Oh, that is so gorgeous! You look so slim and your upper arms look fine! You are going to look beautiful on the big day! :-)

Aw, thank you! It's out of focus, so you can't really see the ickiness that is my arms. But sleeves will fix that. :)

Thank you!

I really like the hourglass dress style that's popular right now. I was excited to find one!

It's beautiful! So very elegant (despite the apparent classlessness of the photo ;o) ).

Non-chain bridal stores are so much better for wedding dresses than big ones like Davids. My dress came from a tiny hole-in-the-wall place in Fremont and I loved it.

Thank you! Hahaha...yeah, this photo is pretty cringe-inducing. Every time I see those red shoes I think of the Wicked Witch of the West! It's looks like a house landed on my aunt just off camera. :)

I hadn't even thought of going the boutique route--because of the expense--but that place was really a find! Did that Fremont boutique sells bridesmaid dresses too? I'm still hunting for those. Any tips would be great!

what a beautiful find! congrats! you look absolutely lovely!!!

i am still thinking i am going to make my dress, but i have way over a year to do it and scored fabric for under 100 bucks. and was unable to find anything in the local stores in my budget that didn't look like a budget dress. even still,i am not sure if i am being ambitious or crazy. :-)

Thank you!!

See, with enough time and hunting, I'd totally be able to sew something I loved and fuss over it and take breaks from it often enough so I didn't get absolutely sick of the sight of it. I'd definitely say sewing your own dress is more ambitious than crazy with your luck so far. :)

Positively gorgeous! And girl, your booty looks fabulous in that gown!

[lacomtesse]

Thank you! Hahaha...nothing is more fabulous than black granny panties! I can't believe I wore those. Man, I'm an idiot. :)
