Washington-Seattle

I did something bad. (now with PIP)

I'm in New York for the weekend meeting with my maid of honor (sister) and mom. We all flew in from different parts of the country to see each other.

I didn't mean to. I really really didn't intend to. It was meant to be a scouting mission.

But I got my wedding dress at a trunk show at Kleinfeld's this past weekend. We met the Say Yes to the Dress people (but weren't on the show, thank goodness) and my sister was awestruck, which was kind of funny.

Edit to add PIP

    Yah!!!!! Did you get a great deal?! Those dresses seem like even for a trunk show they are way pricey. But then again I dont know your budget....

    That's not something "bad" unless you totally blew your budget, but even that's not terrible if you can afford it :)

    Haha. I ddin't meant to tease. All sneaky pictures are on my sister's phone and the one photo I found online, I really hate the model (she looks kinda freaky).

    Just got back home, so tomorrow I'll try to post a picture.

    It's a Peter Langner Tebas, in case anyone wants to go look up the picture and has one of those assymetric crumb collars and a sort of corset waist. The veil has a 5 stitch trim and is pretty long. My mom is fairly conservative and the designer listened to her about covering my shoulders during the ceremony with a little detachable shoulder wrap that buttons beneath the dress, and even that sounds like it'd be pretty nice.

    I love it, even if it's not what I thought I wanted, cause it makes me look skinnier and kind of elegant, two words I'd never really attribute to me. Yay!

    And it's kind of bad! Cause it doesn't fit into my idea of what I wanted or thought would fit me and we totally did not mean to buy.

    I am kind of sad that I won't get to see it or try it on until 8-10 weeks before the wedding next year. But I guess it's easier this way. Less to have to try and hide from the FI. XD

    I think it's lovely!!! I'm not usually a fan of the "crumb catcher" but that one is unique, and since it's more simple with just one layer and is asymmetrical, I rather like it!

    There's nothing bad about the dress! It was just so not what I expected to be wearing.

    Like, if I had seen this dress online or in a magazine, I probably wouldn't have given it much attention cause it doesn't really feel me, and yet my other bridesmaid after seeing a picture said it's very classic, but modern and edgy which left me going o.O Since I don't picture myself as modern or edgy.

    Thanks for all the congrats. ^^ I'm pretty excited. I feel so narcissistic cause I can't stop staring at me in the dress.

    @StarryEyez19: I hope you have fun. I was really dubious going in, cause I've seen the show and had to stop. My sister recommended I watch it, and I watched it until I started having nightmares. The show seriously made me so tense about the whole wedding dress thing. I was doubtful that they were really /that/ good, but the woman we worked with, Rita, knew instantly what to put me in and told me all my choices, while pretty, weren't me and would make me look old. XD Good luck with your visit! ^^

    The dress looks absolutely beautiful on you!  I also love the long veil.  It sounds like you had a great Bridal experience at Kleinfelds.
