...........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!

    Did I not put that on my original thread? Yeah she said 'well I tell you what, if you start dieting now we'll book you an appointment for April and see what you fit into then'. Oh, and then she said 'if you like we can measure you now and see what difference you can make'

    Uh.... no thanks!

    Oh my god!!!!!! It's amazing how some of these places get away with it. I would actually have considered making a complaint except the comments came from the owner herself!!! Good job we found some good ones in the end.

    Beautiful dress!! Do you mind if I ask who it's by etc....I LOVE it!! Love the shape, the skirt, the colour....GORGE!!

    I love Maggie's Annalise and Brielle, just for the skirts. Your skirt is quite similar. But the Maggie ones are v expensive! How much was yours if you don't mind me asking?

    I can't believe how many ppl have had bad shopping experiences. The bitchy women pretending to well up sound hideous!!! I tend not to listen to the shop assistants, cos as someone else has said they say you look nice in everything! lol!

    Nice to hear there are lots of ladies similar size too. I'm (currently) an 18 top and 20 bottom. I'm dieting too...I thought about waiting to go dress shopping but I couldn't wait! Plus, most of the shops I've been to say I can "order" a dress now, then go to get measured after xmas....might be worth asking your shop if anyone else has similar plans?

    PS - I'm an Aug 2011 bride so I'll be around for photos :-)

    Phew, so glad so many people like it. I'm actually in love with it, lol. Of course I'm not as stick thin as the bloomin model but actually I liked the look of my waist better than hers, so there!!!! lol.

    No I don't mind you asking at all. It's Eternity D3071. I wasn't looking at price tags at all - I wanted to find THE dress and then see if I could afford it. Honestly girls this was an absolute bargain - £695!!!!!!! I didn't like to haggle the price on that one, lol.

    Thanks Allgold. I'm looking on the Eternity website now :-) You're right £695 is a bargain! The Maggie one I like is £1,095 which is do-able just alot!

    I bet it does look better on you! I know what you mean about the waist, I thought my waist/shape looked great when I tried similar dresses on....almost convinced myself to stop dieting ;-)

    Allgold I am sooooooo pleased to pop on and see that you've found 'THE' dress after your horrible experience the other week!

    And oh my gosh what a gorgeous dress you've chosen, it's beautiful!

    I'm a Sept 2011 bride so I'll be here to look at pics too...and no doubt ooh and aah and well up over them! yI cry at every wedding programme I watch at the moment..don't tell the bride, four weddings etc etc!

    You've also make me want to get on and look for my dress! Was going to wait until I'd shed some pounds but now I want to get out and find my dress hehe! Bet you'll be smiling for ages now you've found that one :-)
