davinci made my dress! i LOVE the 8220. i don't like the other one. it's too similar to mine as is the maggie sottero. the 8220 in the champagne is GORGEOUS i saw it when i tried my dress on. i think that's the dress lisa is wearing for her VR...but hers is red. better yet, i DARE you to wear the red one...

EDIT: btw, all of those dresses are on ebay super cheap. the davinci ones are being sold by the same person i bought mine from. they are fantastic and i totally recommend them. as will daddy because they are 1/2 the price of the bridal salons...

Yes, Caryn. I thought that. Unfortunately the bridal shop by me doesn't carry the 8220. There is one by Mom and Dad's house that carries it. I'll probably try to pop in while I'm home for Mary's wedding. I looked on ebay and I found a few of the stores that sell them, but I don't want to buy a dress without trying them on first.
We'll see. Cordelia and I just had a lovely time dying easter eggs. Yes, she tried to eat the dye and had a blast splashing it all over the kitchen table.

So Lindsay...while you were at your meeting with Randy, I know you must have asked him if he was done with my pictures yet. So what did he say???

Don't even laugh about it Amanda!!! Randy was shocked that as we looked at his pictures I was saying things like "Oh there's Maggie!" and "OOHH look, it's Hula Girl..." I didn't see any of your pictures hanging out in the studio though... Joe, however, sends his love. He was equally amused about my Disfriends

I'm so sorry your Gram's dress didn't work out. I hope you can re-purpose the lace in different ways (like in a bouquet wrap.) Good luck in your new dress hunt!

Thanks! We'll see how everything goes.

So Lindsay, did you get your movie? I got mine! Love it! LOL on naming your future daughter, Andalasia.

Very sorry to hear about Gram's dress. But sounds like you & Caryn have some fabulous ideas about incorporating it into your wedding, which will still be very special. On the plus side, it is great that you were able to find out now that it could be a problem. Imagine finding out too late that the cleaning or something didn't work and then having unnecessary dress drama....

Have fun with your dress search!

Thanks! Yes, I did get Enchanted which I am now totally in love with . Sigh.... McDreamy is so dreamy in that movie.

Unnecessary dress drama was really the turning point for me saying no to the dress. I didn't want it to be a month before the wedding and I go to pick it up and I hate it. I am so lucky to have Caryn hanging around with different dress ideas for me. I was actually thinking that maybe I'll take some of the lace and make a shawl.

Thanks!!! Welcome to my PJ. I am so jealous that you live near Disneyland. I went there a few years ago and just fell in love. (My favorite parts are the Sleeping Beauty pictures on the castle walls and the Sleepy Beauty drinking fountain...)

And now an update on my guestbook
UPS shipped it to the WRONG APARTMENT!!!! Worse than that, they left it on the front step on Thursday and NO ONE LIVES THERE!!!! So now UPS, the Ebay seller and myself are actively trying to find it. I was pretty upset about it last night, but as BM Mary pointed out there will be more (In the past month there have been 3 on ebay) and we have time. And I used my cc so I'll at least get my money back. But still. How annoying.

i'm voting for this dress

with this ribbon tied this way in the back

since the dress is so cheap, we can get zippers sewn in the back so the buttons won't be an issue. i think this one is good for all sizes and shapes. ME LIKEY.

Caryn do you not recall our previous conversations about this dress? Let me refresh your memory. 1.) No one can try it on. I don't want people to spend $90 on a dress without the option to try it on first.

2.) To have it taken in and shortened (because they are all too long) and add a zipper will be at least $150 (my dress for Mary's wedding was $100 for alterations and they took 2 inches off the bottom and half and inch off each shoulder... the alterations for your wedding were $150 as well)

3.) The smallest size available on the website is 4. I don't think that will fit you and Megan.

5.) The sash is $39.99 and they don't have it in pink

6.) It's not navy nor is it available in navy.

Other than that it's lovely.


Since you didn't even BOTHER to ask about my UPS drama, I'll tell you about it. My apartment complex called the person who (appartently) lives in the other apartment and my box is being delivered to the front desk as we speak (hopefully)

 

[ampooh]

I love how you've had to put on the 's. I am so enjoying your PJ.

I really hate that Gram's dress did not work out but I'm sure you will find the perfect dress for you.

on the box being delivered to the front desk.

THANK GOODNESS they found your book! Keep us posted!

 

[caryndisneydiva]

unfortunately i am no longer a size 2, so there IS a size for me...

glad you got the box back. WHY did that person not return it when they received it?

 

[newyearsbride]

Yay for pictures! I'm so so sorry about your grand mother's dress, how disappiointing, but you're going to be beautiful in whatever dress you pic! Can't wait to read more!

Um... to help Caryn make her case if that dress is only $90, I'm pretty sure it already has a zipper and those buttons are just for show...

I love that you used the pot stirring smiley (it's my favorite one) I read online somewhere (right around the time that Caryn was deciding that we'd wear those dresses at her wedding) that they were actual buttons and not a zipper. So that was pretty much the end of that. I don't have the patience for all of those buttons. N.O. (PS, totally enjoying your TR. I tried to convince DF that we could wear hats like those. I was told no, absolutely not. Your DH is more fun than my DF )

The GUESTBOOK IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My apartment complex tracked down my package from UPS. Apparently it was delivered to a different apartment and they happen to be expecting a package too. So they opened it and it wasn't what they ordered and then read the label with my name on it. They assumed that someone would be looking for it so they kept it figuring UPS would say that they shipped it to their apartment. So everything worked out fine.

Here are some pictures of the book
The front

The first page

The second page

The box part

The certificate of authenticity. This was really cool. It talks about how they took the actual movie prop and studied it so that it matched perfectly. Apparently the actual movie prop is in the Walt Disney Archives. I MUST WORK IN THAT BUILDING!!!! How cool!!! (I was a history major and I REALLY wanted to work in a museum. It fits perfectly!) Anyway, here's the pic

I'm sooooooo happy

[camara381]

Congrats on finally getting your book!!!! Its beautiful.

I have to agree with you even if the dress is only $90 the extra charges woulod rack up. I am sure Caryn can find a similar dress that will look gorgeous on her.


Oh I saw these thank you cards at Target that would go with your invitations perfectly, they are even the same pink!!!
