After trying on dozens of dresses at five different shops, I bought my dress last weekend! It's a Renella DeFina and because it was a sample, I got it for a great price! It's being cleaned right now but I hope to have some pics of me in it soon.
It's hard to tell from the pic, but it's a slim A-line and I will probably take out the crinoline so it lays closer to the body. It doesn't come with the brooch/feather/etc. and I am undecided as to what I will do in that area. I have plenty of time to decide though .
