happy

Had a really nice experience at David's Bridal...
We got there at 5:30 and registered and looked through the magazines to find the dresses I wanted to try on so we could show the woman who helped us (I don't know her name but she was extremely nice and helpful).

I fell in love with a dress. We didn't really find a good deal on it but it's a low price as far as beautiful wedding gowns go. Mom and I haven't decided yet whether to buy this dress or have her make it. I think we're leaning more towards buying it since she's also going to be making my daughter's dress as well. But, whether she makes it or not, this will be what my gown looks like (keep in mind my dress will be ivory):

Here is the front: a satin dress with a halter-style neckline. The front of the skirt is plain.

Here is the back the gown has beaded venice lace along the straps on the back and the top/middle of the dress. The detachable organza train has even more of the beaded lace embellishments on it.

There were many other dresses that I tried on but none I loved as much as this dress. It was just perfect. It fit wonderfully (will need to be taken in a bit around the armpits, etc. but other than that it was great. I love that it's detachable so that I don't have to mess with a huge skirt while dancing at the reception. And I really like the train being made of organza. I think this dress is really flattering on me. It shows off my figure and doesn't seem to overpower my tiny stature. I love it.
