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.
