I went out just to begin my search for the gown. I went to davids just to get an idea of what might look good on me. I really did not like the quality of the gowns and they just seemed alittle girly for me. Stoped in the House of brides just on a whim and I found my gown after around 5 gowns. The girl who helped me, sorry can't rememeber her name, was great! She asked me questions about what I was looking for and where my wedding was going to be. She listened to me and then asked if she could put something on me that she knew would lokk great on me. I was not convinced seeing it on the hanger. But after I tried it on I knew it was the one. My bm tryed to convince me that I had not looked enough. But I knew this was was my gown... I am so happy that I just stoped in and that these ladies treated me so well. Nothing but love for this place. Can not wait to start on my bridesmaids.
