I only dress shopped for 4 days (one time for fun before I was really looking, two days of kinda hell with the whole family, and the last day where I went on a whim and found it!)
I had picked 2 dresses that I liked, one that was 500 (simple ballgown Mori Lee 4524) and one that was 1300 (ruffles everywhere and the color I liked Allure 8895). Both were pretty but I was having so much confusion and literal mental pain. Just for fun I went to a completely different shop in a not so great part of town that has pre owned and new dresses just to see what was there. My friend actually picked it out and it worked out really well. It has alot of the features of the two other dresses that I liked but at the best price point ever (299), in my size ( I took it home 30 mins after trying on), and brand new. I plan on wearing 2 different sashes/belts with it but haven’t purchased yet. So here she is, Watters Maria 🙂 (excuse my jerk face smile)

It’s beautiful! And what a steal! I like the idea of wearing two different colored sashes too!

SO PRETTY!! I would NOT wwear any sash with this dress – it already has a lot going on (it works perfectly just the way it is) and flatters your figure (shows off your small waist and curves) – adding a sash will only take away NOT add – leave it as is!!

@megabrooke: I think I’m going to do sparkles and ivory for the ceremony and black floral edgy for reception. I’m excited to find my sashes!

@soy: Although I agree that the dress is enough on it’s own, it was supposed to have a belt regardless and I really like the idea of doing one. If I can’t find one that compliments it though I will leave it as is 🙂

Awesome deal! I really like the ruffled bottom, how it’s larger simple ruffles. I love the idea of two belts as well 😀
