I have recently purchased the sincerity dress style 3089 was told that there was only 2 left size 12 and 10. I purchased the size 12 for my wedding in 2009. It was shipped to a bridal store in Manhattan if anyone is interested let me know there is only one left from what they told me because it is a discontinued dress made in the year of 2006.
MN, thank you SOOOO much! I couldn’t tell you how grateful I am for your help.
check out http://www.redhotbrides.com
there are red dresses listed by designer.
Just found it for you: Bonny’s Collections
Essence

Strapless ball gown with a softly beaded neckline. The embroidered and beaded pattern flow through the fitted bodice. The skirt is full with asymmetrical layers pulled and gathered revealing a scalloped embroidered lace trim that flows across the front and along the bustling back of the semi-cathedral train.
Fabric:
Iridescent Satin Organza and Tulle

I found this beautiful dress during a search. Now the problem is, the person who is selling it, isn’t the original designer… I know this for sure because he has some Maggie Sottero dress pictures on his site that he’s claiming to be responsible for making/:D So… I was wondering if any of you have any idea who the designer of this dress is, and where I can find it. I think this is THE dress…but I am a cautious person (when it comes to buying without trying), so I’d have to try it on to make sure. Please let me know.
hegavemehiswings@hotmail.com
Thank you!!!
P.S. Wedding isn’t until fall of 2010, so not in a huge rush, just want to be sure it isn’t a designer that discontinues their dresses.
Hi Linda who makes that dress? I found one kinda like it but it has flowers its by maggie sottero.
I guess a lot of people will have been asking all over the place about this one but does anybody know of anyone with a Justin Alexander 8115 in Red for sale? Size 6-8 (NZ size – I think its size 0-2 US?)
Cheers for any help!
I’m looking for a dress that is similar to this. Does anyone know where I can look?
Oh, PS, I’ll happily arrange the transaction via ebay if people want paypal protection etc
I am (also!) looking for Sincerity 3089 in red in a UK size 12/14/16 (US 8/10/12). Does anyone have it and want to sell it? I’ll pay a reasonable price plus postage from anywhere. Please email sarahnorman21@yahoo.co.uk
Dawn – Thanks for sharing our site. I just wanted to mention that any of our pieces can be dyed to match your gorgeous red gowns! Please, feel free to browse all of our design ideas (with or without veils) and let me know if we can be of help. Best wishes to all of you.
Misty-
Thank you so much, I really love the Nola dress. I think that is going to be the one! Now I just have to find a store that is semi close to me and go try it on.
Thanks again
I have a Brand New Justin Alexander Wedding Gown in RED, Style 3089, Sincerity, US Size 4. It was Purchased in DEC 2006 & only worn for fitting with my final payment. Although I am located in Sydney-Australia, I am willing to ship overseas at my expense registered. My advertised price was $1200AUS including hoop. Purchased in Sydney for $2100AUS. I must sell the gown & open to offers. Please reply to my email if genuinly interested : msmudhopper@southernphone.com.au) Thanku
Blake, Thanks for the help. I would never have thought of chocloate brown instead of black!:P
Sarah-
The one on the left looks alot like Capri by Maggie Sottero and the one on the right is Nola by Maggie Sottero. You can see the first one at http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?keywordText=fuschia&keywordType=any&page=0&pageSize=8&style=J926 and “Nola” at http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?keywordText=scarlet&keywordType=any&page=0&pageSize=8&style=J190 , I have asked about these same dresses at bridal stores here and although they are still available they are from pervious seasons. Hope that helps!:D
Mistty, take a look at some fall inspiration boards including red, like this one:
http://www.stylemepretty.com/2008/03/reader-inspir-4.html
Go heavy on the chocolate brown and related colors: latte, cream. Bring in copper like the touch of bronzy ribbon in this board. Bring in touches of coral, too, like the mini-callas and a bit of pale green to liven things up. You’ll have a rich palette that is not even remotely goth because it’s so warm and earthly. Check out those birch-bark candles too — a few obvious rustic touches like those also de-goth a wedding. A little faux woodgrain or birch bark would be great here.
HTH!
I am looking for a dark red, wine color, burgendy or crimson wedding gown. I have not had any luck finding dresses that are not strapless. There is two strapless gowns that I love on ebay, but I really need the straps for some extra support. The above pic is of them. Anyone have any suggestions? Anyone know where I could find one of these gowns? I am sure I could find a seamstress that could figure something out. I just dont want to buy from anyone overseas.
Thanks for all your help
Hello All,
I am getting married in fall of 2009 and of course I have a fall theme! I am wearing the red dress above, however, the problem I am having is that I cannot figure out colors for the bridesmaids that would compliment my dress, not make my wedding look gothic, and would still be acceptable with a fall theme. I really like warmer fall colors. I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or advice on deciding a color scheme to go with my beautiful red dress. Thank you so much! By the way the dress is Lana by Maggie Sottero.
Shelly
I’m all the way in Canada, but fiorenza is my dream dress too. I haven’t ordered it, as the wedding is still over a year away, but I’ll have to do it soon, as I’ve heard they sometimes discontinue gowns.
I’m stressed about the cost though, seeing as the US dollar is so close to Canadian dollar these days… the cheapest I can find the dress is $899 in Canada, but in the states it’s $679.
Now if I only I could find more red dresses that aren’t strapless! Why is that the craze? I’d like a halter top with a tulle/organza ballgown bottom. So tough in central PA to go looking anyway
Amber, Tricia, & Nicole,
If it’s not too late, i found the dress you were looking for. They sell it at bestbridalprices.com. It says it is style #1264. I hope this helps.
Donna,
The designer for the dress you’re looking for is Justin Alexander. Sincerity is the name of one of his collections.
I am posting Shelly’s maggie sottero, “Fiorenza,” it is unbelievably gorgeous. WOW.
Which reminds me, Sayde, if you’re wanting a traditional veil, look how they staged it in this photo, very clever how they coordinated the red dress with the white veil using that red satin headband/fascinator/flower (hard to tell).
Sayde, personally I would pick a red fascinator or perhaps an organza or silk rose, I think the drama suits these dresses perfectly. Second choice, maybe a red birdcage veil? Here are a few from Etsy & a company called Breeziway just to get the juices going … 1) from Breeziway 2) trulyfallen, 3) by annabronwyn
That’s a great question btw, what is everyone else doing for a headpiece or veil?
Check this one out, ladies! I love it!

Marina,

Hello there ladies (and maybe gents?) I was wondering if anyone could suggest what type of head piece one would wear with a red dress. I have decided that yes my dress must be red but i really wanted a veil to. Any ideas?????? Thanks sooooo much

Purchased in DEC 2006….regards Skye
Hi Donna, I wore that dress to my wedding recently. Please see attached photo. Loved wearing it! I bought it at Pronuptia.
