It was horrible and i never went back.<br /><br />Dont get discouraged. I wanted something different and fun with a cute short sleeve lace bolero as well. I ended up with a great dress from $599 and i am going to have a lace bolero made by our seamstress. You should look at the watters & watters website. My dress is their wtoo collection style eva. Cant wait to hear how it goes.Tina♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/12207407249844394239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900358172999203944.post-80831783018076320632009-04-27T17:59:00.000-07:002009-04-27T17:59:00.000-07:00I would think that David's Bridal is a bad place t...I would think that David's Bridal is a <I>bad</I> place to start! My friend went there after Alfred Angelo and didn't see anything remotely close to what she loved at Alfred Angelo. And DB kept relentlessly following up with phone calls until she finally told them that she was definitely not going to get a dress from them. The salesperson at DB didn't really seem to get a sense of what she was looking for at all. It kind of felt like a waste of time. =\<br /><br />hope that makes you feel better about your DB experience.Shannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18334762184097843380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900358172999203944.post-26554456441581137032009-04-27T13:39:00.000-07:002009-04-27T13:39:00.000-07:00I think y ou are built ,ike me and I seriously wen...I think y ou are built ,ike me and I seriously went dress shopping under the threat of death!

Thankfully, it seems you may have found Her (can't wait to see!!), but I totally do agree that dress #2 looks fab on you (hourglass figure I tell you!). I just know that it wouldn't work as well with a shrug or wrap - I think I remember you wanting one. <br /><br />Did you go back to David's? Where did you find Her? I am on the edge of my seat! ;)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009716261833425232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900358172999203944.post-26632540148736808072009-04-23T06:53:00.000-07:002009-04-23T06:53:00.000-07:00I am SO excited that you went!

I'm not sure their "consultants" have much vision, just a sales goal in mind. I agree the second dress looks best and I can't wait to see Part II!<br /><br />xoxoCydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723202743021861347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900358172999203944.post-32123110171875818982009-04-22T13:45:00.000-07:002009-04-22T13:45:00.000-07:00Ugh. David's Bridal is NOT FUN. It has nothing...Ugh. David's Bridal is NOT FUN. It has nothing to do with you or your body, I promise! I went there & tried on a few (awful) dresses while a (horrible) saleslady helped me like she really knew what I was looking for, and quickly left when everything looked horrible. The next place I went I found two...TWO dresses that I loved! The one I ended up getting was completely different than anything I'd imagined...strapless, white & w/ jewels all over it. I wanted an plain ivory dress with straps! :) So yes, keep trying, and you will look beautiful. Of course, I'm sure you already do, no need to buy a wedding dress to be gorgeous. ;)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02162258039138150713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900358172999203944.post-58983844508692472732009-04-22T10:53:00.000-07:002009-04-22T10:53:00.000-07:00The second from the left looked amazing!In fact yo...The second from the left looked amazing!In fact you have a awesome body! Seriously!!!! I totally had the same feelings with my arms and eventually found a dress that was so flattering and I loved it!<br /><br />You will TOTALLY find your dream dress but iit definitley takes time. Starting at David's bridal is always a good idea to get ideas and then you can go into other places and say " I want a strapless sweetheart neck..blahblahblah" cuz you will know more what you want!<br /><br />Good luck sending wonderful amazing dresses your way :)Just Believinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02209860792709070040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900358172999203944.post-79628606849150264482009-04-22T09:28:00.001-07:002009-04-22T09:28:00.001-07:00I know exactly how you feel.

I fit into nothing, everything was just horrible, and when I found my dress it felt so good. Then the seamstress ruined it and I was busting out of the top of my dress at the wedding. I went from LOVING weddings, to not wanting to think about them. That dress just wasn't right. You have time, and when you have the right one, you'll feel beautiful and happy and want to twirl. Be patient...it wont be that bad. :)Draya Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555487152643143603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900358172999203944.post-39518426701442437672009-04-22T09:28:00.000-07:002009-04-22T09:28:00.000-07:00You know what?

I was the opposite and didn't want to try on any strapless dresses but the two I liked best were both strapless.<br />I don't know how you feel about the kind of strapless that laces up the back, but I tried on one and the girl tied me in and seriously it made such a difference! Now that you've tried on some different silhouettes you probably have a more clear idea of what you want in a dress. So go somewhere else and tell them you want to try on only dresses that are that. ps. I cry every single time I go jean shopping without fail.Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02363757619601724418noreply@blogger.com
