I found....The One! (Come take a look ;) )

After a bit of a shakey beginning... (see my semi-rant in my LiveJournal ) .... things turned out okay and my sister Linn, my best-friend Shawntell, and I are all proud owners of new wedding gowns.

Take a look!

If you remember in my previous thread I had some gowns picked out.

Well Gown #1 didn't look right on me and Gown #2 I never tried on! It's the dress Shawntell is wearing! *laughs*

When she fell in love with it, I dropped it from my list. :)

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the one I fell in love with is strapless. (I swore I wouldn't wear one :rolleyes: ;) )

It does look nice as a strapless, but I think I'm going to have some spaghetti straps put in. :)

Very pretty - love it without straps. Is it a Maggie Sottero?

Straps might be a good idea! WIth everything else you don't want to be hiking your dress up all the time.

Love the dresses.....simple and elegant!

W:cool:W!! ;)

Have you gotta TWIN ??

Maybe an OLDER Twin? :(

/s/ Durty Ole :( Phred

PS: Ya Look ***STUNNING***!! ;)

wow.. I think it looks awesome :D

Beautiful Kimmy, simply beautiful!

But I'm a bit confused.....your sister and your friend are getting married too? If so, what a successful shopping spree! :D

Oh Kimmy!

I absolutely LOVE it!!! Don't put any straps on it. It looks beautiful just the way it is on you!!

Same question here :confused: ;) !

I love your dress a lot!! that skirt-part lookes really special!!

ps. Don't forget to remove that pricetag, lol!!!

YOU LOOK SO PRETTY!!!! I love the detail on the side how it waves down...... :D and I LOVE your bridesmaids dresses...

I wondered if that one your friend was wearing was the other gown you picked out ... :)

I remember when I was trying to find a dress.... and i had a david's bridal book.. and i had two i loved... that ended up being sooooo ugly. My mom had picked one out of the book that i hated, but when i tried it on i knew it was the one..


:D :D :D

Andy hasn't seen it has he?

Thank you!

Samantha's Puppy - I'm not sure who the designer is.

Oh Phred.... :o :D ;)

Sara - Andy hasn't seen the dress. For the most part, he doesn't browse PT unless I point him to certain threads. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. ;) But if he sees it, it's okay. We may have some pictures taken together before the ceremony anyway.

Yep.

Shawntell is getting married in August. Linn in September. Myself next July. :)

I'm in Linn and Shawntell's weddings and they are both in mine. :D

You look great!!!! :D

Your bridesmaides dresses are great too! I know where you could get a few of those dresses cheap!!;) :p :D

Oh Kimmy...IT'S BEAUTIFUL (and so are you:))!

You couldn't have picked a more lovely dress!

Its lovely Kimmy. You look stunning in it.

I LOVE the dress you picked out, its really beautiful on you!

Don't add straps...it looks so nice, you have really good shoulders, back and arms for it. It wont fall down, mine was strapless too, they just make the bodice tighter.

:) BEAUTIFUL!!!

I say go for the spaghetti straps. That way you don't have to have the dress so tight as to be uncomfortable (aka "snug"), and elegant little straps won't hurt the look, and you'll be more comfortable not worrying about it!

The bridesmaid dresses are pretty, too! Have you set a date or time of day? In any case, looks like fun!
