So, I think I have found my dress, but I just don't know yet. In January, I wanted to get ideas for dresses, so I went with my mom to try some on. The very first shop I went to I fell in love with a dress, and how I felt in it. BUT, it was way over my budget! It was close to $2000+. It was satin with lace and glitter!! It was an A-line dress.So broken hearted I left the shop, but it was my own fault because I didn't tell the lady a budget, but she never asked either! From there, I went to another shop, and hated everything! Later on, I ended up at David Bridal's in CT. I tried on a million dresses, and when I tried on this one mermaid dress, I "thought" I liked it. So the consultant put a veil on me and I started crying!! I thought it was amazing of how I looked. It was gorgeous to me, and in my budget!It was tight, and fitted, but I love the way it sparkles! I told them I wanted to think about it though... I have a tendency of "jumping in feet first!" When my mom and I were in the car, almost leaving the parking lot, she told me I looked so elegant, and we decided to turn around, and purchase the dress! They told me it would be in May 15th.... two weeks later it was in. When I went back, I tried it on, and hated it! I hated the color, the way I looked, and the way the dress looked on me! So they told me they would order it in ivory. I said ok... but then 2 days later I called and asked if I could cancel the whole thing! I thought maybe I looked too soon... maybe I should wait... Anyway, they called this week, and told me that my dress was in, again! Confused, I told the woman my story, and she apologized and said I was right, but I need to come in to sign paperwork. So, my mom and I drive out there again, to only hear, "All sales are Final, and there is no way I could return the dress, I would need to exchange it." So then I tried on a million more dresses, and didn't really like any of them. I tried on "my" dress, and fell in love again. Could this really be the dress? I really just don't know. I had my mom take pictures of me in it, and when I look at the pictures, I nit-pick, and think I look fat.... I see huge hips in the mermaid dress... I see awful things. BUT when I am IN the dress, I feel amazing. I don't know what to think. I am completely stressing about the dress. Is this normal? Do other brides experience this? Also, when I went there the first time, my MOH was with me, and she hated the dress! (When it 1st came in.) So please give me advice!!!!!! Sorry so long, but I felt like I need to really vent and explain my whole story!! Thanks girls!
