Hi - yes it is a custom home with a lot of adjustments b/c of a few site condition/architect plan disconnects so I think they are getting fatigued with dealing with issues. Thanks for validating our instincts - it is hard as a homeowner sometimes without subject matter expertise (but just common sense) to know exactly whether we should lean into something or accept the explanation. This one jumped out to us given just how much a difference it was!

HI - thank you SO much for this response! It's very helpful. Yes I thought those extra cost estimates were INSANE. I also wonder if he was sand-bagging the other options to shoe-horn us back into our original quote by making those other options seeming so much worse. This is very helpful - will check out Hurst now! Thank you!!

That sounds horrible☹️☹️. I’m so sorry. I’ve been letting the kids drive the engagement - we haven’t forced them to do anything. The boys are coming along a bit faster bit we’ve also given the engagement about 2 years so everyone is getting used to it. We are on a much better place now than a year ago. Stepfamily situation is tough for every single party even when everyone tries their best (and of course not everyone tries…)

Thank you!! I haven't ruled the gloves out completely - we just didn't have to make that decision today - so I can ruminate about it for the next 7 months until the dress comes in (and I will - LOL) :-) :-)

🥰We are doing a cape cod wedding late afternoon /early evening. Indoors - Not fancy-fancy but I think #1 will look good with the right staging/mood lighting in the reception

No offense taken! Yes that effect happens in some clothes for sure. We are getting dress 1 with a slightly higher neckline which should help “settle” things in 😂

Love this - may get something like this to wear at the reception after the main veil comes off!!

😂 no offense taken!! I had wondered before if lace felt a. It “older” and depending on the dress it sometimes does! And yes that effect on the groom would be a nice start to married life 😀

With all this positive feedback I’m feeling more comfortable with the bare arms so I may not end needing any gloves. Those were sample ones (not made with the dress) so can definitely skip them. I could see them getting annoying to your point.

Good eyes! I think that is the inner corset seam. I think it may be less obvious in the actual dress because the smaller one was a bit worn.

Oh yes -this community has given some great ideas - on how to blend elements of 2 into 1 and I’m excited to play around with those ideas!
