This is a few weeks delayed - I've been crazy busy - but....
I BOUGHT MY DRESS!!
It was the second place I went to, and the 9th dress I tried on! I was extremely worried about the whole process, and the first place was feeding right into all of my worries. Nothing was looking too great, and it just wasn't the experience I thought dress shopping would be like ( a la Say Yes to the Dress).
But then we went to Brides by Demetrios and it was exactly what I was hoping for! The lady picked out all the dresses she thought fit my description and helped me put them on. Then I walked out to where my mom and two best friends were sitting and stood on a pedestal.
When I tried on "the dress" every one cried - even me! I can't wait for it to come in so I can put it on again!!
Here's a link - I will add a belt to the dress though and it will be a corset back:
