Dress Shopping (PIX!)-Update: bought my dress

pinkshorts27 · August 2014

Edit: Bought the first dress!

____________________________________

(After resolving previous situation with FI, will update later today) I went dress shopping today! I went by myself, so I want to share pictures. I have a favorite, but would love to hear your opinions.

I went to David's Bridal and it was awesome. I went early saturday so it wasn't too busy. I had the consultant to myself and she helped me find dresses. Also the family of the bride next to me was super nice to me (probably because I was alone).

Here are some pictures. Dress one and two were my favorite. What do you ladies think?

Dress one

Dress Two

Dress Three (least Fav)

Dress Four

Dress Five

I like the 1st and 5th ones

luckya23 · August 2014

Nice! I like the 5th best, and then your least fave :-)

First is my fav by far. I don't have a sideways pic of the fifth. I can't remember what it looked like

I like the 2nd one. Simple but the little details on it really make the gown!

Dress is very pretty on my least fav, but I just don't feel comfortable in it and didn't think it was flattering.

Number 1. I actually thought the second photo of dress 1 was really dress 2, and I loved the lace straps. I couldn't see it in the first photo cos of your hair, so I vote 1

#1 and #5. All are pretty though, yourself included!

Thanks, you are sweet.

I also like 1 and 5.

missdelilah · August 2014

Definitely loving dress one on you. I'm so pleased you enjoyed your shopping experience.

chibiyui · August 2014

The first is my fave. Looks great!

pinkshorts27 · August 2014

So I have a question for you ladies. Should I go look at more dresses tomorrow? I know I have to order soon due to my wedding being in Dec, but I was thinking I might look at some more ball gowns (maybe some cheaper ones?). Or would that be silly?

luckya23 · August 2014

I say shop until you're sure! A couple days probably won't make a difference, and I think DB gets them in pretty quickly.

Are you planning to go back to the same place or somewhere else?

Same place. Found some more online I'd be interested in viewing

Dress 5 looks so good on you! #1 would be my second choice

arrippa · August 2014

Dress 5 is my fav but I also like dress 2 as well.

CamiSelene · August 2014

I'm slightly against the grain here.... I actually like dress 2 best

pinkshorts27 · August 2014

This is all so interesting. I have a clear favorite, like I thought it was obvious, but clearly it isn't!

Ndelible · August 2014

Agree with your choice of #1, you rock it. I tried in dress #4 and know pictures don't do it justice.

NYCMercedes · August 2014

Dresses one is my fave. Dress five is almost there. I like your happy smile in dress one.

LabLove86 · August 2014

Dress 1 is my fav, with dress 2 at a close second

lc07 · August 2014

DRESS 1 FOR SURE! You look awesome in it!

lc07 · August 2014

Okay, I'm also super curious - which one is your fav?

Blergbot · August 2014

Dress 2!

Dress one, then two, then five but one by far.

themuffinman16 · August 2014

Dress two!!!

KytchynWitche · August 2014

Dress one, definitely! I hope you won't take offense, but I feel like dresses two and four cut you very short in the torso, making you look disproportionate, and dresses three and five don't do anything to emphasize your wonderful curves. It looks like you feel gorgeous, comfortable, and confident in dress one, and the others don't seem to convey that. Just my 2c though.

BreMR · August 2014

I vote dress 2 as my absolute favorite, but #5 being my 2nd favorite

I agree with @alucky23, shop until you're sure!! I just found my dress yesterday and the whole saying "You know when it's your dress" completely rang true for me!
