What style is your wedding dress? Are you wearing a fit-n-flare or mermaid dress that shows off your shape? Were you drawn towards the drama of a ballgown? Are you into the simple sophistication of a sheath? Share your shape! Ballgown?Photo by Lacy Ferrell Photography in Sumter, SC Mermaid? Photo...

    Honestly, not sure?? Fit and flare?
    All I know, is that I ❤ it.
    Can't wait until it is altered to fit.

    I just want to say that everyone's pictures are absolutely GORGEOUS. ugh i love how everyone has a gown that is unique to them and you can tell just how beautiful brides will be on their wedding day.

    i thought i wanted a mermaid gown but when i tried it on it was terrible on me. i ended up with an a-line that was far more flattering

    The store said it is estimated to be here the middle of July so fingers crossed it gets through customs with no issues. I think that would be the only thing that would delay it around that time of year.

    Hello again Sinead! Smiley xd

    Thank you! I was standing on a pedestal and doing a little spin to show off the dress to my family, it was the 2nd time trying it on and I brought in my grandma and brother to see it for the first time. My brother snapped this pic!

    I'm sooo inlove with it too! I took it in a couple days ago for alterations and I cannot wait until it's finished Smiley love The lady was just pinning it and it already looked even better! I didn't think that was possible. Tailors are wizards/wizardesses(?) I swear!! LOL!
