    Well, it'll be really hard to find the exact dress you wanted - what if you did something like this? Have a plane rose-colored gown in the silhouette you wanted, then overlay it with a lace "over-gown" like the ones below, then maybe add a sheer bolero or something to create the peep-hole look in the back?

    Hey, here's a slim, rose-gold, vintage-y, corset-backed, cap-sleeved gown? The only thing it's missing is that peephole you wanted, and you can easily make one with some sheer fabric?

    Edit: the URL on the image seems to say: shop61813792.taobao.com; It's a chinese website, but I used google translate to translate the whole page. The dress is 1280 yuan, which is about 200 US dollars.

    Where are you getting married? If it's a church wedding... Yea too much. If it's on a beach or a grand hotel ballroom, I think itd be okay.

    If you're looking for a rose colored dress, it might be rough. Do you live in/near a very large city? If so, may I suggest finding a really talented seamstress and getting a dress custom made. They can dye the lace overlay to match the color you want.

    Then you can get exactly the dress you want.

    @ Elizabeth, is that the same dress, different views? Because the far pic on the right is perfect.

    I love the front of the dress, but the back of it is just awful!! I don't think of it as a wedding gown. I do love the first one that Elizabeth posted, I think it has simalarities and it is more elegant for a wedding.

    Uh, Meghan B- when you don't like someone's color choices, I think there are other ways to put it. I personally think some of the choices from gals on here are tacky, but I'd never say that. We each have different taste.

    Of course, maybe I'm feeling that way because my color choices are similar to hers, but play nice, ok?

    I would just add my little suggestion, I, too, am a little unsure of pink and brown for a vintage theme I would think rose pink and light grey would look fabulous for a vitage-y theme. Smiley smile IMO.

    I also think that a wedding dress in the blush pink color would be awesome. If I could do it again, I would totally pick something like that.

    This kind of has a nice vintage look (to me)

    Mature bride weighing in here....

    Well, the dress you originally posted is def too over the top.

    I love the idea of a rose dress. It is very vintage.

    I also love this Maggie Sottero. I have been keeping it for my daughter. It is Bernadette. I am pretty sure you can get it in other colors.

    Jennifer B....Well said! I am all for honesty too, but sometimes tact should be used.

    I love it except for the back. If you like and you look goo in it wear it. It is your day. I'm 46 and I'm wearing a mermaid gown and it looks great.

    For vintage, maybe try this

    http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_Allover-beaded-lace-trumpet-gown-T9612_Bridal-Gowns-Features-All-Gowns

    or this? this one has kind of the same concept, but more conservative

    http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_Lace-Cap-sleeve-Trumpet-with-Keyhole-Back-and-Sash-VW9768_Bridal-Gowns-Features-All-Gowns

    both of these were at the top of my list when I first started looking Smiley smile

    Chuwana....I found this dress for my daughter. It will flatter her figure. She would be wearing it with a Cathedral Length veil. I hope she says yes to this dress.

    What did Meghan say that was wrong. She said that it may be rough finding a rose colored dress...
