Wedding Dress
Finding just the right one...
Finding the "right" dress is harder than I thought. People say "oh you'll know the dress when you put it on". Really!?!

It's defintley a challenge to even try on dresses when you've got a chest. Most sample gowns are 10 and 12, therefore making it very difficult to get anything over my chest.

So relying on blind faith of the saleswoman and trusting that they have your best interest at heart and not your wallet you have to go with the vision. It's tough!

See having a chest is a curse...

I am so with you except with the chest curse (I have the hip curse, I'm small but have wide hips). Tell me dress hunting gets easier? I have literally tried on almost 20 dresses and I just don't feel like any of them are the one.

I did find a dress finally...

I went with a v neck front and back alencon lace, simple a line.  I must say that I do love it!  

Farfromtheshore....it did get easier.  I read a LOT of magazines about what would look best on my body type and really had to trust in the saleswoman at the boutique.  I ended up spending more than I originally wanted but it was worth it!  I just had to find the place as well as the dress....

You'll find it!

Hi.  We went to several places looking for a dress.  We didn't care for the boutiques as much as David's bridal BECAUSE we could try on my dress in my size.  How can anyone tell how a dress is really going to look or figure anything out without seeing it on!  For me this was important and helped a lot.  You might find it helps for narrowing it down--but now that I read further it looks like you've found your dress!  I hope it works perfect for you!  Congratulations!!!!!

I actually just picked my dress up on Thursday night!  It was a great choice...   I LOVE IT!!!!!  I have to post a picture of it soon...

MN Bride Soon!  I've heard that about David's but I was really turned off by the way they run their show and didn't want to have to deal with the issues that I've heard from MANY girls in my area.  

I didn't mind paying more for my dress because I went to a boutique bridal salon and it was worth it.  I had a WONDERFUL experience with the salon and would recommend the salon to ANYONE!  It was a private appointment every time I was there, no other people or brides there while I was there and to me that was really important as I want all the attention of the owner/salesperson because this is such a huge purchase.  But more power to you if you make out there!  I do know a couple girls who went there to try on dresses to see what silhouettes looked good but then purchased at another salon...  

Happy Hunting...
