So I went shopping for dresses yesterday. I tried on probably 8 or 9 dresses. Some were terrible. Just generally ugly or not my taste (I dont like lace and beading) but for the most part they were all pretty. My body is shaped so that everything looks good on me. I liked all of the styles too.

I'm not looking for a wow moment. My dad offered to have a dress made for me but the cost of that is pretty expensive. I'm probably going to just pick something pretty and reasonably priced.

I don't know what my next step is. I now know I want strapless. That is the only conclusion I made yestrdsay. Looking at pictures of myself in the dresses I really liked this pink Vera but I don't remember feeling particularly impressed by it in person. I think I just like that it's different. At least my bridesmaids were successful yesterday. They picked dresses.

    Soooo not feeling sorry for you. I'm also not absolutely in love with my dress. It's pretty and I like it. And I especially like that it cost only $200.

    Yeah, sorry. That sounds bratty. I work my ass off for my body but I really didnt mean it that way. I just mean that I didnt rule out the shape of any dress.

    I went to DB and didn't even see any dresses under $400.
  • can you go someplace else and look for dresses maybe you are not finding your dream dress or a dress at db is because the styles are not what you are looking for


    some designers that have resonably priced gowns starting at about 500 are

    morilee
    jasmine
    bonny
    venus
    allure

    i went to a few places before i found the one i did not want to just settle for the first dress i saw

    i wonder if there is a bridal consigment near you they often have sample gowns never worn for a fraction of the price check out bridepower.com aka the hit show i found the gown they are located in ma but they have a online store you might find something you like there and you can order it from them off the rack

  • Ugh. Didn't post. NP @Senecaf, just thought it was funny. I got my dress at shopruche.com, and there are several $200 options. I also used a coupon code. BUT I purchased it sight unseen on final sale. I took a risk, but for $200 I thought it was worth it.
  • Good call @blergbot They have some very pretty dresses and great prices.
