Hi, all, just found my dress!!!!!!!!!!
Andrea's Bridal, on Congress St., which I actually found on recommendation from y'all, was FABULOUS! I had an appointment with Julia, the owner, and she was absolutely amazing. She listened to everything I had been thinking of and all my concerns, gave fantastic advice, and was so helpful, so encouraging! She pulled great dresses that fit the description of what I was looking for, and she recommended some that I wouldn't have thought of but that were great and super flattering! This was the first time in my life I have ever actually had fun shopping for a dress of any kind, for any occasion.
Also, the price was right.
I hope everyone has a dress shopping experience this wonderful - I highly, highly recommend Andrea's!
