Whoops... Forgot to include these in the previous post.

Not sure if we can include this as a candidate for neckline peg. Might be a bit too deep and the diagonal lines a bit too obvious for the delicate lace it'll be paired with. Hmmm...

If we're going with the top you drew, this is an example of how I would prefer it not to look. The chest area seems too large (droopy) in the photo, not sure why.

Picture #1 seems to have a decent neckline (plus it has a frilly lace bottom, more over-the-top with the lace -- a tad too much for my taste -- than what we have, which is just right for me :D). The waist sits a bit too low lang. What do you think?

Just saw how this actress' dress top twists and knots. It seems pretty although a bit too low (she has a full chest to support it anyhoo, good for her).

I guess that's all I have to add for now. :)

Thanks again!

"Make it work!"

Hello, deeesigner (as Tim Gunn says it, just sans the s)! :D

Welcome to my mishmashed blog just for wedding purposes. I'm a lazy blogger and journal-keeper. Heehee...

Posting in the blog now since it's easier to arrange my thoughts along with the pix (compared to sending an email). Please forgive the very bullet-point way I present things.

ZEH PRETTY PEGS

Will have to find something smaller for my smaller frame (and head). But the hue is nice.

Not sure if this is how I want to fix my hair. Will it go well with the dress?

A bit longer veil hopefully. Having it end above the mouth seems bothersome. And maybe will just stick to 1 flower. Having 3 seems a bit over the top. :)

We're totally doing away with this peg already? Just including it in case you have an epiphany about it (or work with the lace we have to add it on top -- just thinking out loud, although I've no clear idea on how that will go). :D

And the main one. I wonder if we should follow the "belt" here. Oh confuzzling!

Anyhoo, just wanted to send you some lovely photos from the internet also as points for clarification...

FABRIC

Are you going to use this sort of fabric for the main dress, beneath the lace? Or just stick to the main peg above?

NECKLINE

Here's an assortment of necklines I found on various dresses:

I guess this one has a good not-so-sweetheartish curve (and not too deep in the middle either). Not sure if it has that twisty thing you were talking about. What do you think?

This one has more of a plunge in the middle (compared to the pic on top, although it still seems pretty decent). I'm thinking, out of all the photos here, this has the right silhouette for the top that you're after for me. Tama ba? Parang "just right" yung pagkaka-cut between the top and bottom. Not as wide for the skirt lang ata. What do you think?

Too sweetheart-y? It does seem to have those textured lines on the chest area though...

The top seems a bit too horizontal. Not sure if it'd be a good match for me (and my insecure concerns, hahaha). Just included it in the mix in case you have comments about it.

BELT STYLE

I guess the color of the belt will have to be determined by whatever the fiance's tie's color will be. We ought to be able to settle it by next month. Anyhoo, I think that detail can follow after settling other dress parts first. :D

Not sure what size/width belt you had in mind, so I'm posting some pix below:

Different dress style, so it might not really be a good peg. I guess this is a mid-size belt. The peach hue of the accent is nice though.

Really thin belt.

Again, this photo. Not sure where the belt starts and ends (in terms of height), but I'm pretty sure it's there.

I guess this is also medium-sized. Not sure if sparkly is a good thing for our final product.

This is more traditional-looking I guess. Satin-y and such.

Another thin belt.

What would you reco? Too bad the dresses don't have shots of how they look from the back. I'm just certain I don't want a ribbon or bow design anywhere near me. :P

Excited for the next meet-up. Now, I'm feeling more bride-y than in past months. Hahaha!

Take care!
