Style Me Pretty- Wedding Dress Edition

After a snafu with a previous wedding dress that I had gotten from a friend, I set out on a quest to find a new one. I came across a Maggie Sottero dress that was GORGEOUS and just what I wanted, but it was totally out of the price range and there were little things I didn't like about it.

I quickly threw it to the back of my mind, but couldn't stop thinking about it.

What did I do?

I looked at getting it custom made after I had read a post from another bride about how custom made gowns really aren't that expensive. I got contacted by a VERY talented seamstress who said she would have no problem what so ever to replicate this dress with the changes that I wanted. Not only that, but she's also making a tiffany blue petticoat for me to wear under the dress (YES!).

Without further ado... my wedding dress (with the model of course, not me.. mine will be in in April!)

DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SEE THE DRESS!!

I couldn't decide whether or not I wanted the bow. So the seamstress is going to makeit removable! If I like it, I'll wear the bow to the ceremony and take it off during the reception. This is what it will look like with the bow.

Back of the dress. Except, she's going to make the corset back higher for me. I feel like that corset back in the picture is super duper low and I would feel more comfortable if it set where normal corsets sit, which is right below the shoulder blades.

This is what my dress will look like when I take the bow off.

With those few changes... this is definitely my dream dress! I've even did a big bridal no-no and looked at other dresses, but none of them compare in my mind.
