What a saga!,but at last I found THE dress,THE ellusive ONE dress which is just perfect which I have heard every other bride talk about.Just like they all said,when I saw it I knew,I cried,I laughed,I wouldn,t show it to OH,I showed it to mum and she loves it too.I didnt think it existed for me and I was all prepared just to make do with something else(I was even looking at trouser suits for brides) when like a bolt of lightening,when I was looking for something else entirely,I saw it.
(Picture deleted incase any of the family see it.Link to seller further down thread.)
I put the piccie in my wedding slideshow and sat and cried at it.It all looks so absolutely perfect together.The skirt of the dress is the same shape as my chosen main flower,lisianthus.It couldn,t be more perfect.I comes with a wide wrap which I will line in a warm brocade for wearing outside and I will get a bolero made to match too.Oh and not that it would have made any difference as once I saw this I would have paid the earth for it,but,the entire outfit made to measure will be under £200.

Its from a UK ebay seller.I have mailed her and she will do made to measure for me.It has everything I have been searching for in vain.The deep purple taffeta is my dream fabric but I was thinking I would never find it.The neckline is perfect for me,the wrapover and rouched bits still hide anything that needs hidden,the side flowers take the eye away from any tummy and emphasise the waist,the skirt is gorgeous and the top has a beautiful lace up back with wide ribbons.Its even boned like a proper corset and has bra cups inside.
I went to see the venue in person at the weekend,I had chosen it from photos.Seeing the venue for real helped me find the dress as the venue is just so amazing,even more so than in any photograph,that I left there wanting black tie and ballgowns all the way.I knew it had to be something braver and fancier than I had settled for so I looked for ballgowns and hey presto,my dream dress appeared."Reaching out to touch the stars dont forget the flowers at your feet".0 -

OH is pleased too as it means he can choose his waistcoat to match now,this seller might even be able to make it,that would be perfect.
I have not been precious about showing my family the dresses I have been considering along the way,but this one is a secret to everyone but my mum,oh and all of you.
Actually I will take the photo off this post later just incase anyone sees it who shouldn,t."Reaching out to touch the stars dont forget the flowers at your feet".0 -
