Wedding Dress

I FOUND MY DRESS....updated

i love the beading and detail! it really flatters you!! :)
this will be perfect for a christmas themed wedding!

Thanks! I think i need a crinoline for the mermaid style...maybe that will lift it up a bit so I don't have to get sooooo much hemmed off

that dress is GORGEOUS! good luck with it! I'm sure with a crinny it'll flare out a bit more and possibly make it a bit easier on the hemming.

it's fabulous!  very flattering.  do you know a good seamstress?  take this pic to her and she what she thinks.

Oh my goodness!

It's beautiful!  My father is a tailor and he could hem that gown.  Find a professional tailor and they can do it for you!!

WOW!!  That's the Mary's dress I was looking at one point before I found my dress.  It looks pretty and great on you.  I saw it on the rack and decided I didn't like it, perhaps I should have tried it on.  :-)   It'll look great in your wedding--Christmas theme or not...but will add th perfect touch to the wedding.  As for the hemming--the bridal shop should have a seamstress ask for their opion.

This Dress Is a Beauty!

It's gorgeous! where did you find it?

wowww.. that is amazing!!!!!!! i LOVE the detail.. it is so gorgeous! wow! I dont know about the hemming but im sure they can do it and it will work out!

christmas theme!? PERFECT DRESS! love it!

can they order it shorter?

Take a closer look at the dress when you get a chance.  A lot of designers will tack the bottom beading on, so that it can easily be moved when it's hemmed.  Since there's a lot of beading, maybe this isn't the case, but the designer probably thought of that, and offers a shorter version of the gown.

Hey everyone! Thanks for all the comments!!! Made me smile when I woke up this morning lol.

As for the dress...I found it at www.bridesmaidsgaloreandmore.com over in daphne alabama.

Most stores can order it for you but this was the only store in all the neighboring states that actually had it in stock.

The bridal store said they would talk to the seamstress and get me a quote on about how much it will cost me for them to hem it.

The second more blurry picture that i posted img_0372b is closer to the real color of the dress. I used a flash in the first pic where it shows the train so it looks a brighter red. The dress is actually a wine color. Amazing how just a flash can change the color of a dress!

Well I know for a fact the bottom beading on the gown is tacked on but if you look right above it there is even more beads all the way up the dress. So i didn't really see how the seamstreass could just "move" the beading up the dress when she hems cause I don't think there will be enough room.

I asked the bridal store if they could order the gown in a shorter size and they said that Mary's doesn't have that option...hmmm I"m gonna have to call Mary's myself and see.

OMG that dress is GORGEOUS! You look absolutely stunning in it! Great pick! All eyes will definitely be on you! ^_^

Christmas theme or not-that dress is gorgeous! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! =D

awwww you ladies are the best!

what a beautiful gown with gorgeous detailing!!! u look amazing!!

i agree with all the others . . . this dress is STUNNING!!

I think it is my most fave red wedding dress yet!!

WOW!

dress is gorgious.

Quite simple BREATHTAKING! I know your supposed compliment a bride in her dress but this is SO amazing! I hope they can sort it for you - you must have it!!! xX

Well, I was going to comment as soon as I saw your post... this is my dress...but then I saw your update and almost decided not to comment, but changed my mind again in hopes of giving you some encouragement....
First of all you look absolutely STUNNING in this dress!! I'm sorry you can not get it, BUT...
My first choice was a Maggie Sottero gown (Jasmina) that I had tried on IN FRONT OF MY FH just for fun, but I fell in love and could NOT get it out of my mind...after lots of looking elsewhere I finally decided I just had to have THAT dress regardless of the fact that FH had seen me in it. However, the day I went to get it the shop was closed and I ended up very frustrated and disappointed. Then I stumbled across a dress shop that I didn't even know existed in that town and saw the Mary's gown above, tried it on, once again just for fun, thinking I would ultimately go back and get the Maggie gown and fell in love for a second time!! This time I bought the dress on the spot! The moral of the story is, although this gown may have been your first choice and you did look absolutely gorgeous in it....keep looking and keep your spirits up because you WILL find a dress that you love just as much, if not more.
~Best of Luck~

It's pretty, especially the red color, but  a bit too much beading for my taste, if a little less it would be perfect.  Good luck!
