    They're the two that I adore too...especially the bottom right.

    I just found it on a random "wedding dress detailing" google search, so no idea where from unfortunately. (they were hosted on a crummy blog and not attributed to any website)

    POST IT!!

    Awesome! I'd love to start ballet again.....if only I was the size 10 I was back then when I gave it up (though maybe my weight now is attributed to giving it up in the first place......hmmmmm!)

    Will post proper dress thread when I have my ideas together but hear our my favourites from Sat

    Jenny Packham Renee (even though it was much to big looked better than i would eve have guessed and i tried it on to proove to future BM it wasn't the look for me!)

    Roland joyce lacey dress

    which looked far better on than in the photo

    and these are one sI really want to try even though i know they will be out of budget

    Ooh la la, the bottom 2 in your pics are both (you've guessed it) JP. I desperately wanted to try the left one (think called Anne?) but I couldn't find a sample and anyway, couldn't afford. The other is a good few seasons old now too - I showed that pic of that particular sleeve to my seamstress to help her understand what I wanted for my sleeves! Think top right is JP too, but without seeing the front I couldn't be sure. Gah, stop posting her dresses and giving me wobbles!!! ?

    It's called papillon - when i tried it on it did look amazing, but the dress was a bit overpowering on me, I couldn't carry it off. Plus being a short arse it would have cost a bomb to shorten it with all that beading. If you get it I shall cry happy tears for you ?

    (I think our posts crossed!)

    awwwww!

    I like these two too....

    JP Claire

    JP Shukura (This one especially!)

    I think I'm going to have to save like mad for a JP, or see if I can get one made that's similar.

    Good choice. I tried claire on but it didn't do anything for me as I'm not straight up/down - papillon suited me as the layers to it suited and flattered my curvy (read: fat) figure. I love the other one you've put up. Don't recognise it so I think it must be a newer season.

    Hmmm......I'm not straight up/down either. But I think that the second one would suit my figure.

    Lovely dresses!

    My friend wore JP Claire & looked amazing - one of my favourite dresses out of all the weddings I've been to.

    Slightly concerned that she was a size 10 and still had to wear sucky in pants under it but I still love the JP dresses & Alice Temperley too. Can't see me in a corset / big skirt style at all - looking for something chiffony, floaty and beaded!

    Sigh more lovely dresses OLL

    I meant bottom left before the short one.

    Papilion is lovely too but I definately couldn't carry that off.

    Guess what I just found out

    The shop I am goin gto with my sister in Aug to look at dresses has just annonced they are haviing a JP designer day on the day of my appointment with lots of JP to try on.

    I will be in my element Claire Pettibone, JP (although still not convinced she is right for me or my wemming but I have never felt so glamorous in a dress untill I tried renee on). Stephine Allin and Sassi Holford.

    I told myself I wouldn't have aan expensieve dress But I am getting very excited at the prospect of trying on some of the dresses I have picked out on websites.

    Of course you can,

    It wasn't even having the day when I booked the appointment, it's like an added bonus.

    but I'm not sure JP is right for my dayalthough Renee was amazing when I tried it on even though it was too big and had to be held in and up.
