Opinions girls!! Here are some dresses that I'm thinking about. My dad said that he'd foot the bill on any dress under $200... And I'm looking!! Here are the first few:

All of them are from Macy's. I'm ordering a 14 and waiting until two weeks before the wedding to get it altered.. I figure, with being Vegetarian, Breastfeeding, and excersize, I should drop some serious pounds before the nuptuals!

I really like dress #2.
It really looks like somthing you might be able to wear again if you wanted.
Have fun looking :D

I like #3 because it's very pretty and the most wedding like in my opinion, but I would have to agree that #2 could be worn again if you are interested in that!!!

Yeah, I feel like I'm leaning torwards #3. My wedding dress is something that I don't need to wear again...I tried posting the pics themselves, but they won't show.:bbconfused:

Plus, I looked closely at the hemline of #3, and it has that same thing going as that Lazaro dress that I fell in love with. The reason that I wasn't going to go with that one was because it was so long, and I'm not going to go walk around on the dirty stinky riverwalk in my dress if it'd dragging the ground. This one is pretty like that, but won't turn black from dragging.

I like the second and third ones. I really like the second one. It reminds me of a dress that I have now that I just love to put on. I always feel great when we go out and I wear that dress. But the thirds one will make you look more bridal I think since it is white and lace and have that little train-esque thingy on the back. (Thingy for those of you who aren't into the world if high fashion is a very technical term used in the business. :bbmrgreen: )

I like 2 and 3, pretty much the same reasons the other ladies said ... 2 is nice and looks like it could be dressed up for the wedding and sort of dressed down a bit to wear again. Then 3 looks more wedding'y ;) If it was me, I would go with number 3. But I am sure you would look great in either!

:goodluck:

I love #2 also. Do you know if they only sell it at Macy's? I love this style of dress for my bridesmaids (as long as you don't care if I steal your idea), but I would want different colors than what they had.

I really like #3 I think it is the best "wedding" dress. Its actually VERY gorgeous and I think it will work well for your wedding and it won't drag on the "icky" ground!! Lol

Thanks for the advice ladies!! My dad is going to Dillards now to order the third dress (Oh, I LOVE IT!!) a little bigger than I need and I'm going to get alterations two weeks before the wedding. Now, just to find a place to stash the dress until the wedding!!

Thanks ladies! The biggest thing on my mind is DONE, what a relief!:bbmrgreen:

Do you have a spare bedroom or closet that Carlo doesn't need to go into?? (AT ALL??!!) Put it in there and then put a big sign on the door for Carlo to stay out!! Thats what I did when my dress got dropped off at our place! It's a good thing I put the sign on there because there were a few times when my hunny almost opened the door and walked right in....lol!!

We are in a 1 bedroom apartment. Nowhere to stash the goods.

I'll probably just keep it at my bast friend's house until the wedding. Honestly, she and Carlo aren't really chummy, and he can't stand her BF, so there's no way that he would get to see it. Plus, she's doing my makeup, so she HAS to be there when I get ready, anyway!

Oh, I'm so relieved!
