...And let me tell you- it didn't take long!  

I went out on Sunday for the first time and found a great dress but wasn't ready to buy. Today, my mom and I had an appointment at another large dress boutique.  I figured I'd try on a bunch and leave with some more ideas.  But instead I left with my gown purchased!!!!!!! As soon as I tried it on and saw myself in the mirror it was like WHAM!  This is it.  Then my adorable mom burst into tears and I knew it was the one.  I didn't want to take it off... the longer I kept it on, the more my heart pounded with luuuuurve.  Laughing  It was the sample and fit so well, we decided to get it (some minor alterations will be needed).  So I left to change back into my clothes and came out to see my mom had paid for half of it.  Stinker.  I told her I wanted to pay for it.  :)  

I'm so happy with this dress.  We're getting married at a winery so I was looking for something simple and elegant.  This is absolutely perfect and it looks great!  Here it is!!

gorgeous!  How did you find the Mikealla dresses fit?  True to size, or did you have to order up?

Thank you!!!  I'm thrilled.  :)

 

KikiD- I'm an 8/10 jean and a 6/8 top.  The dress I bought is a 14.  Yes... a 14.  It will need some alterations in the boobie area... but only a teeny bit of the waist will need to be brought in (unless I lose those pesky 15 pounds I've been working on).  So, Mikaella's definitely run small.  :)

So beautiful!  I tried on that dress and I love love loved it!!  It is really beautiful on, and I'm the same size as you and I think it looks better on our size than the size 0 model!  I'm sure you look amazing in it!  Congrats on finding the perfect dress so quickly!!
