Ok so I think i found THE dress. Not what i originally planned on but i really like it. It’s form fitting, and i originally planned on some thing a line. Trying it on took some imagination because the sample was errr…tight(I’m tall but not a petite girl by any means). Thus, it pulled unattractivly in the gut area(I had spanx on, but still) I’m hoping when it’s the proper size it won’t pull so hidiously accross my stomach but i’m really not sure. Any one else have a similar experience? Was your actuall dress in the proper size ok? Did you add extra shape wear? Any advice at all?

@meanmug88: I tried on the dress I loved in a size too small and it squeezed me half to death! LOL And worst of all tucked way in under my behind. Ugh. I still loved it – and just got it in a few days ago. It fits beautifully and looks more gorgeous than I ever thought. Do you have photos? If you love the dress, don’t worry how it was too small – they will order the right size and the alterations will make it perfect!

@meanmug88: That is a beautiful dress!!! Wow!! It suits you perfectly! They will order the size based on your largest measurement and take in the rest. You can decide how fitted you want the dress to be when you do the final fittings.

My advice: buy it and alter it to be perfect. It’s beautiful 🙂

Thanks 🙂 It’s just so hard to tell if i really like it in a sample that is 2 sizes too small. I think I was thrown for a loop when this dress wasn’t a style I thought I could wear as well. Most of the dresses I scouted out online before hand just didn’t really get the job done. I have to go back next sunday anyway since THE dress I went to this place particularly for was out being cleaned :(.
