Oh that dress would look great on you. Tanning bed if you want to be dark. As soon as I get back from my FL trip I'm hitting one. Make sure you take your camera with u when u got try it on. Good luck...

I think the dress is just gorgeous, and I love the touch of color in the bodice and waist ribbon.
I don't know your physical type, but unless you were stick think *or* very heavy, it should work nicely. If you tend to carry your weight in your gut (they call it "apple-shaped') then the ribbon detailing might emphasize the wrong attribute.
Send pictures after you try it on. What color bridesmaids dresses are you considering? Something that will work with the dress accent color?

I think that dress is very pretty. I don't know about the bow...I love the accent color, but I think it might look nice with the bow in the back. Something about having it in the front takes away from the streamlined simplicity of it...for me anyway. Regardless, the dress is still gorgeous!

That is beautiful!
I do agree about that bow though. I think it would be better in the back, if that is an option.

I'm pretty much in between...I wear a size 12 bottom, I'm 36D on top and I think I'm fairly proportional...chesty and hippy, thick in the middle but not bulgy.
Haven't had a chance to get there yet...work stuff came up.
Thinking a chocolate or espresso brown for bm dresses. I just found these from Alfred Angelo and I like them a lot...I think all my girls would be comfortable in them, too.

I think both gown and BM dress look pretty.

They're both gorgeous!  The only thing I would say is that *IMO* I think the bow would look better to one side, I think you automatically stare at her belly (even tho she doesn't have one!) when it is in the middle, it's like wearing a big belt buckle, you're better off wearing in closer to one of your hips or everyone stares at your belly! I think the rest of it is stunning though! Just beautiful

I agree with the other girls about possibly moving the bow, but other than that, the dress is absolutely beautiful! I hope it's in your price range.

I would ditch the bow if possible, but otherwise, it's a really pretty dress.
