    I went dress shopping yesterday with my mom and sister-in-law, and I'm 99.9% sure I found "the one."  I have been stalking this dress online for months now, but it was never in any of the shops I went to. Finally, yesterday, I found a store with the sample! I love, love, loved it. My wedding is still a year away, so I'll probably wait to order in a couple of months. Plus, I'm really big on not making an on-the-spot emotional decision, so I'm going to really think it over so I won't have "dress regret." I REALLY don't see that happening though.

    SO--what do you bees think?? (by the way--sorry for the crappy cell phone pictures; my sister and law had to sneak them because the store didn't allow picsEmbarassed)

    It's amazing on you! It's not an on-the-spot decision - you've been dreaming of it for awhile, and your dreams were clearly realized in person. I say go for it. What dress is it?

    BEAUTIFUL!

    I had really wanted to find all-over lace, but I never found anything in my budget that really flattered me. 

    This dress looks amazing on you, and it really has that "wow" factor. Love it!

    Beautiful dress!  You might want to order it sooner rather than later because some of the designers can take 8 months or more for the dress to come in and you will need at least a few months for alterations.  Might be something to ask about.

    Thank you so much for the kind words everybody!! You are all so sweet!

    @noodlesploosh: Thank you so much! You're right--it is kind of like it was meant to be :) I think my biggest fear (ever since joining weddingbee, lol!) is dress regret, so that's really why I didn't order it "on the spot." Also, it's the Enzoani Diana.

     

    @MissAsB: Yeah, that's a really good point. I asked the manager, and she said it would take about 6 months...BUT I have heard that the Enzoani designs are getting more popular, so they're taking longer to come in. I think I'm going to aim to order in April, and hopefully that will be enough time.

     @StrwbryBlnde: it is Enzoani Diana! Thank you so much!

    It's awesome on you! Get it.

     

    Side note: isn't it awful when a dress shop won't let you take photos? I mean I kind of get it at an atelier that is protecting their designs, but seriously, there are a few dresses i didn't buy because i didn't have pictures to show my MOHs to help me decide!

     

    Glad you found it!

    It looks absolutely stunning on you! If you've been eyeing it for a while, I wouldn't consider it to be a split decision... but I really admire the fact that you realize that your wedding is still quite a while away and don't want to jump into anything. I'm the same way about spending money!

    thanks so much everybody! SmileYeah, I've pretty much decided this is the one:) Now I'm just calling all of the stores within driving distance trying to find the best price possible.

    @amyisnice: The designer is Enzoani, and the style is Diana. Highly recommend Enzoani--they have some beautiful dresses!

    @bridezilla12: Thank you!! I think the Amy Michelson dress will always haunt me :) BUT--I will say that since I've tried on the Enzoani Diana that I haven't thought about the Grace dress NEARLY as much. Also, I even started thinking that maybe the Grace dress just wouldn't be quite right for my wedding--formal wedding, in a church, etc. I guess the Enzoani dress just made me slightly "forget" about the Grace dress--which makes me think the Enzoani is probably the one (or at least the REALISTIC "one" that I can afford and can try on before purchasing) haha :)

    Thank you everyone for all of your sweet comments! As an update, I actually found a store within driving distance that carries the dress and has a great price!! I am going to try it on one more time just to make sure. My appointment to try it on is near the end of March--so I'm aiming to have my order placed late March/early April. So excited :)

    @seanji: Sorry just now saw this! I'm not sure if there are any specific online sites that sell the dress. You might check the pre-owned sites like preownedweddingdresses.com, oncewed.com, recycledbride.com. Maybe ebay as well. Other than that, I'm not entirely sure it's sold online unless you order a replica :/
