You look absolutely radiant - and I can only imagine how amazing you'll look the day of with your hair done too. So excited for you! I can't wait to hear how the wedding goes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-finale-stripes-one-shoulder-shapewear/page/2#post-408535 Sun, 21 Aug 2011 14:23:19 +0000 rae 408535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, everyone, for your kind words, wishes, and thoughtful comments. Angie-approved... yessssss!</p> <p>Thanks especially to Sona and Anya, who put the bee in my bonnet about hiring someone. The cost was actually, like, 1/3 of what I imagined, so I'm going to go for it and avoid any future neck burns. One less thing to stress over. </p> <p>AJ, yes, I admit I'm a bit misty. As a wedding gift, my fiance wrote the cutest song ever. He played it over a few times last night, making plans to have it set over the wedding video, and I must say I felt pretty mushy! </p> <p>Debora, if you insist! Hehe... my father is actually our photographer. He was super into amateur photography for years. Walmart actually refused to make copies of his shots from my college graduation, because they thought they were professionally done. While irritating at the time, it's a pretty cool story now. </p> <p>DL, I was also disappointed in BCBG. Serious design flaw here. </p> <p>Bella, I love Amyreh's hair, too, though my hair is so heavy that it hurts my scalp and neck if it is up for too long... wow, sounds kind of creepy now that I'm typing it, lol. But the boy likes my hair down, too, so I'm pretty set on that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-finale-stripes-one-shoulder-shapewear/page/2#post-408438 Sun, 21 Aug 2011 00:48:55 +0000 bella 408438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! Have you considered a high pony tail a la Amyreh?<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-pics-1" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ing-pics-1</a><br /> I think this dress would look absolutely fantastic with your hair up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-finale-stripes-one-shoulder-shapewear/page/2#post-408409 Sat, 20 Aug 2011 23:34:40 +0000 Alessi 408409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! You look like a movie star in both dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-finale-stripes-one-shoulder-shapewear/page/2#post-408326 Sat, 20 Aug 2011 19:04:04 +0000 Jonesy 408326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I love the striped dress! There is something exuberant and fun about it--it seems to really suit your personality. The silhouette is perfect too. It just looks like *you* and it's lovely. I'm so happy for you that you found The Dress and didn't have to settle for something less than perfect. And with 6 days to spare :)!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-finale-stripes-one-shoulder-shapewear/page/2#post-408322 Sat, 20 Aug 2011 18:41:01 +0000 HeleenH 408322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely in the striped dress. I like the one shouldered one too, but if you can't get the bust right even after 20 minutes of fiddling, you won't be a happy bride in it.<br /> I think your hair is beautiful the way it is, do you really need to curl it? Aren't there other styling options? I think it is always easier to work with the hair rather than against it.<br /> If you are sure you want to curl it, have you tried a styling iron? Even a straightening one can be used to make beautiful curls. There are tutorials on the internet, like here <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dbk_gGCh8cA" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dbk_gGCh8cA</a> and <a href="http://www.ehow.com/video_4790766_use-straightening-iron-curl-hair.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ehow.com/video_4790.....-hair.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-finale-stripes-one-shoulder-shapewear/page/2#post-408318 Sat, 20 Aug 2011 18:26:47 +0000 renae 408318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The striped dress looks gorgeous on you and you look so happy. That says a lot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-finale-stripes-one-shoulder-shapewear/page/2#post-408311 Sat, 20 Aug 2011 18:02:58 +0000 suzanne m 408311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh ny, that dress is perfect on you, Rae. You do glow!! I love your hair swooped to the front as in #6, plus with it no flowing down your back, eyes will be on your cute figure. Do not stress over curling the ends! If it doesn't work while praticing with lots of hairspray, just forget it and know you will look beautiful. All eyes will be on you and your gorgeous smile, sweet Bride. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-finale-stripes-one-shoulder-shapewear/page/2#post-408306 Sat, 20 Aug 2011 17:52:53 +0000 modgrl 408306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are gorgeous!

The striped dress is definitely the way to go. The crumpled boob thing is so unacceptable for the expense of BCBG. Doesn't matter though as the white is so ethereal, flattering, and YOU!</p> <p>I'm sad the dress saga has drawn to a close as it was an exciting ride, but I know even better is in store. I can't wait to see the wedding pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-finale-stripes-one-shoulder-shapewear/page/2#post-408286 Sat, 20 Aug 2011 16:38:42 +0000 Jenava 408286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, the one shoulder dress is lively, but the shimmer in the stripe dress is just more bridal anyway, I think! I think you could try Velcro rollers on damp hair and blown dry...or hot rollers. Lots of hairspray in either case! Or some large pink foam rollers on wet hair and sleep in them. It looks like you've got thick hair so you'll need lots of rollers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-finale-stripes-one-shoulder-shapewear/page/2#post-408267 Sat, 20 Aug 2011 15:25:30 +0000 MsMary 408267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holy cow! Your radiant smile in the striped dress says it all! You are beautiful and will be the most gorgeous bride ever!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-finale-stripes-one-shoulder-shapewear/page/2#post-408265 Sat, 20 Aug 2011 15:24:37 +0000 morethanbeige 408265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, you look gorgeous! Congratulations and enjoy your day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-finale-stripes-one-shoulder-shapewear/page/2#post-408262 Sat, 20 Aug 2011 15:20:31 +0000 Mo 408262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad the dress hunt is over for you! Only one week to go - that's gotta be a relief to now have your dress sorted. As for your hair, maybe some curl activator on it before you curl it? Not sure what kind of curling iron you have . . . mine is ceramic and has several heat settings. I'd go for the hottest you can, to get max curl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-finale-stripes-one-shoulder-shapewear/page/2#post-408237 Sat, 20 Aug 2011 14:58:24 +0000 Laura 408237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You will be a stunning bride, Rae.

However I just had to say I'm so glad you chose the striped dress; it's utterly, fabulously you! You look absolutely stunning in it. Best wishes for your wedding day and for the future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-finale-stripes-one-shoulder-shapewear/page/2#post-408194 Sat, 20 Aug 2011 13:57:58 +0000 Irene 408194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First one is more like me, second one is certainly more like YOU. I think you finally found your wedding dress, Rae Now get ready for the big day and enjoy it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-finale-stripes-one-shoulder-shapewear/page/2#post-408187 Sat, 20 Aug 2011 13:41:05 +0000 Suz 408187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I missed this last night! OHHHHHHH....I LOVE you in the stripe dress. Angie's right, it is KILLER to the power of KILLER and you were so right to keep looking. It's perfect. </p> <p>The other dress is also gorgeous on you but if it doesn't feel comfortable, forget it. </p> <p>YAY! You are going to be a beautiful, FABulous bride! </p> <p>PS no advice on hair, I do not know about these things. Maybe start a new thread on that so it gets some notice? Sample title: Help me Curl My Hair for my WEDDING DAY. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-finale-stripes-one-shoulder-shapewear/page/2#post-408181 Sat, 20 Aug 2011 13:25:13 +0000 MNsara 408181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY!! You are totally beautiful in both dresses, but 20 minutes per boob and it still doesn't fix it is not what you want to think about on your wedding day.</p> <p>How perfect that you are incredibly gorgeous in the striped dress!! It is more stunning (I thinik) with its white on white stripes and the stripes with sheen are so striking -- perfect for a bride :-)</p> <p>Hooray for new shapewear - it should be at peak performance so you can relax and have no worries!!</p> <p>I'm so excited for you and this dress (*does happy dance*) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-finale-stripes-one-shoulder-shapewear/page/2#post-408172 Sat, 20 Aug 2011 13:00:06 +0000 Anonymous 408172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely practice your hair and makeup before the big day. You might just decide to keep it straight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-finale-stripes-one-shoulder-shapewear/page/2#post-408167 Sat, 20 Aug 2011 12:53:26 +0000 Queen Mum 408167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae- both dresses are gorgeous on you! And yes, the crinkled boobage is a deal breaker. I'm so excited for you.<br /> Re: hair... a set of hot rollers and a can of hairspray ;-0 Also, don't wash your hair the day of.. the dirtier the better for holding curl. Any way you can work in a trim this week to clean up the ends? That might help keep the curl as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-finale-stripes-one-shoulder-shapewear/page/2#post-408162 Sat, 20 Aug 2011 12:35:50 +0000 Jjsloane 408162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful in both dresses, So happy you've decided! For hair I'd recommend hot rollers and then finger comb. Alternately mist with hairspray then curling iron then pin or velcro curlers to set and another mist of hairspray. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-finale-stripes-one-shoulder-shapewear/page/2#post-408140 Sat, 20 Aug 2011 10:34:06 +0000 Anonymous 408140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Divine stripyness! I wish you a very special day. Don't you think you can go to a saloon or really just a hair person to do the hair thing for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-finale-stripes-one-shoulder-shapewear/page/2#post-408110 Sat, 20 Aug 2011 07:40:07 +0000 Deborah 408110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae that stripy dress is divine!
