Found my "THE ONE" Dress

[Camel]

I had always imagined that when you are dress shopping you try one on and just know that it's the one..well after days of shopping and trying on SO many dresses I never got the feeling. Actually I felt so totally the opposite, I cried and felt like **** after. I had just started to think that trying on a dress and getting that "feeling" was just a myth and had decided to buy a dress that seemed nice enough today when it struck! I tried it on as a fluke walked out of the changeroom and my mom and I said at the same time, "this is it!!"

Here it is, but mine won't have the pin on the ribbon at the wait:

The best part is...it's way under my set budget! Even after taxes and alterations I had budgeted for nearly $700 more! Now I have my dream dress and a ton of money to put somewhere else too!

[Camel]

That's beautiful. Do you have any pics of you in it?

I wish I did :-( Unfortunatly they will only let you take pictures of you wearing a dress in their store when you've placed your order. The latest I can order is August to still get it here in plenty of time and since I've been working out like mad with my personal trainer I'm hoping to go a size down by August.

Sottero-Midgley...great decision, beautifu gown. Hope you reach your goal before ordering, good luck.

[NicksBride]

[Camel]

Thanks for all your kind words everyone...it makes me feel like I made a great choice! I'm already down a size as well! So I might order it a bit earlier than August

[NicksBride]

Wow congratulations, that is wonderful!!!!!

[Camel]

Yeah I was pretty surprised I started to see results after only a month! I guess spending all that money for someone to kick my butt into gear and walking around like I've been riding a horse were actually worth it!

[NicksBride]

haha, well that is fab!

[kevinsbride2B]

I'm a little late to pitch in but I had o tell you what a beautiful dress you have chosen!!! Nice! I've managed to confuse the heck out of Kevin. He had in his head that wedding dresses had to be puffy (mine is) but now he sees all sorts of different styles. He has no idea what to think. He he he!!!
Again it's a beautiful dress!

[kawaii2]

[neebelung]
