    Ok fellow wedding bees.  I went dress shopping by myself this weekend not expecting to find anything I like.  This was the first dress I tried on and I fell in love.  When I went out on the podium everyone in the store went crazy over this dress.  I tried on 6 dresses after this and not one of them even compared.  Its unlike me to go to one dress shop and be happy.  Usually I have to go to several places to make sure that I am 100% satisfied when making a big purchase.  A big part of me is saying "save yourself the stress because this dress is amazing."  And then another part of me is saying "shouldn't I atleast see everything that is out there before making this decision."  Ok ladies I need your help.  Do you think I should continue on the wedding dress quest or do you think this dress is the one.  It is a Maggie Sottero Caleigha.  Sorry this is the best picture I have.  The dress is even more amazing and sparkly in person.  The strap around the neck is all sparkly crystals.  Its beautiful.

    i almost bought one of the first dresses i tried on, but glad i didn't!  i think you might be sad you didn't give yourself a longer time for that once in a lifetime quest.  try on as many styles as you can, it might solidify you want the dress even more!

    It's form fitting and looks great, but remember to keep your physique before the big day, as that dress DEFINITELY shows off your body!

    Girls , I have ordered this dress without trying it on or without even seeing it face to face! At the store where I ordered it , the new collection was not in stores yet ( I ordered it from Beograd, Serbia) so imagine the trust I had in this dress that I was able to say : THIS IS IT!

    Your pic was the first one I saw with an actual person wearing the dress and I must stay it looks stunning on you. I only tried on a few dresses and I knew that none of them was what I was looking . And If THE ONE happens to be the first dress you have tried or the one that pops out of a catalogue when you see it fro the first time , I say You go for it! and keep us posted..maybe put other pics with you , it will definetly help me !

    Good luck !

    It's gorgeous! Can you give us an update on what you decided to do?

    If it were me, I'd probably keep shopping around just for the fun of it, always knowing that I have a perfect dress to come back to if I don't find anything else. But then I think dress shopping is a ton of fun, so if you find it stressful then I'd say just quit! Buy this gorgeous dress and be done with it.  :)

    This is actually my dress also. It is gorgeous. I ordered it without trying it on. So I say, trust your instincts and stick with it! If you can imagine yourself getting married in it, then it's the "one". I love that the skirt looks much fuller than on the maggie sottero website.

    I love the way the dress fits you. It looks amazing on so I say go with it. You did say you tried on six other dresses so it's not like you completely stopped after the first dress. Whatever feels right is what you shoudl choose. Good Luck!

     I went shopping with my mom,sister, and mamaw, I was just planning on looking not buying! I ended up buying the first and  only dress I tried on..it's a second-hand dress and only cost $200 but it's so beautiful.My cousin got her dress from a dress shop and the beads and some threads were loose, but my dress is perfect except for a little dirt on the train. I would put a pic up but my FH gets on this computer and it's bad luck for him to see me in the dress before the wedding.My dress is just like my future hubby~love at first sight

    I think you look amazing in that dress! I didn't buy the first dress I tried on, but I did buy my dress at the very first store I went to. I had a little wedding dress panic afterwards, second guessing if I did the right thing and if I should have waited and gone to at least one more store, but in the end, I love my dress and can't wait to wear it! Congratulations on finding it!

    Not only do you look great, but you look so happy in the dress.  Nothing wrong with buying the first dress you tried on.
