    I went dress shopping for the first time and I'm pretty sure I found THE DRESS at none other then David's Bridal. I was pleasantly surprised by the customer service there and the dress I fell in love with was actually the floor manager's suggestion, and it was ALOT different then the dresses that I was originally looking at.

    I have an appointment to order the dress on the 28th. I'm worried it might be too soon to be ordering my dress when my wedding isn't until next October. However, I would hate to wait on ordering and then have it no longer be available when the time comes.

    Anyway, here are my pictures! Let me know what you think! The last picture of me is with my Sister (MOH) and friend (BM). They will most likely be wearing that style dress in a deep red.

    I think it looks perfect on you!  I was the same way with my DB dress as I ordered it a little over a year away, but in the end I loved the dress too much to take a risk and wait.  Beautiful choice in your wedding gown and the bridesmaid dresses!

    I love it.  I tried on what that was very similar and it was one of my top three.  The side rouching is very flattering.  Just remember 13 months is a long time and you have to stop looking at other dresses or you will get dress regret.

    It's beautiful on you! What collection is it? Is it this summer's collection? fall? or older? If it's a newer collection, you should be okay - I've looked at their website for the last six+ months and all the dresses I initially liked are still there, although some are now on sale or only available online. I'd give it a month or two and if you still love it, buy it.

    The important part though? Once you put down money on it, STOP looking at other dresses!

    @ Daydreamwanderer- This dress was in the fall collection catalog but I don't know how long the style (V9409) has actually been at the store.

    Thanks everyone for the advice. It's a tough choice to have to make, since I'm such an indecisive person.  I'm leaning more towards buying it sooner rather then later. I think that's a safe thing for me since I've never been overly into looking at gowns online or in catalogs. Still, if I do buy it this soon I'll still stay away from those things just to be safe. Also, because I am indecisive, I'm worried that if I wait, and try on even more dresses, the decision will be even harder and more drawn out.  I still have a few days before my next appointment so we will see what happens lol.

    OH! and thanks for the compliments on the dress as well.

    So pretty!  I am a sucker for those applique flowers on the bust...I think it adds an element of "romantic" that I really just love.  Congrats!

    I think it looks great on you! And it's not too early to order if you've found the one! I agree with previous posters though that you need to stop looking at dresses once you order yours. :)

    I went shopping about 18 months before my wedding. I thought I had found the perfect dress I decided to wait for the new fall selection to come out. When i went back to the store I wanted to try it back on, but they had sold the sample. I couldn't find it anywhere. I tried so many more on that day and couldn't find anything to compare. Just when I thought I was doomed and was just going to order it anyways, I found a different dress, very similar but newer style and I ended up loving it more than the first! So it doesn't hurt to wait and try on the next year styles. IMO!!Good luck!

    That dress is beautiful on you! I would still suggest looking at a couple more places before you commit. Also, I agree with those that have said that once you buy it, no more looking!

    P.S. That's the dress that I chose for my bridesmaids and we got it in the deep red color. They look lovely in them!
