This is actually my bridesmaid dress for my wedding this June. Good Luck! It will beautiful!|||thats pretty and nice for an outdoor wedding. i like the lace on the top.|||As many wedding dresses as there are, I am amazed at how they are so different and so gorgeous at the same time. Your choice is exceptional!|||It's a lovely dress, but I wouldn't wear it outside - it's more of a formal-black tie, type of dress. However, you can do what you want, it's just my opinion. As for affording it, if you know of a handy seamstress she could create a replica of it. Either from a pattern or by altering a similar dress. The cut of the dress is very "prom dress-ish" so perhaps you can purchase a prom dress that is similar and she could add the detail and lace. Good luck (and good choice).|||ivory . Loved it! Look in discount stores. print the picture and visit every wedding discount around you . It can be a fun adventure. I found my designer dress like that for 25% of the actual price. If you have no luck, then pay full price|||its cool but not my style.....|||WOW tthat dress is beautiful ..... and thanks for the site I still cant find a dress I like either|||WOW, I wish I had the body to wear that!|||It's odd - goes from slinky to that fullness at the bottom - doesn't really match top to bottom.
