I went to visit my sister in TX and we went to David's Bridal (of all places!) and I tried on at least 10 different dresses. My sister kept telling me to keep trying this one dress that was just so gorgeous on the mannequin, but I had my doubts. Anyway, I tried it on, and my sister said my face just completely changed when I looked in the mirror. I didn't see my face because I was so busy looking at the dress, but she said she knew right then and there that it was the one. And then I knew. It's completely not what I expected and not at all what I would have pictured myself in, but it just looked gorgeous on.
I'm going to have the spaghetti straps removed and have a wrap made for it for the ceremony. Also, the picture doesn't do it justice. The front of the dress is very simple, except for the sash, but the box pleats make a huge difference, and you can't see them from the back. Plus, the embroidery on the sash is so much better in person. I'm still going to try to get a copy of it made for free (hey, I'm cheap, what can I say), so I haven't ordered it yet.
Anyway, enough babbling...here it is:
It's not showing up for me when I do a preview, so here's the link for it:
