I went dress shopping again yesterday and I ordered my dress, which is actually the first dress I tried on and the one I posted about a week ago. I tried on a bunch of different dresses, but the last dress I put on was the one I already liked, and that was it. It''s the dress. And I felt even better in it this time, still didn''t want to take it off after putting it on, and even found the veil that I think I might get.
They also had the dress in diamond white with pewter accents, which is the color I had planned on ordering it. Seeing it in the right color really helped and made me love the dress even more.
We got a really great deal on the dress, too. This place gives free alterations (all the standard stuff except for the bustle), and their price with alterations included was less than a hundred dollars more than the other place I went to that didn''t include alterations. Also, that price includes the matching jacket, which at the other place was not included at the lower price (price without jacket was $1050, price with jacket was around $1300 - we got it for $1128 with alterations and the jacket!).
(I originally intended to get it without the jacket, but the bridal shop wasn''t even sure that it COULD be ordered without the jacket (which is odd since the last place had different prices for with and without), but the price with the jacket was so cheap that I decided to just go with it and if I wear it, I wear it, if not, oh well. It might be nice for the reception since it will be outdoors (weather permitting) and may get a little cooler in the evening.)
But then it gets even better: the bridal shop is having a special Easter thing where you pick a plastic egg out of a basket which has a piece of paper inside giving you a discount on the dress or a free bustle. I got 15% off! Woo hoo! So the dress ended up being cheaper than the cheapest price I could find online, and I get alterations included.
I have better pictures of me in the dress, but here are the model pictures first.
Here''s the dress on the model without the jacket:
