Eek! I exchanged my dress tonight!-Long post

I hope I made the right choice.

I was bragging to you all on Saturday that I got my dress. It was my second choice dress and I was told my first choice was discontinued (true). Because I was so upset, they gave me $200 off and I left happy about the deal, but unsure about the actual dress.

You all said it was lovely and you liked the long train. The truth is, that dress was not me. I'm very simple. I am not beading, lace and full cathedral train. I set out looking for a plain satin dress and had trouble finding it. Another plain, white satin dress I loved they said was also discontinued.... And knowing I had to stay in my budget, I didn't want to venture off to other stores.

Well, today it dawned on me, the dress I tried on in red and white... Maybe there was another store out there that had the dress in ivory and champagne. I called Westbury and they told me, ironically, the David's closest to my home was the only DB in all the East Coast that actually had it and in my size! How insane is that?

They held it for me all day and I swapped the fancy, beaded dress for my plain Jane satin number.

I am nervous though. Sunday, I figured it was a done deal and sent photos to all my bridesmaids, my mom, my aunt, etc. of me sportin' the fancy dress that is now not mine.

Here I am in a totally different gown which I was told by the bridesmaid who has been helping me dress shop, isn't very flattering in the back fat area, but otherwise looks very pretty. I am making a promise to work out hard and try to drop 25 lbs and purchase a tight shaper thing to help with the back fat.

Photos of some skinny chick in my dress are in my album. We didn't have time to snap photos of me in it and my friend doesn't know how to lace it up. So this is all I've got for you.
