yep, the other one, well i've been able to retain weight, not lose it...which is still good, i'm not gaining :)
buuuut, i had to take it back....but it was ok! i found a much nicer gown, for $50 less, and it's white, so since i had to exchange ONLY for the amount of my gown ormore, i got 1 of DB's pair of white satin shoes....but i like 'em!
here they are...no pics of me in it, i left cam at home, and have no one here to help me! i guess later i could take pics just how it fits....
it is still a little snug, but i'd only need about 5 or 10 to fit this, not the 20 i'd need for the other dress :rolleyes:

if all else fails, i did find a woman here, who is VERY experienced with putting corsets into gowns, that don't already have them...since mine already has boning in it, she said she could insert the loops, and make the lacer, and only charge me $75....making the dress and shoes, $225!
neat(yet wierd)thing, is this dress does NOT require hemming?! with my little wedge foot flops, it's about 1 1/2 inches long...the shoes i got, have 3 inch heels....so no need for hemming! and the woman said that she can also steam clean it for me...
it is missing some bead work, but with the silver emboroidery, you can't tell! so she said what she'd do is, if in a spot, the beads were "lopsided" in number, if i wanted, she could take off other beads, to make them "even"(like where it looks like flowers? some "petals" are missing beads)....and she wouldnt charge! and she'd "burn off" the little threads...i asked if she meant "burn" and she said not with a lighter, but that she has something that will keep them from running....and that she'd "tie off" the threads that have beading on them!
