Went dress shopping for the first time today!

My fav dress of the day is attached. It looks a lot like the Justina McCaffrey dress that I love. Going to check out a few more salons before I make a descision but I am happy with this dress so far.

I actually chose this as my wedding gown. That picture does not do the dress the justice it deserves, plus it is so much nicer in ivory!! I can't wait to wear it. The only thing I would caution you to do is find out if they can do hollow to hem so that is custom made for your height if you decide to buy it. It might be extra but its worth it. I have to add more bustles (pick up points) because mine is too long. I am a little concerned because I don't want to alter the style of the dress over much by adding the bustling.

Good luck with your search!

Re: Went dress shopping for the first time today!

Thanks for the advice. I love the way this dress bustles in the back, the way the material is set to already bustle gives it some umph! I agree this pic does not do this dress justice at all! If I get this dress I may also add a piece of fabric (like a bow, but it will just go around the waist no pieces hanging down) around the waiste to accentuate it.
