After reading so many stories about girls buying one dress only to discover later that they''ve changed their mind and that they want an entirely different dress, I''m left a bit nervous about ordering my own wedding gown.
As a little background...My wedding is scheduled for the late afternoon of 10/11/08 in upstate NY at a mansion overlooking one of the Finger Lakes and the surrounding hills so I''d be best served with something a bit elegant and romantic while still "me". So far I''ve tried on about 40 different dresses and I''ve not had any gut feeling about any of them until I tried on this particular dress at David''s. I honestly had no intentions of buying anything from David''s and I even had a hard time finding just 4 dresses that I was even interested in trying on. The first two were OK, but once I had slipped into this third dress and looked down at myself, I had this little rush of excitement and I was certainly feeling optimistic. After trying on so many dresses, it was a relief to actually get that fluttery feeling that I thought would never come. When I emerged from the dressing room and faced the mirrors and my mom and sister we all definitely had an instant reaction and it was the sort of reaction I was really hoping for.
Since that time I''ve been second guessing my gut feeling though. I''ve been worried that pick up skirts will look quickly dated, or that I''ll join so many other girls that find another dress later on that they love more. Part of me is probably also a bit nervous because the last time I found a dress that I loved at David''s I almost bought it but just a few weeks later it became obvious that the relationship I was in was really not the right one for me, so I''ve already got a bit of a stigma against that place.
So, all of that being said, does this dress look OK on me, or am I being blinded by the rich taffeta and the shiny beads?
