Thanks Meghan!

Meghan took a stab on the website and found this dress which is really cool.
Things I love:
1. The Asymmetrical bodice with pleats works well with all body types
2. The beading, oh so cute!!!

Thanks Meghan!

What do you think?

Some new ideas:

I have a few ideas pulled together, just in case... the first 2 are other styles that are similar and the nice thing with the picture is you can see 2 girls of different body types together. The 3rd picture shows one of the many combination of the separates collection. The final one was an idea of doing maybe a shorter dress, extra flow and really fun....

Another Tie!!!

So here we go again.... the proof is in the chart. I am going to think about what we should do... I see 2 options:

1. We go back and try on another set to see if we can all agree, i was actually thinking of doing the separates collection from Alfred Angelo? We could do the pick-up skirt with some different tops so that we can be all feeling good, or we can try on another dress style.

2. Art and I elope...



Just Kidding.

The Totals:

As you can see we have a total TIE!!!!!!! We have the Pick-up Skirt (the "red dress") and the A-line (the "Purple dress") So now is that hard part... I need you all to E-mail me with your vote of the 2 dresses and tell me which ONE is your favorite.

The Voting is In... Well Almost.

We have taken one of the 3 dresses off the list. It was the 2-tone dress on the last post. We are sitting on the following dress types, with their corresponding Ring Faerie dress.

Dress style 6495 (Pick-up Skirt) + Dress style 6473













Dress style 7016 (Chiffon Empire with Satin) + Dress style 6581












We're almost there! I'll post the final results soon.

Alfred Angelo Dresses

So its finally here! Meghan, Art and myself went over to Alfred Angelo (In Rancho Cucamonga) and worked with a fabulous woman named Suzana (Who is the best!) and we tried some of the dresses we were liking style wise....

Top Left (Style 6495) :
The Classic Pick-up dress. This one was quite nice, you can have straps put on (either full width or spaghetti) and it has a built in corset, Meghan liked this one because it had a nice shape when she put it on and it was quite comfortable.

Top Right (style 7016):
The flowy chiffon dress. Meghan loved this dress since it was also very supportive but it has the nice gathering of fabric in the front, this dress was very flattering!

Lower Left (Style 7017):
Flowy Chiffon with contrasting bow. This number was quite nice, though the store didn't have this in the size we wanted but we tried on a smaller size to see fit. This one is quite cute in the darker color (shown) we were trying on a reverse with the dress being yellow and the band being this darker persimmon color.

Lower Right (Style 6582):
The Ring Fareie dress! This one i LOVE so much, i hope that Ivy loves it too! i want to add some pretty flowers on the edge to give it a little cute factor (in yellow)

So the Girls have received the style numbers and are off to try these on and we will see if one gets chosen!

Celebrating a Memorable Day!
