Kimera

The dresses here can be customized in different ways, made to measure, and they're all made of silk.
I really like it with the red sash. This dress was a little tight but it was the best fitting sample.
One of the customizations i liked was to put a chiffon overlay on the skirt. The dresses have a small fishtail train.
The bottom two are photoshopped with a fuller skirt to get a better idea of what I might like.
This is a lot like my original idea of wearing an obi with a dress.

demetrios

We weren't supposed to take pics but we tried to sneak a couple.
It's a beautiful Demetrios dress, reduced to $895 from $1600. Probably still too expensive fore me, but I was falling in love with it.
It surprised me because it isn't a shape I'd normally choose. It was a little tight around the belly, but tailoring, proper underwear would fix that.
here's some other girl in the same dress: http://www.recycledbride.com/listing/wedding-dresses/demetrios-ilissa-900

and just for fun, i photoshopped the bottom of a tulle dress to it.

Thread Design

Today we went to Thread Design
obviously, none of these dresses fit me correctly. I'd have to get a larger size and have it tailored.
I love these dresses because they're real silk, very lightweight and flow-y.
All of them are $480, but this week they're on sale for $384.

This was our favorite. It can come in any color, but the only size that fit me was this dark one.

Marilyn:

Played with it in photoshop, tried to make it match the blush pink of the Breck dress.

Kiki: Similar top to the Marilyn.



These photos look horrible, and the dress was several sizes too small, but it's a very pretty dress and we all liked it's blush pink color.
