    Winnie Bride    September 10, 2011  

    After a horrible experience with my first dress of choice (I had actually purchased a different dress from another bridal shop and a month after I bought it they called to tell me that I couldn't have it in diamond white. After lots of phone calls and persistance I got my money back and took my business elsewhere! I am SOO glad I did)

    I purchased the Winnie Couture "Nali" dress from Wedding's 826 in Lincoln Park, Chicago. I worked with Suzi and she was wonderful! They actually had two dresses I found on the Winnie Couture website shipped in for me to try on! I fell in love with this one right away! The fabric is beautiful and the back of the dress is AMAZING! She even showed me what it would look like bustled! The other one I had shipped in was the Ivalynn... it was also BEAUTIFUL but it was a little too plain for my taste.

    I figured I would post some pictures of a REAL bride wearing it since it truly helps when searching to find your perfect dress! Good luck to all of you beautiful brides-to-be!!!

    @bestbuddies: Suprisingly no! I practiced walking AND sitting and it was not a problem at all!!!

    Thanks everyone for your super sweet comments! I am so unbelievably excited... finally! The first dress situation almost ruined the experience for me!!
