The dress and hair blues (kinda random)

SugarFoote · February 2012

I found the most prettiest dress in the whole wide world ever created by the hands of whoever created it. It is awesome. And oh how I love it so much, but unfortunately it is not sold in stores. I have searched it everywhere and I can not find it in a single store. All the places I have found it at, only sell online. I even contacted DB about if they offered special ordering services (which like I figured, they do not). I do not want to purchase a dress without trying it on. So I guess I can't get that dress. I could show them (wherever I look at dresses at) a picture of this dress and see if they have one similar though right?
ETA: And all the places that I have found online that sale this dress, its like $150...that makes me want to buy it because that's not a whole lot of money if it doesn't work...but thats really cheap and makes me think, "ok? what if wrong with it?"

I have blonde hair. Never dyed it, highlighted it, nothing. I found a picture of some girls hair in Pinterest that I loved. I am now considering getting my hair done exactly like this (not for the wedding, for now). I love the color, the length, the style. All of it. But I am scared to death that I will hate it when I get it done. And do you know how much extensions are? They start at $1200. That's a bit much if you ask me.

Oohh I think I can help!

The reason you are finding the dress for $150 is because you're probably looking at it on Chinese knock off sites. That may also be the reason you can not find it in stores -- the sites may have a false name, designer, or style number.

I searched and it's actually Chardonnay by Maggie Sottero.

I looked on Maggie's site and I found retailers that carry her dresses in the Tennessee (that's where your profile says you are located):

That doesn't necessarily mean that they'll have the exact dress, but start with these stores and ask if they have Chardonnay.. if not, ask if they can order it in, since they are authorized retailers of Maggie's dresses

Good luck!
