So, in light of the sale at David's Bridal, we went over there today, I had found somethings that I liked online, and wanted to try. And I wanted to see colors in real life rather than on a computer. Well, it was a mad house, and the amount of choices they had, well that was just down right sad. They only had 2 of the dresses I was looking for but I found 2 more that I wanted to try. Well, none of them worked, so we left.
We stopped at another bridal store that I'd passed before, nothing there that wasn't over $300, though there was one dress, wow it was beautiful, and if I was getting married and not doing a vow renewal I would have plunked down my ccard so fast.
Then we stopped at one last shop, I think it's more geared to proms and pageants (omg the bling) but they had a plus size section so we took a peek. I pulled one dress that I though was going to be a joke, "Wow, look at this...wait LOOK at this" moment. Tried it on, and yep - we have a winner! And it was on sale for $50! Org $395! I can tell it has been tried on a lot (one of the eye hooks was loose), but nothing a needle and thread couldn't handle (I'm a seamstress so no biggie).
Not at all what my vision was, I was thinking champagne colored satin or something, but this is perfect and H loves it!
