I was trying to find pics on here so I typed in mantilla and here you are choosing a mantilla too. I had to order a smaller size, so I had to exchange it so now I'm waiting again for my dress to come back in. Apparently, the larger size I ordered would cost too much in alterations to try to get the part over the stomach to lay flat. And since the smaller size fit me better there the seamstress said it would be better to get the smaller size and let out some of the sides...or loose 5 lbs...LOL. She also smoothed by back out so that I didn't have back cleavage ! Now that's hilarious! I will have to teach my daughter to smooth out my back in the dress since she's the only one in my party.
So, here's the question...what color dress and veil did you order? Because when I looked at the ivory veil it didn't match my dress.
I got my dress and veil in ivory. You went with the ivory as well?
Here's a pic of me with the veil:
What size did you get your dress? I didn't know about the petite until way after I ordered my dress but now I'm wondering if I'll have the same problem. I'm 5'4".
