Also I'm still trying to decide if I want a dress I can wear again (I love that Sherry of Young House Love dyed her wedding dress to wear again) or if happy to have it as a one-off, and also if I want a 'bridey bridey' dress or something really casual. Maybe a compromise is one that can be changed afterwards?
As you can tell I'm totally unsure on any aspect of the dress!
Keep in mind I'll be size 16-18 for the day am a tad busty and about 5'5" - 5'6", so itsy mitsy dresses worn by waifs just aren't gonna cut it. These are some of the ones I'm liking at the moment, putting together a portfolio of sorts, to take with me when I eventually go meet with someone, to see if any of them are realistically 'do-able' for me & my bod.
Given it's going to be the middle of Winter, I'll probably wear a stoll (stole?) or similar, which also helps hide the upper arms, not a fave body part!

This is the style I've liked from the start (photo source) |
Casual yet still bridey, and like the flouncy capped shoulders (photo from google search oops) |

I'm loving the Christina Applegate one at the moment!
With the big day less than 4 months away I really do need to get cracking on the dress!! If anyone knows of any great (and not overly expensive) dress makers in the Newcastle/Hunter Valley/even Hills district of Sydney, feel free to let me know!!! (melissab9@hotmail.com)
I've definitely got a crush on the Christina dress, just found the view of the back.
