June 2012 Weddings

Dress shopping experience

Today was an interesting experience dress shopping to say the least.  I went with my mom, FMIL, and a BM.  The store was smaller than I expected (and was told) but I tried on basically every dress they had that I would fit in (no more than 20).  I found a few that I liked but I didn't buy one yet.  So far the leading contender is this dress (clicky).

And to think I originally was thinking lace...

  • I like that dress! Super pretty!

  • I was originally thinking lace myself, but found myself liking silk/satin dresses, too.  I think I wrote a thread about it...basically, only 1 dress matched the style/fabric that I originally thought I wanted.

    BTW, what in the world are they making that poor model do on that website?  There's a lace cap on her head and she was making "guns" in one of the pictures.  The dress is beautiful, but they're doing some funny things with it!!!

    LOL.  I agree!  The dress looks a lot better in person but when I found the site to post it this is what they had and it made me laugh for a bit.

    OMG, I know, so funny!  FI is sitting with me on the couch and he was like "What?!"  I told him to look past the lace bathing cap!  The dress is gorgeous though- love the bodice and the lace back!!!  Let us know when you find "the one!"

  • 20 is a lot of dresses to try on at one place!  I've tried on about 20 altogether between 4 different places.

    I love the lace back too!  Very pretty.  Keep us posted on your decision Smile
  • I really like it, so if it is "the one" it's a great choice - and anything tops it for you, it must be incredible!  Good luck continuing your search!
