I think I found The Dress!!!!

[laughwithme]

I am so very excited right now! Yesterday I went with a few girlfriends on dress shopping trip #2. Over the last few weeks, I had decided that I basically didn''t like any of the five that I liked on my first trip...and I think the reason was because my FI keeps saying he doesn''t like lace/embellishments, but rather something more simple, and I just couldn''t shake the feeling that he might not like all the lacy ones I chose on trip #1.

Yesterday, I did try on quite a few lace dresses...and loved some, but was starting to get concerned that I never had the "OMG" moment everyone talks about. At the second store, when we were about to leave, I asked the owner to bring out just one more...she brought out Casablanca 1902 and on the rack, me and my girlfriends were like "uhhh....this could be the one." I put it on and since it was about 6 sizes too big, at first I couldn''t see the effect of the trumpet style. Then they tightened it around my body and I instantly knew, this was my favorite dress of the nearly 40 I''ve tried on in the last month!!!! I love it, my friends love it, my FI will ADORE it, it fits the style of my wedding...and it''s below budget! I''m going back in three weeks to try it on again to ensure that I feel the same way...but I think this may be the one!!

Please excuse my AWFUL tan lines...they will be nonexistent for my wedding next summer

The train is stunning...probably one of the prettiest trains on any dress I''ve tried on so far.

I love it!

No idea why I''m standing so awkwardly at a tilt...I think since my friend was keeping the dress tight, I was trying to stand weird or something.

Last one for now...the beautiful lace/beading detail. It''s on the top, around the chest area, and also along the bottom section of the train...but the middle of the dress is all beautiful silk taffita. It''s the perfect combo IMO.
