    Hi Bees - This is a follow up to this post:  http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/would-you-pay-1400-for-this-dress

    So I took the plunge, bought it from someone off of preownedweddingdresses.com and it was a great experience for us, both held up our ends of the deals on the dress, and it worked out well.  So my experience buying used was great!

    The dress seriously looks like new!  I will have to get it shortened a little, but other than that I may not have to do many alterations.  It is tight however, which is fine as I'm in the midst of getting in shape here.  It's a size 6 but it's been taken in some.  I was just glad to get it zipped so I had a better idea if it'd work for me. 

    I'll post pics of me in the dress in a couple months when it fits better, but in the meantime, here's some pics again of the dress on others!  I LOVE LOVE LOVE it.  And LOVE it!

    @Chachacha - On the congrats and on the avatar comment, however, they are kinda tickin me off lately;)  We really need a new pitcher. Anyways, yay for the dress at least!;)

    @Gizmo19: I agree, the pitching definitely sucks.

    Oh and I missed the word "thanks" on the congrats is what I meant to say:)  Funny, you're avatar didn't show up before, but now it did.  Knowing them they will come around but lose in the first round playoffs.  I'm so positive I know;)

    @Gizmo19: I would say you are just being realistic. They've had their chances other years, but I just don't see them even making it that far this year.  More $ should go towards pitching than anything else right now (but they always swap out a position player instead).  I tell FH every year "I quit being a Twins fan" because it is just so frustrating.  But end up watching them the next year.

    And the dress is beautiful too. Smile

    @Shyness76:  Agree 100% on all said.  FI usually is the more positive one of the two of us when they aren't doing well but he's even bi*ching about it now.  And they just lost again.  I just have to try not to get sucked in again here when they will more than likely win quite a few in a row, but alas I probably will.  We have season tickets too which makes it a little more frusterating.

    Whatever though, I have fun wedding stuff I can concentrate on instead:)

    Lol at how this turned into a discussion about Twins pitching.

    Why in the world did Gardy leave Scott Baker in yesterday? Yikes.

    I was so sad when we didn't get Cliff Lee.

    Oh you ladies are too funny! Have you all been to Target field yet? BEAUTIFUL!! I do agree we need some serious help. Plus WTF is with Mauer. I mean i know he's beautiful but he really needs to get it together. His batting average was under 3oo last week. Get real!

     

    @Gizmo19: The dress is gorgeous and I am sure you will look fantastic in it! Love the details on the back. So pretty!

    Haha, totally lol on the turn this post took:)  Let's talk more about my dress, totally kidding!

    Umm yeah agreed on Mauer, seriously wtf is wrong with him, did you see him in the All Star game?  I was very disturbed and embarassed for him.  I mean his is on my list and all;) and even planned to incorporate him/his jersey into the grooms cake but I seriously may have to omit that now if he keeps going like this!

    I hear you on Cliff Lee.  I just don't think this is the year at all for them it seems, even to win our division.

    I have been to Target Field a few times, it is nice!  May even sneek in an engagement pic in the gold glove, maybe.

    Anywho, want to see more pics of my dress, well why wouldn't you;)  These pics are actually from the girl I bought it from...
