She did a fabulous job, it fit perfectly, and had everything we wanted in a dress.<BR/><BR/>Including thirty-five dollar a yard trim...! Seriously, I didn't know that until it was ordered and I nearly fainted when they told me. It was the most expensive part of the whole dress!<BR/><BR/>Excellent taste in gowns, Jess. Your first choice is beautiful, and so is the backup.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769610505748900163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-90992256306180337362008-02-27T07:33:00.000-07:002008-02-27T07:33:00.000-07:00Great post!

Even stores that say they don't bargain will. Just keep it on the down-low, be honest about your budget and they may just give you a deal!Nilsa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11960351638623857751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-5546704316919781312008-02-26T01:56:00.000-07:002008-02-26T01:56:00.000-07:00Good pics!

I have to say the halter suits you very well, but the notched neckline on is very beautiful. I looked at the back and it has little buttons. Please say that they are decorative and that no one has to actually fasten you up button by button. It will take hours to get you buttoned up!<BR/><BR/>(PS I made my wedding dress, which called for the thousand buttons in the back. I put in a zipper instead and just sewed the buttons on. Shhh. It's a secret.)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784078775130185200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-16236055690977716442008-02-25T14:53:00.000-07:002008-02-25T14:53:00.000-07:00Yay pictures.

Didn't like the second dress, because the neckline is straight (a little unflattering) and the ruffles, Oooh you don't want so much of ruffles running down and drawing eyes. <BR/><BR/>I did like the halter, and the two dresses that your sister tried. The first dress that she tried has everything that you should/must be looking for. An A-line silhouette, Vneckline (or strapless) and accentuated the hourglass figure.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure you'll find a dress that you love, and the one that loves you back.
