Update Day three Review

Well I am off to davids bridal in lake grove and then maybe Adrienne's in islip (no appointment but will call ahead to see if i can be fit in).

I called up one of the shops i visited to see if they have the two dress i like for me to try on so i can compare both together if possibly. One dress i love is in Lindy and the other one is in baldwin. This way maybe I can figure out which is the one! So if i get good news I am rushing over there and trying those dress one and I can take pics there.

Only negative my joints are hurting and I am bloated BADLY - its going to be my time today or tomorrow I can feel it

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE

Okay I am back and man David's Bridal was a zoo and even though I had a appointment I hardly saw the girl ( i do not blame her at all i blame who does the scheduling) Two to three appointments at a time then they have to juggly walk ins on top of it. I just took dresses off racks and tried them on and honestly hated them all. I feel bad saying it but I was miserable. One dress wasn't so bad but it wasn't the one. My mom was nasty today she was saying how the dresses were crappy considering what we were looking at as a girl is next me trying on a dress. I was horrified at her and pulled her aside and told her off. I can't understand her at times.

This is the only dress I kinda liked but it was heavy and no sleeves looked good on it.


I had my bridesmaid melissa there but she didn't want to try anything on so we didn't bother. I was then getting bad cramps and freaking out so we drove to Islip to see if we could go to Adrienne's and MAN that place is pretty but appointment only. SO i made on for next saturday when I resume looking. We ate lunch then I called up Renates again to show melissa the dress i love and WE got a picture!! Okay here is a pic of the dress I am really loving. It meets my price and the look I am going for.



I wish we could have better shots but it still looks good on me and felt good on me.

So what I will do is see how much the cassblanca will be if its not too much more for the extras try that on sometime next week again go to my sat. appointment and make my mind up.

When I got home though my mom turned nasty on me and said well your really fat looking in these pics and you should really drop some pounds before buying a dress. I realize i am not thin but after feeling good about a dress nad feeling pretty she says that and now i am just going to crawl into my bed for a few hours and hide because that killed me.

Anyway I would give davids bridal a chance only for the bridesamaids because i liked the selection and prices.

I hope my reviews help some!

you have to be sneaky with most shops. Have someone with you asking questions at all times. My sister in law was great with this. How much is this? How much is the hem? How much for the alterations? how much for a bustle - how about sleeves, etc? Then as she is asking I would look at straps and tags in the gowns as best as possible and try real hard to remember the dress and its details and search online when I just got home.

Some places tell you upfront what it is which is nice so your not searching around or being sneaky.

Its a Maggie!

Thanks girls. I really do love it. It comes with a shawl and pocket book. We are going to order extra fabric and make a small valero with it most likely. But its really what i always wanted. Elegant and classic nothing too puffy and blingy. Its in diamond white lace over gold finish underneath.

i really like that dress - it is very elegant!

and as for your mom - i have to give you some hugs i can totally relate - after spending all day last saturday telling her she looked gorgeous in all the MOB dresses even though she felt terrible bc she went up two sizes. . . ALL she has been talking about is how when i tried on a BM dress to show her - the acne on my back looked really bad. .

um hello that is why i go to the derm. every single week - but she WILL NOT DROP IT. so yes - thanks to mom for saying i look disgusting.

why cant we have those moms like on TV where they just start crying when they see the bride in her dress?

Re: Update Day three Review

Yea i dunno i really feel like poop now i went into my bed for like two hours and just felt bad. FH was mad at my mom again for saying it after i was all happy about possibly having my dress picked out. Every time i look at the pic i love it more and more. I look forward to my last appointment next weekend and I think I will try to see if Lilletes in baldwin will squeeze me in on saturday so i can try the cassa back on and make a final descision.

Your right I wish mom's didn't have to do that and tear us apart on our happiest moment and instead be the nice happy crying mommy.
