I finally found my wedding dress! So my mom and I were meeting up with a seamstress about a badly damaged sample dress that was 50% off. It was a gorgeous AA lace/tulle overlay that was discontinued. We spent an hour at least brainstorming and thinking of ways to fix or cover up the multiple tears. The store had called AA to see if they could still recut the dress or send new tulle panels or lace appliques to help with the alterations, but they refused. Eventually, we decided it wasn''t worth the money and there just had to be something else out there that was similar or "my dress".
We leave the store defeated, about to head home, I didn''t even ask if she wanted to go out to dinner because she had had a stressful day at work. As we are about to get in our respective cars, she says, "now I want to go dress shopping with you." To which I replied, "well there is a David''s 10 minutes away." It was a plan. I had kind of wanted to go to this David''s because the first one I had gone to was smallish, and this one was the largest in the Twin Cities. So we catch a bite to eat and go. OMG, there were SO many dresses in my size, and the new fall collection had come out!
So I try on about 20 dresses or so, revisit a few of my old favorites. Then I come upon this chiffon strapless. Nothing special rings in my head immediately. Then I step out to the mirrors. At first I just like it, then my mom gasps and starts to tell me how beautiful I look in it. The more I look, the more I move, the more I like. We try on a few more. Nothing compares to how I feel in this dress. It is COMFORTABLE, airy, light, non-constricting. And I feel like a bride. I knew I would not be the "OMG this is the one." And it is true. I decided to sleep on it. But I haven''t stopped thinking about this dress. Day and night. I have shown it to a million people. So I have an appointment in 3 hours to go back, try it on, and purchase it! Ack! Here is a link, and I am working on attaching photos so you don''t have to go to the link. I will be sure to get pictures of me in it. We didn''t even have the camera with because I wasn''t expecting to go dress shopping that night! I''ll stop babbling now, I could just squeal I am so excited!
