Dress shopping: round one!

[shertz1981]

So, today I went with my parents to Priscilla of Boston and had a GREAT time.

I was seriously worried about this -- not only is every ligament torn in my ankle, meaning a really ugly-icky splint and a sneaker on the other foot, but I''m a street size 12 and v. busty. However, most of the samples I could get on well enough that I could see how it would fit.

The Melissa Sweet Dora and Fern both were epic, epic fail on me. I mean epic.

But there were three dresses I loved (no IRL pics, sadly -- I couldn''t manage with my gimpy leg)

Melissa Sweet Harlow

A Melissa Sweet that I can''t find online -- it''s very plain, lots of criss-cross sashing, with two bows in the back

And this Platinum for PoB
Platinum dress

Check out the BACK in that link

Can''t wait for my next appt

Ooh the Harlow is lovely, the organza is so swishy and floaty. I''m glad you had a good first dress shopping run despite the bum ankle!

I love love love that Melissa Sweet Harlow. It flows beautifully.

That platinum dress is To Die For!! It''s one of the first dresses I ever ripped out of a bridal magazine.

I hope your ankle heals soon so that we can see IRL pics from your next appointment!

Maybe when it''s time for fittings! I now have a boot instead of a splint, but I am not in great shape to go to Kleinfeld on Sunday -- boo.

Nothin'' sez weddin'' elegance like a gigantic black boot.

Loving the Harlow! It''s so pretty and full of movement. Both romantic and fun at once. In fact, it makes me want to go try it on! (but I must not since I already have a dress.)
