I was so sure I knew what I wanted based on the ads I'd ripped out of bridal magazines. I took those ads in and tried on all the dresses and was :indifferent: ... Then my mom talked me into trying on a strapless lace dress - I liked the look, though I did NOT like how I felt in a strapless, nor did I like the price. I had avoided them and halters like the plague - I'd decided either would make me look like a linebacker with my broad (i.e. fat) shoulders. Finally I gave up and did what everyone here has been saying, I started trying on a little of everything. When I got to this dress, all the other "maybe" dresses disappeared in my mind. Plus it cost less than half what the strapless did - and aside from the strapless vs. halter, they're basically the same dress (though different designers). It's ivory lace over champagne satin. These are photos my cousin took - they're the only ones I have handy right now. I was about thirty pounds less than I am now.
(man, I wish this forum had a post preview function! I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I made the img lower case... OK, I moved them to tinypic - I guess they've been on photobucket for too long, but that doesn't explain why I could still download them...)0 -
I am so jealous of all you girls that had coloured dresses. I'd kill for a red dress but i can't seem to find any in my price range. I'll probably end up going to David's bridal (we finally have some in canada!!!) cuz they are the most affordable. As for what you are looking for...dont get too set on a look...once you try it on you may not like it and that can be a real bummer if you had a set idea. I tend to really trust the people working at the bridal salons...find some pictures you like but then be honest and say you arent sure what you want and ask what they think will look good on you. Also, think about your wedding and venue...I'm getting married next june at a yacht club with a bbq...so I would look odd in a crystal covered ballgown that weighs a ton and will make me sweat all day. Prioritize what is important to you, comfort, style, colour, material, ect. and dont forget to have fun!0

I do not know how to post pics, but one is in my profile. Check it out. Plus i gained 40 pounds before my wedding date, I only weighed 100 at the time. My doctor wanted me to gain weight,,sooo I did. I bought a strapless dress size 8, beautiful designs on it. Never wore it, I could not fit into it. So I am selling it, if you would like to see it. I am only asking 150 for

I went in thinking I wanted something along the lines of either Pierce Brosnan's wife's wedding dress (simple gown with lace overcoat) or something kinda Rennaissance-y. No beads, not much lace, just simple and sleeved.
I ended up with a strapless A-line ballgown whose train I had removed. I can't find anything on this computer except for my wedding video and I'm not going to link that. It was Alfred Angelo and had an embroidered, beaded bodice and panel down my left side and what looked like an overskirt over the top. I loved it and felt like a princess in it. Tears and the whole nine yards.
Kind of like this:

But shift the overskirt portion to the left, the over skirt was plain, and the underskirt was embroidered with beads. My embroidery and beads were gold.
I was much, much larger than you are though.0 -

I got mine off the sale rack but had it dry cleaned before the wedding too.
Here are the details of the dress from the official website if you are interested.
from the Essense of Australia website……
So beautiful!… this charming satin and organza gown has a modern fairytale look. The satin bodice with a soft sweetheart neckline is beaded in a stunning design with sparkling Swarovski crystals, bugle and seed beads. Asymmetrical organza draping at the hipline flatters the figure and the triple layered organza skirt is enhanced with an edging of twinkling sequins and seed beads.
Detachable shoe-string straps included
Fabric colours are White
Beading colour is Crystal0 -
