Last year I came down with severe adult acne on my back (at the age of 27). I have finally gotten under control (thanks to my derm!), but have to wait a few years for the scars to fade a bit before I will feel confident baring my shoulders again. (It makes bathing suit season down right depresing). </p> <p>My point being that it really is hard to find stylish dresses that cover these areas, but I think you have found some amazing options here. Can't wait to see you try that one on!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-dress-help#post-119021 Thu, 21 Jan 2010 02:00:58 +0000 Angie 119021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #2. I'd order it to try it on. J. Crew make fab wedding dresses - I saw quite a few of them last year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-dress-help#post-118996 Thu, 21 Jan 2010 01:39:11 +0000 garmenta 118996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of the posters at <a href="http://www.academichic.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.academichic.com</a>, who was on a graduate student budget, wrote about her efforts to find an affordable, non-traditional wedding dress, and even though the dresses she posted may be a season or two old, her advice may help you too:<br /> <a href="http://www.academichic.com/2009/08/13/s-gets-married-alternate-ways-to-finding-a-wedding-dress/" rel="nofollow">http://www.academichic.com/200.....ing-dress/</a></p> <p>How exciting for you, and I hope you find the perfect dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-dress-help#post-118990 Thu, 21 Jan 2010 01:36:07 +0000 Steph 118990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the second J. Crew one as well. I also love the idea of a knee-length wedding dress. J. Crew no longer makes this style, but you can find it on ebay in most sizes. I always thought it was adorable: <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/New-J-crew-Grace-Ivory-Silk-cocktail-Wedding-dress-4_W0QQitemZ310194712861QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_CSA_WC_Dresses?hash=item48390bb11d" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/New-J-crew.....48390bb11d</a> (Also, I think it might work well for a smaller bust because I am big-busted and when I purchased it there wasn't enough space in the chest for me.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-dress-help#post-118961 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 22:46:35 +0000 Queen Mum 118961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooh, i really like the second one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-dress-help#post-118956 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 22:23:01 +0000 cyan45 118956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks roseandjoan! they look beautiful. i am such a sour grape though, and assume anything that doesn't have a turtleneck will look awful on me time to do some work this weekend!</p> <p>chewy, indeed! i checked them out last nite, and liked:</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/dresses/weddingsparties/PRDOVR~19849/99101860949/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~~~20+17+4294967134~90~~~~~~~/19849.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Brows...../19849.jsp</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/dresses/forthebride/PRDOVR~11834/11834.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Brows...../11834.jsp</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/dresses/forthebride/PRDOVR~19848/19848.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Brows...../19848.jsp</a></p> <p>i really need a very high neckline </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-dress-help#post-118949 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 22:04:34 +0000 chewyspaghetti 118949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>J Crew has some beautiful reasonably priced wedding dresses, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-dress-help#post-118940 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:39:44 +0000 RoseandJoan 118940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh and this is cute<br /> <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Dresses-Short-Cooktail-Prom-Ball-Evening-Gown-Wedding_W0QQitemZ370272699824QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_CSA_WC_Dresses?hash=item5635f905b0" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/Dresses-Sh.....5635f905b0</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-dress-help#post-118938 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:34:09 +0000 RoseandJoan 118938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you taken a look at ebay, there are quite a few 'tags on' wedding dresses for sale.
