First time dress shopping

I went dress shopping today for the first time.  It was a spur of the moment idea after I got off work.  I went by David's and it was slow enough I could get an immediate appointment.

I'm a little overweight and didn't think I'd like a sheath, but even though I have a belly, the sheath gave me hips and a waist.  I liked a chiffon empire waist, one with straps, and a high-low by Oleg Cassini. 

I was treated well and the consultant listened to what I liked/didn't like and brought dresses that I liked for the most part.  At this time I have it narrowed down to three.  My daughters and I are going to Carolina Briday World Next month to look at different dresses, and between them and two other friends, I'll make a choice. 

I will order my dress (or buy off the rack) in January so I can have time for alterations.

  • Hays2be - Which David's did you go to in North Carolina?  I live in North Carolina too and went to the David's in Pineville.  My consultant was Samantha and she was the best.  She went above and beyond for me, and she made my dress shopping so easy.  I will always recommend people that I know to go there because it was a great dress shopping experience.
    Did you find your dress or will you be looking for a different style when you go back?
    Goodluck and happy dress hunting!!!!  Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!!!!

  • Sounds like you had fun-- that's the most important in this process
