So I continued dress shopping today. We had a rough morning but a much better afternoon. We went to paradise bridal first. When I walked in the woman just looked at me. I introduced myself and said I had an appointment. She looked in the book and said 'well we're very busy.' I looked at my friend and was like 'umm yeah, that's why I made an appointment.' She then huffs and puffs, and says well I guess I'll have to take you and walks away. My friend and I didn't know if we were suppose to follow and from about 25 feet away she waves at me like I'm stupid for not following her. We pick out some dresses to try on and she puts me in the smallest room ever. She would not give me a slip so I could see what the dress would look like. She just fluffed it and told me to try and picture it bigger. She kept turning the lights off when I was at the mirror, which I HATED, and told her not to do it but she kept doing it. The poor other brides are in the dark trying to get changed, and she's putting them in the dark so I can see myself in the dark. NO THANKS. Finally my friend asked someone else for a slip and they gave it to her. She was annoyed I had the slip and would not help me put on the dresses. I was dying trying to get it over my head myself. It was the worst experience ever!!! It made me hate dress shopping.
We left paradise, had some lunch and went to bayshore bridal. MUCH NICER!!!! The girl was nice, quiet, not pushy, helped me put of the dresses, I had room to change, gave me different slips........much better experience. Here are the dresses I tried on from bayshore bridal. Two and Four are my favs.....
P.S. Don't mind the faces.....
Dress #1- bad pic but looked nice in person
Dress #2-a contender
Dress #3
Dress #4- my friends favorite- I love the top but don't know if it's too 'pick-upy'

I LOVE number 2!!!! but I see that you like the top on number 4...I think that some designers can alter the shape of the top of their dresses....from straight to sweetheart....

Re: More dress shopping w/PICS
Now you look great in all of these dresses, but my brutally honest opinions are:
Dress 1: Looks AMAZING on you!!! Got my vote. You look so thin, elegant and like a bride.
Dress 2: Also looks great on you. I especially like the waist and the skirt. I don't know if I love the beading, but it's hard to tell what the beading looks like from that picture.
Dress 3: Don't really like this dress at all. Just my opinion. Looks good on you, but the dress.. eh...
Dress 4: Love the top of the dress! Looks amazing on you. While I like pickups and chose a pick-up dress myself, I'm not crazy about the bottom. It might look better without the pickups or with less linear pickups? It's growing on me though.
1 and 4 are my favorites, then #2.
Please take my comments with a grain of salt... I don't think Ive seen a single bride on here even consider my dress or BM dresses

Re: More dress shopping w/PICS
Dress #2 is my fav too........I do love the top of dress #4 but the bottom is too organized for me I think....
There was something about dress #1 though....
Dress #3 is just in there for kicks I guess...

I love # 2. I love # 2 so much that I bought it. I also got my dress from bridal suite of bay shore they were great. My dress comes in, in Feb. I can't wait. Good luck with your decision.

Re: More dress shopping w/PICS
In order: #1 and #2 (tie), #4, #3.
1) You look great in this one. Very Hollywood glamour.
2) This one outlines your figure well.
3) Probably my least favorite of the set. I like the beading, but there's something about the waist that doesn't sit quite right.
4) The top is very flattering. The pick ups look quite 'frothy.'
Good luck! You look like you're having good time shopping!
