Accidental dress shopping with flash! (oops)

lovelaurajane, 19 August, 2014 at 19:04 Posted on Planning 0 20

Today was SOOOOO fun so I had to share with people who "get it"!

I'm really busy at the moment with work so I'm not supposed to be going shopping till the end of the month, but today had to take my daughter off to get fitted for a bridesmaid dress for my Dad's wedding - and there spotted a few gorgeous dresses. They said I could try a few one, so I had to oblige Smiley winking hehe!

I tried on 6 and this one was totally NOT what I was looking for, but I felt amazing in it - it even made me cry! (i have no idea why, but it did!). I haven't got a single satin dress on my Pinterest board, but of all the ones I tried on this was the one that I didn't want to take off. I'm even half a stone over my usual weight and I didn't feel flabby in it

It is by Enzoani and massively under budget, so I couldn't be more pleased... I'm still going dress shopping on the 30th as there's a pink Vera Wang one I'm desperate to try on! But I'm really pleased I found something today that I love - and I have a benchmark at least Smiley smile

Excuse the first pic, i cut my head off because i looked like a complete moron in that particular pic!

    Thank you Smiley smile It FELT amazing, which suprised me given it kinda shows all the lumps and bumps I usually try and hide!

    Yes.. definitely have got a benchmark now, but I feel like I still need to go and try on a tonne more just to be sure - surely it can't be THIS easy? 1 half hour appointment?!

    That dress is beautiful! I've seen it before and my opinion hasn't changed.

    I promise That my biased opinion isn't swaying my thoughts either.... fate always has a way of finding you. Xxx

    Oh it absolutely CAN be that easy.

    I found my first wedding dress in 1 appointment and like you, it wasn't one I intended to try. The store assistant suggested it, I tried it, loved it and bought it there and then! Never regretted that decision and still love the dress now.


    Do continue with your plans though and try on the Vera Wang, you might love that one even more!

    Gorgeous! The back is lovely. Definitely go and try on a load more; I really regret getting so stressed about finding 'the one' instead of just trying on every single dress, even the ones I didn't like as when else do you get a chance like that?

    It's gorgeous! Keep with your original plan to shopping later in the month, but don't be surprised if you come back to this one!

    Love the back... satin like this looks very classy and I love draped cowl backs/necks although personally I think it would be even cuter without the sparkly bit, just simple and elegant

    wish I could pull of a low back

    good luck with your search
