So...I went dress shopping on Saturday...

Original post by kris_gets_hitched

Went to David's in The Source and Jessica McClintock in Roosevelt Field.

I thought I'd be a glutton for punishment going to David's on a Saturday afternoon, but I think due to the weather, no one felt like dress shopping, and the store was empty! There are three dresses that I keep going back to in my mind; my best friend took pics of me in them but hasn't uploaded them yet, so in the meantime while I'm awaiting those pics, here's the three dresses that I'm leaning towards:



I tried on a few vintage-y ones, but I think since I have larger hips (or as FH puts it, 'Britney Spears Hips' ) they weren't looking right on me.

I think I might call out 'sick' once this heat wave breaks and do some dress shopping on my own too, in the city.

Now, as for Jessica McClintock...I've always loved her dresses. If I didn't opt out of the prom years ago, I probably would have worn one of her dresses to it. So I was psyched when I found out that she had some funky bridal gowns. Well, my friend and I went there and no one bothered to help us at all - there was literally one other customer in the store and three girls on staff. We were pulling out dresses to try on, and the girls on staff never bothered to ask if we needed help, nothing about a dressing room...NOTHING. So I was like 'eff this' and we started to leave. Of course as we're leaving, one fo the girls asks if we needed any help and I pulled a Julia Roberts in 'Pretty Woman': 'Uh, yeah we needed help about five minutes ago! I've always been a JMC fan and never went to my prom, so I was highly considering buying one of her wedding gowns, but since you IGNORED me, I guess I'll spend my money elsewhere and you won't make any commission off of me. OH WELL!'

However, the experience at David's was a great one, so I think I'll be spending my cash there.

Yeah, I think I'm going to go to RK one of these nights after work. It's a couple blocks from my job and with my luck, I'd call out 'sick', go there, and be spotted on the street by one of my coworkers.

I'm also only wearing this dress for like, an hour...ceremony + some pictures. The I'm changing into an Indian lehnga for the reception.

But dress #3 did make me cry when I had it on. I cried in David's Bridal like a big fagola. My GWH (Gay Work Husband) keeps laughing at me about it!




awwww then maybe you should go with #3...i love all of them.

LOL i need a GWH!!

Glad you had a good experience at DB. I think I like the 1st the best. No pics of you in the dresses?


My best friend took pics, just hasn't uploaded them for me yet. I should have brought my own camera but she had her's in the car already.

Everyone needs a GWH. Someone to give you snaps when you're looking great, and someone to berate you for wearing - HORROR OF HORRORS - Converse sneaks to work.
On the days where I wear my Converse or Doc Martens, he comes by my office, looks at my shoes, sighs, and tells me that he hopes my FH knows he's marrying a lesbian.

He was actually going to make my gown for me, but said that our friendship would deteriorate because of it - he'd go all out and I'd want things toned down.
