    yay!!! I went for the first time and found my dress!

    I have a wonderful experiance at Davids Bridal my lady was GREAT!! She didn't try to fit me into a small a$$ size lol the smallest size she put me in was about 3 sizes smaller but did a good job on pinning it back.

    The dress i tried on...was a size 18 but i loved it SOOO much! I dont have pics of me in it yet. I didn't have my camera but my friend took pictures so i will post once i get it.

    well i thought i found the dress i loved... but now im having second thoughts :(

    Here are some pictures this is the dress i picked. (Sorry this is a weird angle to take pics the person was sitting down)

    This is the dress i picked that i am unsure of it (Note it wasn't my size so it is really low & i was going to add straps to it.. my two bridesmaids and mom liked it and so did i but now that i think i felt more comfortable in the 2nd one)

    i found a dress!!!!!! :  wedding 1jpeg

     

    This is the one i think i want to get my #2 i felt comfortable in it but i thought it was too plain

    i found a dress!!!!!! :  wedding 2jpeg

     

    This was my 3rd choice not really a option for me

    I am going to try on the dress tonight in my size.. maybe i will have a change of heart :( if not i hope they can get mine rushed ordered or something

    Yes the 1st one is the one i picked... I think because it didn't fit me right.. it was really low and i really want something with straps :( I am going tonight to try it on in my size hopefully i fall back in love with it

    I tried on the first one and it was soooo comfy, but I didn't think it was appropriate for a formal ballroom wedding in November. But it is beautiful!!

    i love the 1st one! it is so pretty and you look great in it (even though the pic is a weird angle :D)

    honestly, i do NOT like the 3rd one :)

    the second one is nice but i LOVE the 1st one :)

    congrats! you look very pretty!

    I like the first one as well... if you are having thoughts about straps, ask the seamstress there to hold up some strap options... we did this for my daughters dress and it looked really nice and she did not spend all night "hoisting" the thing up all the time. Davids bridal had some nice choices.

    I like the first one best also, and i think it'll be fine for a ballroom. Hey, it's your wedding, where what feels good! I like the second one also, and not so much the third. Remember, you want to feel good in your dress, not think about it the whole time! :) good luck!

    i looove the first one.  you may second guess it 'cause of the angle.  i would back, try it on again, with my hair similar to what i think i want for my wedding day.  i love how flowy it looks.  it always accentuates your shape.

    good luck!

    Even though you said the 1st one wasn't the right size, I think it looks very flattering on you!  It's a beautiful dress and like you said, you could add straps.

    I tried in the 3rd one (didn't try it on with a sash) but I loved that one, it was so slimming and light.  If I would have gotten that one I would have had the straps taken off because they looked awful on me

    I Love the 3rd one. OR first. Second one doesn't flatter your figure as much

    The third one was almost my dress! It was the first one I really liked when I went looking. I don't like it with a sash - I think it detracts from the simplicity and slimming nature of the side-ruching.

    I think the first one looked best on you. It highlighted and gave you a substantial waistline, and the overall cut is really flattering. Try to try it on in your size - that was the deciding factor for me when I got mine!

    Oh, and just a side note, I am really impressed with how DB has stepped up their game with their dresses in larger sizes. Everyone used to rag on them but I had a fantastic experience.
