    @Kant: OMG I don't know why that one is showing up so huge. I resized it and in the post preview box it looks correct, but I guess the size change didn't go through. Sorry!!

    Edit: LOL ok now it's the right size. It must have just taken a while to go through. Weird.

    My first runner up was Maggie Sottero. Either Ambrosia or Sabelle. The first first time was such a blur. I wasn't plan on looking for the dress but we were walking by the bridal store and FI wanted me to try on some so that time, doesn't count (for me).

    The first dress I put on when I was serious dress shopping was Pronovias Silibas

    I don't have pictures of me in all of them, but here they are:

    First Dress: Pronovias Alison Not a bad first start, but I looked a little too much like a flamenco dancer.

    Post the first dress you ever tried, the runner up dress, and THE dress! :  wedding dress d1170 essence of australia Alison

    Runner-Up: Essence of Australia D1170  Very pretty dress and a VERY close runner-up!

    Post the first dress you ever tried, the runner up dress, and THE dress! :  wedding dress d1170 essence of australia Essence

    The ONE: Enzoani Finley I just kept thinking about her when I tried on all the other dresses.  Went back to try her on immediately after trying on the Essence of Australia and I just couldn't stop looking in the mirror and at the back of her!  My entourage said they could tell I like her so much more than the other one.  Here she is on the day I decided.  Not the best pic but my actual dress should get here any day!  I also ordered a more "glitzy" belt that I might end up wearing instead of the black one.

    First dress....
    It was actually a dress by a private label so I have no image.. but similar to this...

    Post the first dress you ever tried, the runner up dress, and THE dress! :  wedding dress d1170 essence of australia 8445FM

    I did try on a few similar to that but I'm a bigger girl (about a size 12) and I felt like I was hiding behind the very poufy ballgowns.

    My runner up was this beauty:
    Post the first dress you ever tried, the runner up dress, and THE dress! :  wedding dress d1170 essence of australia Kirstie Maggie Sottero 2011 Collection
    But I just felt it didn't have enough "Ooomph" for me...

    And the winner!

    Post the first dress you ever tried, the runner up dress, and THE dress! :  wedding dress d1170 essence of australia Mori Lee 1601
    The model looks absolutely ridiculous in it, but it looks amazing on... not so much pouf on it in real life!  More A-line than ridiculous ballgown. Also I'm getting rid of the dreadful white satin ribbon.. ugh.
