I Haz Dress!

After my first dress mishap, I spent a whirlwind 24 hours in various bridal shoppes (the extra "pe" makes them extra fancy!) on Friday and Saturday.  I hit the jackpot at Miracle Wedding Village (a name I still can't get over) in Dearborn Heights.

Not only did these ladies not give me the stinkeye when I told them I needed a dress, needed it cheap, and needed it for my wedding two months from now, they actually started calling around to other stores before I even arrived to see what they had available on the rack. 

So, without further ado...here's the dress.  I don't know if it comes across in the pics, but on me it was really reminiscent of old-style Hollywood glamour.  It's not at all what I expected to like, and certainly not to buy.  But when I put it on, everyone in the room gasped, including me - and that's probably what we're looking for, right?  :)



Incredibly blurry shot just to give you an idea.  They're taking it in 3 sizes for me, so I can't wait to see it after a fitting or two.



Front (duh)



Back (duh again).

SQUEEE!

    Thanks, everybody!  I'm so glad things worked out okay.  Plus, I was told by a coworker that I've definitely earned a bridezilla moment due to the first dress situation.  I'm not entirely sure that I agree with her, since I took a gamble and it didn't work out - in my book, that falls under "my fault."  However, I'm gonna roll with it and save that bridezilla moment up for when I really want to use it...j/k.  ;)

    p.s. - Thumper - I LOVE your centerpieces!  How gorgeous!

    But the fact that you realize it was your fault and not the bridal salons means you could NEVER be a bridezilla, you are too rational.

    I don't think you were being zilla-ish by wanting a dress you liked. It's so cool how you found this one and love it!

    And ditto to the props for Thumper's centerpieces ... that pic is going in my inspiration folder :)
