I put on a wedding dress today ...

I put on a ton of wedding dresses today, actually. It was my first time, and the process was - kind of a lot. It was a long afternoon and I came out of it a little overwhelmed, but overall it was a good start. I now know what I like and what I don't (in real-life, not just in magazines or Pinterest), so appointments will definitely be streamlined in the future.

Also? I've had a crush on a particular dress for MONTHS. And I tried it on. And I love it. And I want it.

The sample they had was 3 sizes too big, so it's clamped within an inch of its life, but there's still some excess fabric adding a bit of bulk; in my size, the bust will be higher and a little more structured/supportive, the waist can be pulled in another inch or so, and the bottom will also have a lot more structure (I'm too short for it, so it's kind of baggy and pooling towards the bottom.

Any thoughts? Thanks, ladies!

    Even with the poor fit, it's gorgeous on you. Time to try on a bunch of similar things and make sure it's the one.

    This is exactly where I'm at. BFF and I are going to two more appointments this coming Monday, justtt so I can reassure myself that I've seen enough others to know it's the one.

    Thank you all for your kind words! I've gained significant weight in the past year or so, and trying dresses on this "new body" was kind of emotionally daunting. Thank you for helping me feel beautiful!

    wow. Love the dress! Really flatters your figure, you look great!

    Definitely try on a couple more in that style and if you keep comparing them to that one, then you know youve got a winner! (and if it looks that good when its that big on you, imagine how it will look in your size!)
