    Last week my mom saw an ad in her local paper for this teeny tiny bridal salon in her area that had dresses on sale 30-70% off... so she made an appointment "just for fun". I was not excited at all. 

    My first experience with wedding dress shopping was not the greatest & I left really discouraged. I couldn't find anything I liked. This time I went in with a different attitude & I said I'd try on every dress until I found one... and then I saw this:



    I fell so madly in love with this dress, but I thought this dress is all kind of wrong for my shape (thicker hips & small bust).... and then I tried it on. Va-va-va-voom! It makes me look like I have a chest & the slimmer shape on my hips looks way better than I ever imagined. Haha my sister said its a mullet wedding dress(thanks sis) It's simple & clean cut in the front & there's a long party in the back. 

    Oh & here's the best part: it was the floor model so I got this dress 60% off & no tax! I don't know what I'm more excited about... the dress or the price!

    I couldn't get married in this dress tomorrow b/c I need some upper body toning... It's a size smaller than I currently need. [Insert strength training, my trainer & lower carb diet]

    @Froyo: haha oh I can wait to see myself in it (again). I'm a bulging bride in this bad boy. I went to the gym this morning, but I'm thinking I'm gonna go for a run in a little bit. I want to wear it every day... and I can't yet. Sad. Maybe thats a good thing though lol

    and I hate it! Blah. It looks so much nicer in person- back fat & all lol. I still can't get over how I ended up with a dress thats completely the opposite of what I wanted to wear on my wedding day!

    Oh I like!  Just the perfect amount of bling on it.

    LOL about your sister tagging it the mullet dress.  I really like the train!  Love how it has  little pleats on it; it gives the train a bit of shape...it doesn't just look like pool of fabric on the floor.

    Definitely, and the great thing about the beautiful back is that when your saying your your vows, everyone can get a good look at all the detailing on the back of the dress! Genius. :)

    I have a dress somewhat like that, (but in silk and with a smooth train) and I thought the same thing about my shape...but man, in that dress...isn't it great when you find the one? =-)
