I bought the dress very soon after getting engaged and I was happy about it. If I was going to spend hundreds of dollars on a dress I was never going to wear again, at least the proceeds should go to a good cause, and since they were going to New York City public schools, it's like I'm giving back to the community. I never actually posted a photo of the dress I bought for fear of Dude seeing, so here are the originals.
The top lace piece comes off, which was great for a costume change mid-reception.
MISS:
Because the dress had to be taken in from a 14 to about a 4 or 6, and because there were two pieces, one of which was a really intricate lace applique thing, the alterations cost as much as the dress. Luckily, Pinpoint Bridal in Manhattan did a great job. Not the best in communication, but the final result was amazing.
Here it is in action:

What a beautiful dress! The lace is amazing! So cool that you were able to contribute to a good cause to. btw, I enjoy your blog, and gave you a 'Lemonade Award' the other day.
