Answer 1

GORGEOUS DRESS!

They are a big place and look respectable. I would order it way early though just in case you do have to return it. I wouldn't order if they say 6 wks to delivery and your wedding is 9 weeks away. However I ordered my dress at David's Bridal and they ordered the wrong size and I had to have them return it. It was more than 6 mo before the wedding so I had plenty of time to get any alterations done and whatnot.

Honestly I'd give it a shot. If it's your dream dress you aren't going to find another one. Plus that is a very unique dress. So you aren't likely to find another but you aren't going to really know until you see yourself in it.

I'm not sure about the tiara though. It might be too much. The tall tiaras don't look near as good as smaller ones and until you see it on your head you don't know if it's going to overwhelm. It should accent the dress and you don't want to look like you think you are the Queen of England. But if your hair is long and going to be in an updo, your hair will be a lot higher than normal as well. But if you are leaving your hair down or mostly down, it's gonna stand up tall--perhaps too tall. That dress is a focal point all it's own and you don't want to detract with too much jewelry. I absolutely LOVE that dress. The train is GORGEOUS.

I'd order the dress and try it on and make sure thats the right one. Then I'd look at different tiaras just to see after you've figured out how you want your hair. Good luck!

Answer 2

i've never bought a dress online.. my tiara looks like that though (and i bought it off ebay!)..
i would be careful buying a dress online..maybe take the design to a seamstress and get it made (that way you don't have any bad suprises before the wedding!)
-they do have a Satisfaction Guarantee though,,which is always good.
