The day has come! You ready for this??? I chose…
CAUTION: WHITE DRESSES AHEAD.
Mr. Latte, if you cheated and peeked before, that’s OK, I forgive you. But now I’m serious. Do not move ahead.
JILLIAN!!!
I just love that she is a mixture of tradition, modern and romance… all rolled into 1 strapless silk taffeta ruffle-y dream of a dress!
(Jillian from the front)

I was so happy and relieved to have finally made this decision that I forgot to take a picture of myself in the dress. Darn. But I have something better for you… wanna see her swish??? Check out Melissa Sweet’s website for a video of her swishing-action.
If you remember from Part 3 of this saga, I was concerned with the fact that Jillian was just SO mermaid. So, we decided to remedy the situation by moving the seam up 2 inches. This gave her more of a fit-and-flare silhouette…muuuch better for my 5’2″ frame.
(moving seams up…good choice)
So here ends the saga of the 2 1/2 dress bride. THE END.
Now… time to find the perfect shoes!!! 
Has anyone else’s dress search turn into a SAGA?
Great choice! Where you able to get your $ back from Kleinfelds?
Beautiful!
and Holla at more 5′2″ brides 
You, Me and Miss D’Orsay.
Oh I love this dress and can’t wait to see it you! Did Kleinfelds allow you to put your previous deposit towards Jillian? I’m excited to see the shoes saga!
Love the dress! What are you doing with the first one you bought at the sale?
Love the dress! It was the dress that I was secretly hoping you’d pick. Can’t wait to see you in it!!

Awesome! For those of you looking for shoes too, I got Kate Spade Style Hazel in silver from Zappos… only $165!!!
The dress is stunning; I love love love the dramatic back. And I can’t wait to see you in it!
The back is so so awesome. I think your idea is a great one, and I can’t wait to see how it looks on you.
omg, i’m in love… with your dress! I SO could NOT pull that off tho, bleh. But I can’t wait to see your hotness in it!!!
Gorgeous and so different! Can’t wait to see it on you.
@markyK: I ended up getting it at Kleinfeld’s…and they were filming an episode of Say Yes to the Dress that day. I tried to get myself on camera…look closely for a girl in the background walking back and forth a couple of times. ;)@Lillindy: Yes, they let me use my deposit towards Jillian and honored the same great deal I got before!
@chocochip: Oh no…those KS sandals are super cute. This is NOT good for me…
@Mrs. Emerald: I can’t pull it off either. Hopefully after a couple of hard-core months, I’ll be able to. Blah.
Yeah! I can’t wait to see the dress on you, I’m sure you look gorgeous!
