I really love the dress that I bought, it makes me feel beautiful and sexy, and when I put it on I had a great feeling that it was 'the one'. I purchased it without a second thought.... but there were a few things that I felt it was missing, mainly a train. Also it is trumpet, when I always thought that I would be in something more a-line/ballgown.
As time went on I had a little dress regret, but knew that I had still chosen something fabulous.
Then CT203 started haunting me.
It has always been my DREAM dress, everything that I has always wanted. I knew that the dress had been discontinued a few years ago, quite a while before I was engaged. I scoped out the DB webside high and low, couldn't find it, so I pushed it out o my head.
Then I discovered that they have an 'outlet' section to their wedsite. Oh crud. I flipped through the sections as I was looking for an engagement party dress, and there is was staring at me CT203. So like a moron I clicked on it. Origionally this dress was $1050, marked down severly to $299.99, but only in a sz 2. I know that I could make it work if I put in a corsette, but that would be at least $200 alteration and really did not want to shell out the cash for it.
Then CT203 came up again... somewhere on this site I ended up on a used dress site.... saw that I could get it second hand for $200, plus whatever shipping would be. Crap.
I realized that if I did not try this dress on, or at least make some kind of a solid effort I would always wonder 'what if'. (Mind you I live in Canada and NO DBs in Canada have the dress, nor can they bring it in). I called the closest DB in the USA to me to ask where/if I could try it on in my size. I was thinking that it would be somewhere that I would not be willing to go, but at least I made the effort and my mind could be at peace. Wrong. The store I was calling has gotten that dress in a few days ago, white (the colour I wanted) and in one size 'too big' for me. I had one day off and it was a four hour drive each way. I explain my situation and the staff was more than happy to put it on hold for me. Next day I made the treck there and the dress was more than I could have ever imagined. What was I supposed to do? (In the back of my mind I was kind of hoping I wouldn't like it).
I now have TWO dresses in my closet. One that makes me feel like a beautiful princess, and has always been the dress I wanted, and a second dress that makes me feel like an uber sexy bomb shell.
Now I am just trying to figure out how to split my time between two dresses.
I'm so excited I just wanted to share!
