lulu66 update, aka: i think i found the dress

[lulu66]

well, i went to yet ANOTHER bridal shop this week with just one of my best friends. i went hoping they carried pronovias "hindu" b/c i was thinking about blowing my budget on that dress but wanted to try it on once again. they didn''t have it (i originally tried it on at another shop during a trunk show), but i tried on other dresses since we made the trip. i tried on about six dresses. found one that i loved, i have no clue of the brand & don''t have any photos (not allowed, boo!) but it was a ballgown with a slight sweetheart neckline and a bow detail near the natural waist. so cute & lightweight. i was feeling really good about this one, then the SA asked if i wanted her to pull any dresses. i said, "sure!" she pulled pronovias "harlem." it''s much different from a ballgown, but has a true sweetheart neckline (very similar to the mori lee ballgown i loved) and more of a dropped waist into an a-line skirt. i''ll attach a pic below (stock photo) & here''s some links to previous dress trips so you can see my body shape. best thing: i loved it & everyone i''ve shown photos said they loved it too (FI & mom included!)!!

i found this image on a google image search of another bride in the dress (NOT ME!). i blurred out her face & am posting it b/c it def shows more of what i saw looking in the mirror!

I have still not seen a Pronovias dress that I didn''t absolutely adore, but this one is particularly beautiful! Congrats on finding your dress.

[lulu66]

thanks all for the positive comments!! BUT that''s not me in the dress

, i just found that image doing a google image search. the stock photo doesn''t show the dress straight on, so i thought that photo helps with the visualization! i''m taking my mother to see ME in the dress the first of dec, so hopefully it will be mine then & i''ll be back w/photos of ME in the dress!! but, really, thank you for all the positive comments!
