Yep! I didn't post anything at all yesterday because it was a great day.Not only did I have my first job interview in 3 months! BUT! Afterwards me and one of my MOH's went to 3 bridal shops in my area. And I found the dress!
But let me start from the beginning. So my interview was downtown and it ended up being really short so me and Miss Horse, as I've called her in my blog, met at a bridal salon just down the road.
I had 3 dresses that I had to try on before I could make a decision.Celestine by Wtoo, Isadora by Wtoo, and RD1044 By Maggie Sottero's Destination Collection.
The first place we went to carries Wtoo but didn't have Isadora. But I tried on Celestine and some others. Nothing was working.
We went to a second store that has bad reviews but I just wanted to try on the Maggie. They didn't have it and weren't getting it until December.
On a whim we drove about 30 minutes north to a small town bridal salon that for some reason I thought didn't carry Maggie. Well they do. And they had RD 1044.
I put it on and pow! It's the dress! :) I didn't even need to try on Isadora anymore!
So they were having a $100 off special that ended Tuesday and I probably wouldn't be able to make it Tuesday so me and my mom drove up there today and I put half down on it. I'm really excited and relieved to know I finally have the dress.
It's everything I wanted: flowers, flowy, organza/chiffon like fabric, corset back, and something timeless that my future child could wear if she wanted to.
Ok enough yammering! Picture time!
And the back...
I'm too tall and have to get extra length and the strap wouldn't reach to snap. lol
Hehe I know!! lol! I love it!! I thought it was going to be too simple for my taste but it's perfect.
YAY!!! That is soooo exciting - what a beautiful dress!!!!!
tehehe thank you, thank you :) :)
LLOOOVVEE it =) so elegant & a little sassy with the shoulder strap =)
wow it is great :)
I love how simple yet distinct it is!
you rock it btw ;) ;) great great dress!!
I love it! It's so pretty! I just love hoe flowy it is!
You might also want to know you can see where the bra lines ends. Are you planning on wearing a slip or something as well?
Wow it looks great! I've seen it in magazines but its nice to see it on someone.
I also found my dress this weekend and its a Maggie dress too! I love the fit of Maggie dresses they are so comfortable. Congratulations on finding your dress.
Thank you guys so much for the compliments. Makes me so happy :) :)
Yeah they gave me a white bra to try it on with and then I have nude shapewear on below so yeah I'll probably wear a slip. :)
Seriously, all your compliments just give me warm fuzzy feelings. :)
I saw that dress in bride magazines and I LOVED it!! It looks beautiful on you!!
it's gorgeous!! i love my dress but i can totally see myself in that one too if i had known of its existence back in the day!
thank you all again for the compliments. :)
Let me ask all of you a question...
A couple weeks ago I found the most amazing veil thanks to a post on here. I love it soooo much!
The girls at the store yesterday, and my mother told me a veil wouldn't look good with the dress. I agree an average veil wouldn't look good, but I think this veil would look good...
What do you all think?
Oh my gosh I love it!!!! I saw pictures of that dress in so many magazines, etc, but I never saw it in the store...you look fantastic in it!!!
you look so cute on it!! Congrats!! the flowers on the shoulder are such a nice detail
Welcome to the world of Maggie Brides!! You wont regret your choice!
Lovely, lovely dress, very Michelle Obama in Jason Wu at the inauguration!
You guys are so sweet :) :) :)
You all are making me love my dress even more. :)
Aww, it's so pretty! I'm glad you found a fantastic dress. :) You look great.
That was my dream dress! I couldn't afford it, so I got a pretty, simpler one. But you look really beautiful in it! (trying not to be jealous, trying not to be jealous...)
Also, I think the veil would look great with it. It's simple enough that it won't take away from the flower details. Congrats on a great dress (and fantastic taste!
)!
Aaww Rocksrgm, believe me I really shouldn't have got it due to the price but the dress is more important to me then other little details so I couldn't walk away :) :)
Yeah I think that veil would look good because the scalloped edge has a petal look to it, so I think it would go good with the flowers. Plus I would wear it low so it wouldn't really cover them either.
Wow, what a beautiful dress!! :) I love how Grecian and romantic it is.
Love the dress- it's really unique and classy! I think that veil will look great!
You know what...it's my wedding...and it's a 30 dollar veil...not like a 200 dollar one. If I get it and it doesn't look good, I'm sure I can find someone who'll like it. No biggie.
I can't say no to the veil that I had more emotion over then the actual dress. (I really just thought I would never find a veil I liked and then I find one and it's super cheap so yeah I was definitely through the roof about it.) :)
Congrats! GREAT dress. I think the veil will look nice. If you were wanting to wear one, but aren't sure about the way it looks, maybe you can just wear it for the ceremony. :) It is YOUR day. Do whatever makes you happy!!!
Love the one-shoulder look, and the dress looks great on you! - congratulations!!!
I love the flower details- very unique! I think you should get the veil, at $30, that's a steal!
I love this dress. I also bought it, cant decide on shoes though. I really like these two but I am having trouble deciding between them, any ideas? also I cant decide whether or not to wear a flower, a head piece or a really simple veil?
Beautiful dress! And I love how the veil is cut. I think they'll look gorgeous together since they're both so flowy and light. Congrats! : )
Hi! Im new! Im considering buying this dress from preloved but havent found anywhere in the UK to try it on so am trying to get the best idea of how it looks on real people from pictures! Can I be *really* cheeky and ask you how tall you are and what dress size you wear - we look a similar size and the dress is so gorgeous on you that if we are the same I might just have to go for it : )
Best of luck for your day!
