This is the best of all, from front and back, too. then the white with blush ruffle trim, and then only&nbsp;the capelet for me. Thus capelet is perfect color combo, perfect lenght and cut from front, but in the back view I find it a bit overhelming and&nbsp;too mature for your beautifull shape(as it hides your waist from back at all!).&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-options-for-the-goddess-dress---now-styled#post-921608 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 14:00:16 +0000 Transcona Shannon 921608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OH WOW Diana! I&nbsp;<b>LOVE</b> the capelet with this dress - so romantic, pretty and fashion forward all rolled into one. I don't even have a second choice because I can't get past my first choice - lol! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-options-for-the-goddess-dress---now-styled#post-921605 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 13:59:23 +0000 Anonymous 921605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I voted capelet before and doubly so now! I love how it echoes the lines of the dress.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-options-for-the-goddess-dress---now-styled#post-921601 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 13:55:50 +0000 texstyle 921601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have a preference for the Bellatrix lace-print jacket in #9 because it looks incredible and it seems not to compete with the empire waist detail of the dress. The capelet in #1 does compete a bit to my eye with the waistline detail.<br /><br />Love the shoes and clutch and you look beautiful in this dress! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-options-for-the-goddess-dress---now-styled#post-921270 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 01:16:59 +0000 Jaime 921270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Echoing Echo I also love the capelet and white jacket - the ruffle trim won me over!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-options-for-the-goddess-dress---now-styled#post-921268 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 01:15:14 +0000 Sona 921268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Got it.

What a treat to see your lovely smile (and your gorgeous outfits)&nbsp;throughout all of your preparations. You are one happy bride-to-be!

It looks the most like a deliberate part of the outfit rather than just a topper that you chose for coverage/warmth. The colors are pretty together and I like how the curved shape echoes the hemline of the dress.</p> <p>You look lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-options-for-the-goddess-dress---now-styled#post-921209 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 23:53:57 +0000 Diana 921209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hee, Sarah, it's because I used the 3-shot timer on my camera so I had to turn around <i>really fast</i> to get the photo from the back!&nbsp; The dress really does swirl wonderfully.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-options-for-the-goddess-dress---now-styled#post-921206 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 23:52:25 +0000 sarah 921206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ First, can I say how fun it is that every picture from the rear has the skirt swirling out in a wonderful way?!<br /><br />I vote capelet!<br />2nd choice is hand knit stole<br /><br />LOVE the clutch! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-options-for-the-goddess-dress---now-styled#post-921199 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 23:42:28 +0000 Diana 921199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sorry for the picture deluge.&nbsp; When I asked earlier today about potential toppers for this dress, these were some of the things I came up with after discussing with everyone here.&nbsp; <br /><br />1-2: the capelet.&nbsp; <br />3-4: cropped Nanette Lepore blazer.<br />5-6: white blazer with blush ruffle trim<br />7-8: cropped white dolman-sleeve bolero<br />9-10: Bellatrix lace-print jacket<br />11-12: Aqua round hem collarless jacket<br />13-14: navy blue handknit stole<br /><br />What do you think?&nbsp; Any favorites?<br /><br />Other notes:<br />--You can see my new gold clutch in some of these photos.&nbsp; Love it!&nbsp; The strap is removable.&nbsp; <br />--I am wearing the appropriate undergarments here, and all the weird underwear lines have disappeared.&nbsp; Hooray!&nbsp; (I ended up with not-very-sexy but very smooth high-waisted nude nylon underpants.)<br />--This dress is super fun to twirl in!<br />
