I went looking at gowns yesterday, and I LOVED one. The issue is that it's a discontinued style. I tried on the sample and it was a bit snug but it zipped and the seamstress there said that they could make it work if they let out ALL the seems but that would cost a fortune to do. If I bought the sample and waited a few months and tried it on again after losing some weight, and they didnt have to open all the seams the alterations would be capped at $295.
I decided it seemed worth it, so I called my Mom and had her meet me at the shop to see the gown. She said it was a gorgeous gown, but also said i looked fat. She does this with every gown I've loved so far. I tried explaining to her, that I am NOT a small girl, and white does not help in the slimming department. I'm not going to look small in any big white gown i put on, but I didnt feel huge in this gown.
I loved it, but didnt love how she made me feel in it... so I didnt get it. I spent a good portion of last night moping because of this... and I had wedding nightmares because of it.
I don't know what to do. The shop isnt open again till Tuesday.... I don't even know the style number.
___________________ UPDATE!! So Ashley from the shop just called me!! She told me the style number, and said not to worry she doesnt think it'll get sold. It's not an ugly dress or anything, its just not a popular style. If any of you could try to find pictures of this gown for me, i'll be your best friend! Impressions Style # 2716
thanks so much!!

Unfortunately, Ashley is the one who was 'helping' us. She's a sweety, and she called me back on a sunday, so i didnt want to flip out on her, which is what would have happened if i had bothered mentioning it. However, I did say I left without buying anything because I didnt get to see how the dress fit the way i did when SHE helped me... so I dunno.

I'm so conflicted right now. There are two dresses that I love. They are both very similar. It's making me crazy. There is another gown I really like, but it's a very popular gown, and I'm not big on that. I like doing things a little differant so that one is out.
I wish I could try both gowns on, at the same damn place side by side. It would make life so much easier!
