The Bride's Gown

I've been going back and forth between more traditional white bridal gowns and evening dresses more suited to more mature women (those in the mother-of-the-bride section at most bridal wear sites), but then I realized: Since I don't have to buy off the rack and can have a "virtual seamstress" make any alterations I want, I can mix and match :-).

So, take the skirt from Mon Cheri Style 112206, cut it down so there's no train (i.e. make it a simple floor-length gown), make the bodice more like Bonny's 1814, then tint the whole thing light/powder blue.

Color:
Bearing in mind that different monitors will show these differently, I'd want a very pale blue:

Alice - Azure (web) - Powder - Light - Light Sky


(Light sky is probably getting darker than I want to go, but I include it for the shade.)

An image search led to these, which are more or less what I had in mind:
