Dress Shopping Success - PIP

I posted last week about my plans to go dress shopping over the weekend, so I thought I would post an update. I went to Azteca and Suzanne's Bridal, I was okay with the service at Azteca, not overly impressed but not like I would refuse to shop there either, and much more impressed by the service at Suzanne's.  Ulimately I found a dress I loved at Azteca, but ordered it through Suzanne's as she was able to almost match the price Azteca had for their trunk show, and I felt more comfortable with them.  It is by Maggie Sottero, and it is supposed to ship 7/19, which should be about perfect timing for my October wedding.  I am so excited. I can't believe I picked one so quickly, but I didn't think I would find anything I liked better and didn't want to risk putting off the ordering just so I could go to every shop in town and then have to do rush delivery or risk not getting it in time for alterations.

    I shopped both places, too! I also bought a maggie sottero dress from Azteca. Do you mind if I ask what the discount was for the Azteca trunk show? I bought mine before the trunk show and now I'm wondering if I should have waited for the better deal. I got 15% off, so I'm hoping it's not too much better than that! I love the dress. The one shoulder look is really pretty! :)

    Thanks!  The one shoulder is quite controversial amongst my friends, but I think I can rock the one strap!

    My dress they were doing 15%, a few others they said 20%, so it sounds like you got a good deal.  Which style did you get?

    I really like it!  I think you look fantastic in the one strap.  Congrats on finding one!

    All of the October brides are getting their dresses!  I am a Nov bride and I have only gone to 2 stores and then quit!  Oh My, I need to get my act together!

    love it!

    I am just getting started with the alterations process at Suzanne's. Give yourself extra time for appointments and bring a mom / friend (they are very busy, which I guess is a good sign, but it can be a little frustrating if you are alone). They seem to know what they are doing... so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt!

    That dress is stunning on you! Such a good choice.
    I'm in the alterations process at Suzannes as well and I've been really impressed. I had to start super early because I'm having a large part of my dress remade.

    Awesome dress!  I am so jealous that I've been looking and havent' found it yet.  I really liked the Maggie Sottero Claudia dress, but I haven't convinced myself that I can spend that much on a dress.  Probably going out again this weekend!  Wish me luck!

    That's a beautiful dress! I haven't even considered looking yet. One thing at a time for this girl!

    Looks great.  The material looks bridal and sexy at the same time- which is hard to pull off!

    Thanks for all the nice comments. I love my dress, no buyer's remorse yet.  I am glad I didn't let anyone talk me out of it.
