Haven't had time to visit any dress shops and would rather lose some weight which might help me get back the body shape I was a couple of years ago first. I think that that will be the biggest factor in whether a dress will suit.... But does anyone know a vague price estimate for his dresses? A guess-timate even?

That last one, I think I'm going to Have To copy that top layer, as I've been planning a knee-length dress with the problem of too much bare skin above my nipples if the balance is kept nicely with the top and bottom coverage. Maybe with a bit more frills at the hem and a colored sash... humm, yeah, thanks a million for that pic! (I've gotten tired of browsing the flash-sites, too.) Oh mi gosh.

It's considered terribly couture...but it mostly makes me worry that they've developed osteoperosis at a very young age. Actually, models are trained specifically to do that odd hunching thing.

But you have to admit that she's standing a lot taller than many model brides. When you’re right, you’re right, Stephanie!

I'd arrange to have more evenings out if it meant wearing such a cool outfit! Back on the "models look funny in wedding dresses" front, has anyone else found that they are more likely to like a gown if the model is smiling, or if they've seen the gown on a real bride? For example, I'm not a huge Maggie Sottero fan (too much sparkly stuff and taffeta for me) but I love that their website shows real brides wearing their dresses -- they always look so much prettier than the overstyled models!

Because that would be awesome. I would love to wear a dress like that, but I have no more use for a wedding dress. Can I get #3 in pink or blue or green and in non-wedding-ish fabric?
