Just a fun post<3
Here is the first dress I ever tried on

Here is my almost dress
and here is THE dress<3

Your turn!
@Tswife4ever: Haha I totally started a thread like this about 2 months ago. LOVE it!! :)
First dress: Adorae!
Runner-up: Kendra!
And...my dress! Anjolique 1020
oooo i'm excited to see this thread!! Haven't found THE dress yet so can't contribute yet!
First dress: Alfred Angelo 1153

Runner up dress: Pronovias Tirso

And my final pick!! Galina T3039


Edit: OMG, look at the weight I lost between that first dress which was in sept. 09 and the 2nd dress which was July '10. I didn't even realize I had lost weight until seeing that just now.
@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

Runner up:

Final choice:

@DarleneP: wow you look beautiful in the second dress
I wish I had a shillouette like that
@beatriz: Aw thanks! I liked it but I thought my FI would look at it weird because of the bottom. Plus the last dress was my all time favorite!!!
My first dress was my final dress, and there was no runner up dress!
Maggie Sottero Ambrosia :-D
I don't have pictures of me in them, but this is the first one I tried on:

It was massive! I looked like I was stuck in a cloud! The dress is Gia by Henry Roth
The runner up is Kendra by Henry Roth. Beautiful, beautiful dress but felt too formal my casual wedding.

And the winner - Harley by Henry Roth - love love love it!

This one is both the first one I tried on, and THE dress. There is no runner-up, as it was the only one I tried on.

My first dress and runner-up dress, Anne Barge La Fleur 161 (they wouldn't let us take pictures at this salon, so the designer pic will have to do):

And my actual dress, Enzoani Blue Davenport:

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.

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

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.

I don't have a picture of me in all of them. As for first dress I really cannot remember the first dress i put on!
But here's the runner up dress:
And my dress (first fitting):

Elsa, Modern Troussea - Blush (very pricey-3800.00)

Sydnie, Sophia Tolli - Pink (1400.00)

The Dress. Impressions Bridal, Blush (1800.00)
I always love to know how gown price out. It was a consideration for me, given how I had budgeted for a gown.
Here is my first ever, at a bridal show in April, just "for fun". I think it was an Ella?:
Here is the runner up, the Allure 2416:
And here's "the dress", Maggie Sottero Saratoga:

I wish I could contribute! I will enjoy until then. You ladies made beautiful choices.
Unfortunately, I don't have photos of me in the first or the runner up...but I'll play!
First dress that I tried on: Beautiful, but I looked like one giant left hip.

Runner up: Just didn't have quite enough wow factor to it for me. My mom and MOH agreed that it needed bling or a crazy shape or something haha!

And the winner!!

On me...keep in mind that the sample was gigantic on my petite frame...

The first dress I tried on... I wasn't a fan of the waist line but I loved the bottom.
It was a 3 way tie between these 2 below and my dress...
sometimes I still wish I would have gotten this one...
my dress
What a fun post idea!
First dree I tried on- Alfred Angelo ... but I don't remember the style #.

The runner-up dress (which I bought and then changed my mind about...) Alfred Angelo 2000:

And, the winner! Marisa 859. Loved it on my day!

First one: (I hate the way the model is wearing this dress. It is really so much more beautiful in person)

The runner up:

The dress:

Oh and the dress I bought first...yes, I'm a two dress bride...

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

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:
But I just felt it didn't have enough "Ooomph" for me...
And the winner!

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.
First dress: Watters Sydney

Runner up: Paloma Blanca

Winner, winner: after MANY, many, many dresses - I succumb to my secret desire to become a princess on my day! Amsale Melina

What a journey that was!
First, Runner up and Final choice (sorry pics are so big!)



First dress I tried on was a Jim Hjelm, which looked *hideous* on me, runner up (which I know is quite popular on this site) is Watters Austin, and the final---my girl Julianna.



One of the first:

The runner up... but good LORD what was I thinking? I'm so, so, so incredibly glad I didn't follow through with this. It does nothing for me!

Annnnd The Dress. She's the one. Still deciding between the sashes (or not at all)


My first dress I ever tried on.

Runner up...

And THE dress.....

So there is mine.I love it!!
You look great in all of them ..... but I'm in love ith the first dress do you know the designer and/or style name.
First dress... not for me or maybe it was the veil ;) 
Runner up ( First dress I bought)-

And My final Dress, I LOVED My Isadora!!!

This is such a fun thread! I haven't even tried on any yet, but I love it :)
This is my favorite thread :) I need to hunt down my first ever dress pic, then I'll contribute. Until then, keep em coming because I find this fascinating!
