The Dress

Happy Tuesday, friends!

So....I found my dress! It's amazing and beautiful and I LOVE it.

I really thought I had found my dress - a 1950s vintage number at a local bridal shop - but decided to go to David's Bridal for one last round just to make sure. I really didn't expect to find a dress. Like at all.

My besty Kristi went with me, and we had a list of the five non-ugly dresses I had found online.

This is not my dress.
When I put the dress on, I just knew it was the one. People say that you'll just know but I hadn't felt that way. I had tried on a TON of dresses and I liked them and they were pretty and would have been fine, but then I tried the one.

This is also not my dress.

I walked out of the dressing room and I looked at K and she was crying. Crying! Then I started crying. And I looked over at the ladies next to us and they were crying. I guess it's the dress when you make complete strangers cry.  :)

This is not me.
Now, when you find your dress at David's Bridal, they want you to ring a bell. (Not even kidding.) I told them that there was no way in hell I was ringing a bell. I mean come on.

I would love to show you a photo, but I don't want the lady love to see, but trust me - it's perfect. No alterations are needed - it's that perfect!


Find a dress? Check! Now it's time to tackle the rest of our list.

Lots of love to you, darlings!

xoxo,

S.S.

  3. You said yes to the dress!!! (couldn't help it) Yay!!! I want to see! I understand not posting it here, but I hope to see it at some point!

    Yeah, David's Bridal gets a bad rap - but I actually found my dress there too oddly enough. I think they can be hit or miss and luckily for you and me, we found the hits!
