And yeah that model is skinny!

You said you were worried it won't look the same in person, so I would suggest that you have other dresses in mind when you go try it on. Either way, I hope you take losts of pics. I would love to see it on someone else besides the very skinny model. lol

Re: Give me your honest opinions... PLEASE: Posted: Nov 20, 2008 9:49 PM Go to message in response to: lichalisette; I think the dress is very pretty. But please please try it one before you buy it and try on something that you never thought you would like. Myself and so many other people have bought dresses on the other side of the spectrum of what we thought we would wear. I wanted a mermaid gown to show off my body, its something i would of bought for any other occasion its just who i am! But i did not feel like a bride in it i ended up with a ball gown!

So try that gown and others in a wide range of styles.
Lets not all get caught up in our wedding. Remember we should not only be planning for a our wedding but more so we should be planning for our marriage. More so then fighting over shades of peach, tuxs, cake flavors and only god knows what else. Because the next morning it is over, guests are gone the flowers have died the cake well lets face it 1/2 of it was tossed out. Cinderella is still a maid, the limo is now a pumpkin And there is life to face ok after wild crazy monkey sex for 7 nights straight, lets not kid out selfs there are priorities After its all gone there's still bills to pay and a job to go back to

Although the model has a very small waist, she isn't as sickly skinny looking as some models I have seen. I agree with everyone else, try it on before you buy. I had my heart set on a dress and when I tried it on, it was awful! I went with a sheath type dress in the end.

Valentines day wedding

I'm a Demetrios Bride myself- Love their dresses! I have seen this one in person here at their bridal shop where I bought mine. The detail is beautiful but to get the full effect of the skirt you must wear an extra full caroline. The toole is soft and not stiff. The back of the dress is very sexy. If you are looking for that GIRLIE-GIRL/PRINCESS look this is a good dress- but as pp said please-please try it on.

Re: Give me your honest opinions... PLEASE: Posted: Nov 21, 2008 2:22 PM Go to message in response to: lichalisette; Honestly. . .

I don't like it. It's too over the top. It's the kind of dress that will make a person say "Wow! Look at that dress!" rather than "Wow! Look at that bride!"

I think a dress should emphasize the loveliness of the person wearing it, rather than distract from her. When I looked at the picture, the first thing I noticed was all the tulle, and the dark beading. Then, as an afterthought, I realized that there was someone actually wearing it.

Re: Give me your honest opinions... PLEASE: Posted: Nov 21, 2008 11:48 PM Go to message in response to: lichalisette; OMG! I have looked at this dress and think it is breath-taking! I wouldn't pass it up! I am looking for a red (in that family of color, not fire-truck red) dress for my October '09 wedding. There were several Demetrios dresses I would love if they came in the color I am looking for.

Good luck making the final decision, I think you are headed in a great direction!

Re: Give me your honest opinions... PLEASE: Posted: Nov 23, 2008 4:09 AM Go to message in response to: arwplastics; I think the model is totally airbrushed (a girl that skinny can't have such wide hips in comparison to her waist, surely?) but the dress is pretty. You must definitely try it on, though, because it will look completely different on a girl with a real waist (which I assume you have!)
