***UPDATEI found my dress! New pics on bottom***

ORIGINAL POST: Well...I went to Adriennes in Islip yesterday, and after I went to Fantasia Bridal in Rocky Point.

Maryanne at Adriennes was WONDERFUL!! She was patient, and never made any comments about my weight, and shimmying into the size 10 samples!! It was wonderful, and a far cry from my David's Bridal experience...not to mention I have lost 22 lbs since then, so it made it a little bit easier!! To be honest, there were more than one dress I liked. I went back this morning with my mother, and as soon as I put a dress on that I didn't try on yesterday, Maryann said 'THIS IS THE ONE', and my mom LOVED IT!! Being my indecisive self, and being I had to get an idea of what the dress looked like from a sample that made me look like a stuffed sausage...it was hard to decide.

I am going to post a link to the pics(All pics were snuck, and without me in them)...I don't want to post them on here because when I look back at the post I take the risk of having FH see it.

I ordered it with a sweetheart neckline, and I believe I am going to have them put a halter strap on ot as well. I am also going to get all of the chrinolin taken out....
My Dress
For some reason I am super nervous about it, but I do think the dress is beautiful and very different! I am dying to to show FH....it is hard...he is my best friend and honest about everything I buy....but I am going to keep it from him if it kills me. I think I am going on Monday to try it on for my friend and sister...I will take pics of me with it on.
Tell me what you think!!

UPDATE:
I have been feeling sick about picking this dress all weekend, and I felt that it was more my mom's dream dress than mine. One of the first ones I had tried on the day I went with my sister and friend I loved, and I felt that I wanted to stop looking, but when I showed my mom the next morning she wasn't crazy about it. We put the deposit down, and Maryann said that if I wanted to come back on monday and show my sis and friend I could before she put the order in.
I tried on the dress again, and I didn't get the best reactions....but I tried on the dress I loved originally and I knew this is THE ONE!! I didn' t want to take it off...and it is GORGEOUS!! My mom isn't super thrilled, but it is my wedding, and I have to love my dress, and I do....I feel so much better now!! This is it!!
Don't mind...it doesn't fit me obviously....
It has straps, but I think I am going to wear it strapless....but you get the idea...

Re: I found my dress! WITH PICS

I am very happy for you. I know it can be somewhat scary to try on dresses. I had a similar experience but in the end I think we put a lot of pressure on ourselves when we actually look stunning to others. I am sure you looked beautiful and when you finally take some pics in it please post it we can tell you so
