does have lace on the bodice, with beading and pearls and silver stuff. Or some of the lace is silver? It's just gorgeous, that's all I can say. I'm very glad I got the ivory, it just looks much richer, both on me, and the dress itself.

It is my size, it just needs to be let out a little. I wish my mom had taken pictures once it was zipped up without the merry widow, it made me look SO much slimmer, especially with my boobs up where they're supposed to be.
But thanks! And I love the detail on the bottom, too. It looks great with my sparkly shoes. See, all those people said 'no one sees your shoes' but you CAN see my shoes! My dress hast that very flat front so the shoes come out when I walk.
Hmmm--they didn't suggest a slip. I guess I don't need one, it did have a lot of 'stuff' under there...or do I need a slip?
