when you sign up, it's typically a package. mine was 24 poses in 10 pages. which means you can select 24 pics. but the PG will take hundreds of them. for you to choose. and if you want more than the 24 for the album, you have to pay. either by adding pages (to put the extra pics in), or develop them separately as plain pics (which was what i did).
whichever way, cos you paid for the pics above the original allocation, all chosen will be given to you in soft copy.
as for my multiply account, i didn't lock the pics. about 15 of them i scan from SGBridal's draft pics. so you can just take a look.
as for gowns, go read bridal mags. look at the style you like. take them to SGBridal, show them. see if they have somethin of those kind. then they'd drag out whatever fit close to those style you mention. don't fret about sizing, cos they'd alter it proper.
and, so long as you're patient, you can go ahead and chose what you want at your pace. my wife took about 2-3 hrs, and tried out about 30 gowns (just for the studio shoot). i kinda made her put up with the hassle (and help in the changin instead of lettin jenny do it), so we'd be able to pick stuff which we're happy with.
important is you happy in them gowns. cos it's only once you'd get to wear, and capture in pics.
hope it helps.
