I bought my dress!!

[happy in love]

A few weeks ago I fell in love with the Melissa Sweet "fern" and was sooooo bummed that is was way out of my price range...
Well, after going back in to the bridal salon a few times to *visit* the dress, I asked the owner if she ever holds sample sales and what the discount is. She then told me that she would sell me that dress for 50% off and I could have it whenever I wanted!!!!! The sample fits really well, just a bit taken in at the waist, and the hem taken up a tiny bit, and it is in great shape!
I bought it today! Here are some pics for you guys.
ps. I think I am going to have the crinolen thing removed so it lays a little more straight like the pics on the MS website. AND pay no attention to the veil!

Wow what a beautiful dress! And you are so lucky to get such a great deal! See, it never hurts to ask for a discount - I even got a discount on my "sample" dress!

Congrats on getting the dress of your dreams!

Gorgeous, I love it!! And what a great deal!!

SAVVY SHOPPING! And a lovely gown. It really flatters your figure and the fabric makes a person want to reach out and touch it. Congrats!!

Congrats on finding THE dress and finding a way to be able to afford it! You look amazing!

Yay! thanks guys. I am so happy with my dress! Now, if I could decide on a place we''d be set!

I might have done things a little out of order, but I was afraid if I waited too long that my "sample" dress would be ruined by other brides trying it on.

I love this gown. I looked everywhere for it and the only place I found it was online through Melissa Sweet website. I think the pics are allot better then what Melissa''s website offers me. I was wondering about the skirt part of the gown. It looks like a solid gown but then again it looks like it is in seaprates. Do oyu have any more pictures of your gown?

I think this is a wonderful gown for you, I hope I look just as amazing as you do in it. Please post more pics if you have anymore. I want to see all the details. Whoo hoooo Now I am kind of more excited about paying that much and not getting to try it on.

Good for you! Your dress is beautiful, I love Melissa Sweet gowns and I can''t believe what a deal you got!

You and Harleigh are making me feel so ashamed for not being more bargain savvy when I bought my dress!

Seriously, though, that is one gorgeous dress and it looks beautiful on you.

 

[Harleigh]

It looks stunning on you! Congratulations on finding a dress you love!

I agree...it is lovely. I think it has a vintage appeal with modern influences and it looks so great on your figure!! Yeah!!
