you can click on any of these photos to see them larger. The first one is from when I first looked at the dress in June, the second 2 are screen shots of detailing from the website, and the others are all from my adventure in ordering today. Someone will need to come with me next time to take better pictures. The ones where the dress looks great obscure my face and when you can see the dress, my damned camera bag is blocking the dress!
I ordered the dress to end all dresses (or so my wallet says) as a custom order, meaning I paid a reasonable fee to get 2 muslin fittings before they cut the real dress and am then allowed one minor alteration (up to 1″ in or 1/2″ out) on the dress once it is finally cut. That means that the torso won’t be too long and my bosoms will be properly covered. I also ordered extra tulle to make a matching veil out of and an extra yard of silk to make the halter straps out of (instead of taupe ribbon, that’s there just to get the right width [1.5″]).
One last note: my $49 DSW shoes are the PERFECT color and look like their from the same silk/dye lot as the sample!
