I think everyone will always think what if but I think we must have chosen our dresses for a reason at first so just looking forward to seeing mine again now!<br /><br />My dress shopping took a while, prob was 2 months from i started looking then finally ordered it! I booked appointments at 9 different shops before I even started looking as I always knew I would want to try or look at every possible style to see what was out there. Think my mum was a bit freaked at 9 shops especially since we only went over 4 days! I loved every second of it and think I tried on 44/45 dresses altho I can honestly say out of all of them, I could only have bought 5! Since 2 of them were far too expensive and 2 just a bit too plain, i was left with my dress which I also have to admit is costing a fortune! Eeeek im just not thinking about it!Gaynor {Our Day by Design}https://www.blogger.com/profile/12605696789497309197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-50622327412650834892010-02-13T10:30:37.140-05:002010-02-13T10:30:37.140-05:00Heather the dress is so pretty.

Funny, I didn't think too much of my gown on the hanger either. <br /><br />Finding my dress was a long process...2 months, 7 salons, probably at least 30-40 gowns I tried on...and none of them were samples. Like you, I wasn't sure about mine at first...and I still look at other gowns on the market and think I would have liked them better. But there's always going to be something better around the corner...so try not to second guess yourself!Born to be Mrs. Beeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10186370322714278012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-31602685818850401622010-02-12T22:46:23.741-05:002010-02-12T22:46:23.741-05:00I so love satin gowns.

I felt exactly the same way when I was looking at the pics and comparing. At some point, and after being told over and over again by others, I decided that I had made my decision, bought the dress, and it was time to move on to worrying about other things. I have felt much better since then and have not doubted my decision again. Hope it helps.Chocolate Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11301400033914265735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-49284904638421150572010-02-12T13:00:29.669-05:002010-02-12T13:00:29.669-05:00Thanks, girls! :) Now that I’m seeing the pictures...Thanks, girls! :) Now that I’m seeing the pictures on here and comparing to other dresses, I’m having second thoughts again… Sigh.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13226523010102160874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-20551700299593420572010-02-12T13:00:08.460-05:002010-02-12T13:00:08.460-05:00I love it!

The first shop was an outlet shop, and my dress was found at David's. It was also "the last" and in a size that would work for me AND it was only $393.....that's with tax and bag! I looked online when i got home, and yes it was a close-out/clearance style. But I love my dress! YAY David's!Belinda Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13703220627049594562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-72667326798429449032010-02-12T12:41:19.432-05:002010-02-12T12:41:19.432-05:00Very pretty and the plastic gloves are a great tou...Very pretty and the plastic gloves are a great touch. I actually bought my dress at my very first bridal shop, I think it was the third one I tried on and it was on sale as well. When its the one, its the one!

After weeks of searching high and low online, I knew exactly what I was looking for and knew it was the right choice once I found it. I probably would have looked around more before buying it, but the dress shop offers 10% discounts to brides who buy a dress during their first appointment. I weighed the pro's and con's over lunch but ended up going right back to get it. I've seen lots of other dresses in blog land, but haven't regretted my choice!GMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416137629786778346noreply@blogger.com
