...........MY DRESS??????? ?

Omg after my disasterous first shopping trip last week I went for round 2 today (those of you who read my previous post will know how last week went!). So I had 2 appointments today. Went to the first shop and tried a heap of dresses and got an idea of what I liked and didn't like. Saw some lovely ones and a couple that looked nice but didn't quite hit the spot. Deep down though I knew my dress was sat in the other shop. I've known this since tuesday when I popped in to see them. The shop is lovely, the staff are amazing, they had all the time in the world for me and made me feel really special.

So got to the 2nd shop and I tried a load on and loved them ALL but I found 2 that I fell in love with and made my decision. This is my dress........



I can't wait for it to come in and I can put it on (in a size that fits, lol). And to think that I actually wasn't going to try it on cos I thought I'd didn't stand a chance of getting into the stock size!!

Come on then.... opinions please!

    Amore Bridal in Hereford. They were soooooo amazing, I can't speak highly enough of them. It was like they were there with me, enjoying it with me, rather than there to sell me a dress (know what I mean???). You were so right. The shop makes such a difference xx

    Wow, that is totally stunning!!! I bet you are so pleased.

    It's so nice to see brides happy with the bridal boutiques shops too as there are so many around that are arrogant and put you off! x

    Yes that's exactly it. I had such a horrible time last week that today was so refreshing. I dealt with real people, not sales people. Plus I'm a bigger girl and was really worried about that but I got the dress on, albeit several sizes too small lol, and still felt a million dollars in it. I thought I'd find my dress and feel pressured to lose weight but it's quite the opposite and if I didn't lose any I'd still be happy with how I look on the day.

    ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! It's a little bit different with the skirt detail splitting (that isn't the right word but I hope you know what I mean) in the middle.

    Can't wait to see you in it. x

    That's just what I liked about it. I said I wanted something that wasn't something that everyone else had seen somewhere along the line but didn't want to make a huge statement either. I have a couple of photos but the dress I tried was 3 or 4 sizes smaller than I need so I don't want to flash those but when it comes in I'll go try it on, get some more and flash them then.

    May need your help with a headband now PG!!

    Claire you are my twin!!!!!! I'm an 18 bottom, 20 top, and the dress I tried was a 12 (hence no flash of me trying it on lol). Can't believe how amazing I felt. I have to keep looking at the photos on my phone, lol

    Gorgeous I love it, congrats Smiley smile

    Am a bigger girl myself and was amazed how the 'right' dress made me feel as I don't even wear dresses casually, never mind on the biggest day of my life, so I was dreading it really.

    Well I tried the thing that I used to try when mum bought me new shoes when I was little.... 'Can I wear it home?'. Nope, not allowed!

    Hmmm, the place over the bridge were awful. Did you see my last thread on this? She actually told me to go on a diet and she'd see me in April!!!! Ashton Rose were really good with me actually. They just didn't have THE dress.
