I did it, I found the dress.
 
Ever sense the very start when i tried on that Tulle Poof dress at David's Bridal with my mom.  I knew it was that style, that fabric that I wanted.
 
A'course my heart broke when I found out it didnt come in extra length.  I foraged on looking for something even better with the extra length.
 
I went and scoured "Madonna's" with Meliss, they didnt have anything even close.  I figured id try on different styles to see if something else wowed me.  I didnt look as hot in any of them as I did in the poofy princess Tulle fabric one.
 
Then I went with my mom again yesterday.  She had me take work off to avoid the crowd.  We went to "Roxy's".  I went straight to my size, they had nothing even close that I could try on. 
 
I went to the clerk and described "MY" dress to her, the dress of my dreams, the dress i havnt found, the figment of my imagination. 
"I want laced cap sleeves with sparkle embelishments,  I want a corset back with a sweetheart front, I want transitional beading and embellishment to go from my middle down passed my hips, i want it to gradually turn into "tulle" fabric and poof out for miles at my feet."

SHE LAUGHED AT ME!!!
 
"hehe, well, you can feel free to look through our catalogs, we just got our spring additions for 09"
 
A little dishearted my mom and i plunked down at the table and started aimlessly flipping through pages.
 
My mom loved all kinds of dresses stopping my maniacle flipping with "o-0-00- look at this one" and thats when i saw it.  I saw MY DRESS  the dress i didnt think anyone had made!
 
THIS DRESS:   http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?style=S5202CS
 
Im thinking of writing the designer Maggie Sottero a personal thank you card : ) 
 
Its been ordered with my prebaby measurements, with any luck it will fut come wedding time.

    AAAAHHHHHHH!!!   I just clicked on my own link and used the zoom in feature!   OMG I am soooo in love!!!  YAYAYAY!!!  ITS GORGEOUS!!!  Im sure most of it is the super hot model but hey, cut 50 more pounds of fat off me and id look just like her! 

    We got a good deal too!  a lot of maggie sottero dresses are in the thousand dollar range.  We had to pay extra to get it with extra length and in a plus size.  But all in all the complete bill was $700.00. 

    YYYYIIIPPPEEE!!!!

  • Twylarants said on Jan 23, 2009....
    It's gorgeous, Star.  Will we get to see pictures of you in the dress?
  • hotaka said on Jan 23, 2009....
    It's a gorgeous dress. You said you'll be wearing it in a few months. Sorry but i haven't been able to keep up with all your posts and I am sure you have explained this elsewhere but are you having the wedding after you have had the baby? It's a very slimming dress and I wondered how the babybump will stand out. Or, if you wear it after the birth then you had better hope you haven't gained too much. My wife actually got skinnier.

    I am sure you will look radiant in this dress. It must be so exciting to find the right one for you. Congratulations!
  • woman said on Jan 23, 2009....
    There. Not wasn't that fun after all? See, your mom just wanted you to have this experience. It is truly a princess dress and you will look lovely. I'm so happy for you and thanks for sharing.

    Very dreamy :) I loved the beaded lace on the bodice as well *swoons* ...

    ...I hope we do get to see you in it!

    Would it not be grand to have as background for the wedding picture, the blue house you just discovered?  That would truly be a fairytale package, star! :)
