Now THIS is what I call a dress

By Christa Terry

You can’t help but feel good in a gown like this!

Right now my tongue is lolling out like Homer Simpson because I just love this dress. It’s comprised of a basque waist corset with embroidered front panel and a full ball gown skirt with sweep train and pleated bustle. As the creator, Alisa Benay, says on her web site, “This is your gown, your day, your dreams come true. You pick the color for the fabric, the trim, the lacing ribbon, even the eyelets! I’ll wave my fairy godmother wand and make it all come to life.”

Now if only I could figure out a way to dredge up a couple thou for one of these… Hey, a girl can dream, right?

    Thanks so much for the tongue lolling! Come back & visit my website next week (Jan 4th) & you’ll be happy to see quite a few of my prices coming down. I’m always happy to work up a custom package for brides who need a little “creative budget-ing” as well.

    This is definitely a fairy princess gown! I love how unique handmade, personalized dresses are!
