OM dress *Flash* - Model vs Real

Posted on Planning 95

I thought it would be fun to flash a pic of the dress as you first saw it on the model and then what you looked like wearing it on the day. When I first asked to try on the dress id seen, I didnt really like it. But then my BM suggested changing the belt and I was in love with it! This thread may...

This thread may hopefully help new brides choose their dress, as the picture of the model in the dress doesnt reflect how it will actually look when you try it on xx

I saw this dress in Perfect Wedding Magazine:

    Ladies, all your dresses are amazing and I can genuinely say that you all look so much better in your dresses than the models!

    Pick number twooooooooo! It's bloody gorgeous on you. Everyone looks better than the models. Kharv your model really shows off the dress well, but I think it looks better with a bit more curves. Footlong, yours is the bestest best dress in the whole wide world ever! I love it so much and the photo of you dancing makes me want to poke my eyes (in a totally non -weirdo way) out it's so beautiful.

    This is the model


    a bit of a better one on a catwalk


    and me pre-alterations and in a teeny dressing room taking a naughty snap in the mirror.

    Thanks Gemgem. No the shoulder strap came with it, as did the cathedral length veil. It's by Ronald Joyce and called Livia.

    Finally an OM so can join in! Here's my dress on the model





    And here's me in it:-



    I edited the dress slightly as I did away with the flower and swapped it for a sash and a vintage inspired brooch.

    Here is the back (although, not a very good picture)

    And on me, with train removed, detachable sleeves added and 3 or 4 layers of underskirt removed (and still looking more princessy and swishy than the model pic!)

    I don't actually know how to quote on an iPad - I don't seem to be able to.

    The dress is Allure Bridal 8825.

    I love it! You look fab. I think your model and roseabilty's must have gone to the same modelling school. Seems the little teapot pose is all the rage.
