it's gorgeous.

Thanks. I've noticed your icon before and loved it!

Wow, that's a gorgeous gown! I wish my boobs were small enough to pull off that gown!

I was thinking the same thing... no way would that dress support me, but it's totally AMAZING! I love the back, it's my favorite too.

The dress has a built in bra in front, but you're right, it has little support.

Heh, I bemoan my 'smallness' sometimes but I guess it works in my favour in this case.

hotness! that's a great dress!

My best friend, who is my bridesmaid, said the same thing :) An earlier design is more like this, backless:

But we were concerned about it being an Anglican church wedding so it got changed to a higher back and my hair and veil should provide a bit of cover too.

how cute are you?! SOOOOOOO cute! that dress is goregous. Ive never seen someone pull off a high necked dress like that as well as you do! whens you're date? any more pics?

Actually I've hardly seen any high-necked wedding dress at all in the magazines and catalogues. They are quite popular in Singapore though, must be the madarin collar influence/inspiration. I wasn't convinced that I could pull off a halter type dress until I tried one on. I guess the thing to do is really just try different styles even if you didn't think you would like it or look good in it.

The dates are 26th May (UK) and 2nd June (Singapore). More pics on the way for flowers, invitations etc. (which were only just finished).
