Im a Maggie Sotero bride!! Yaaayy! I would upload the picture but I dont want my FH to accidentally come in here & see me in the dress. lol The other day I had left the site up & I caught him reading my post. So Im glad I did not post my dress. wheeeww!
But I found it on Oct 2nd at a very nice bridal store close to Houston. I had never heard of the place until I friend mentioned it to me & I said "what the heck it wont hurt to check it out", sinc i had already tried a few at Alfred Angelo & was not extremely happy with the ones i tried on. Guess what though? I tried on about 5 dresses at Wedings by Debbie & I felt AMAZING!!! I loved all the dresses & felt soooo beautiful in all of them. Which was a huge surprise! I was dreading in looking for my wedding dress for the simple fact that Im a big girl & I was scared that I was going to end up being extremely disappointed at the end of the day but to my surprise I felt great in all of them. It helped that every dress we saw that I liked had my size EXCEPT when it got to my fav Maggie Sotero dress. When I saw it on a mannequin, my mom & sis looked at me & said "that one is prettyyyy!!!" So the lady helping me said it was a small size but I still wanted to see if I could atleast get it on without closing it..... well when i got to try the dress ... it did NOT FIT!! It wouldnt go pass my chest. :( I couldnt believe it! the ONE dress I was really looking forward to trying out did not fit at all. What we did is tried on another dress my assistant found that was very similar to the maggie sottero dress & placed the bottom of the maggie sotero skirt infront of me & we took a picture. haha! I LOVED IT! she said it would be jsut about the same fit as the one I had on & that she promised that I would not be disappointed when I got it. Im a bit nervous when it arrives & that I try it on.... then that I dont like how it looks on me. ahhhh! But I risked it & ordered my Maggie Sottero dress AND my sister made me order one size smaller than what they recommended. Now I have to have to lose at least 20 lbs in about 3 mos. Am I CRAZY or WHAT??? lol OH & I actually got emotional when I tried 2 of the dresses that were my fav, both Maggie Sottero's.
Wish me Luck!!!!
