LOVE it.

Esp if you have a small waist (I certainly haven't).

belgo · 18/12/2006 19:24

I really love it, very different to what I've seen recently.

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 18/12/2006 19:25

Thats lovely.I really like it.

Dottydotthehalls · 18/12/2006 19:25

oh my god it's gorgeous - very striking, very different - would suit getting married in an old Church!

WigWamBam · 18/12/2006 19:26

It's beautiful.

quanglewangle · 18/12/2006 19:27

Quite like it, but a bit too Maid Marian for me

treacletart · 18/12/2006 19:28

Its very lovely. What would you wear on your head?

Dottydotthehalls · 18/12/2006 19:29

ooh - you could wear a wreath thing (don't know what they're called!) of white/cream flowers all around.

Can I get married again please?!

i am thinking a v small family only wedding, with 2 dds as flower girls in deep red dresses, to match my simple bouquet of red roses (might chance stitching omn dress to red?) colour to match dp tie, i would like it outside by either a castle ruin or there is a old stone fort i know of in ireland... late summer evening....

(this is plan B, Plan A was ice castle in lake louise canada, but that would cost 10k, so its out!lol)

is beautiful but very Celtic (even elfin) - if this is really 'you' then go for it but tread carefully.

Would also need seriously good substructure as it doesn't look too, um, supportive, but I suppose you may be trimmer than me (esp in tummy region...)

hermykne · 18/12/2006 19:33

i would suggest it being all plain no decoration. the celtic thing isnt me.

Lovely. It's all down to what it looks like on though.

JackieNoHoHo · 18/12/2006 20:01

That's gorgeous - I immediately thought of Cate Blanchett as Galadriel in the Lord of the Rings films, did a search on Galadriel, and one of the links was this one , which might go nicely if you could find something similar on sale in the UK (although some of the models leave something to be desired).

lol, yes they don't exactly 'sell' the product!

i agree chaos, i think what i would do is take this dress to a dressmaker and have it make in stiffer material, slightly more corsetty to give more support, but essential this 'design'...

its beautiful, I could imagine you getting married somewhere like Tintagel in Cornwall.

JackieNoHoHo · 18/12/2006 20:06

Found this site that have some lovely bits in the 'tiaras' section. Not cheap, mind.

JackieNoHoHo · 18/12/2006 20:08

Getting way too excited about this, but also found this site that has some beautiful things.
