Dress Dilema AGAIN

Stupid shop people - that's hardly going to help you make a decision. Maybe you could call up and pretend to be someone else and ask if they stock that particular dress and if they say no, ask if they have any other similar dresses? That might help clarify things.

I think the dress is lovely (although I'm not a fan of the 80s action movie hair on the model.. ? ) and not at all like a nightie. You could have some really beautiful accessories with a dress like that as well. The train is really unusual - very pretty!

Nooo! I think it is super sexy! The detail under the bust is lovely.

Looks lovely and no it doesnt look like a nighty!!

Er....WOW...that is stunning!!

A nighty...are we looking at the same dress!!!???

Very nice, the detailing is beautiful, nothing like a nighty at all !

Its gorgeous...only wish i had the figure to get away with that!! beautiful!

The dress is very slinky, elegant & sexy. Do you think this might be THE ONE?

Oh shoegal im so glad you had found 1. i think i finally found my 1 this week to after a long search, maybe not quite as long as you, but almost, and i was wondering if you had, i think its lovely. not like a nighty at all. you caould have some amazing accessories with that i think.

was there any other contendors or this this the only 1 that stood out to you?

That dress is gorgeous, however I'm not sure you'd be able to wear a bra with it, might have to get some cups sewn in. If I had the figure and of course another wedding, i'd wear that! bloody lovely.

ETA I am however intrigued, no.... perturbed that the dress can come in a size, 2!!!! wtf!!???

I feel really happy about it and i felt compfortable and confident in it and it didnt make me feel silly like alot of the dresses have.

Yeah teehee you def cant wear a bra with it but the lady in the shop suggested getting some cups sewn in aswel so thats what ill do - dont want saggers on my wedding day lol!!

Futuremrsclarke - what is the dress you have found like?

Im not sure if its THE ONE, i didnt have the gushing crying moment or anything but this is definatly a very serious contender, if i had to buy a dress today this would be the one.

Its the best i have tried on so far.....im going to go back next week with my friend and she what she thinks - ill try and sneak a pic but doubt ill be able to - there were really strict about giving out details of the dress and nearly didnt even tell me the sodding designer = so silly!!

Ok....this is what i did when trying on dresses..... in one shop, once i had tried them on, the lady returned them to the rail. So i made sure I tried on lots. My bridesmaid was sitting next to the rail and once the lady had popped back in with me, my bridesmaid would go to the label and write down as much information as she could on paper, with a drawing....... and some of my comments.....which helped. i could then google the info my bm had stolen. (evil cackle)

Good idea Nona! Shoegal, I love the dress. Not at all like a nightie.

Im looking at maggie sotttero cambria, with the bolero, there is a photo on 1 of my other posts, i wont post 1 on this thread cos i dont want to steal your limelight.

Good idea teehee = when i go back that will be my action plan!

FMC - just saw the pic on your other post - amazing dress.

....ahh, thats such a gorgeous dress!! Especially love the train in the back, think its really pretty....?

Nighty? What are you on about? I'm not a huge fan of some floaty slinky type dresses and some of them do look like nighties. But not ths one.......this just looks slinky and elegant and it's lovely ?

What do you wear to go to bed? ?

Its lovely Shoegal. So pleased you've found something you like at last.

Is anyone else finding dress shopping a real struggle?

I went to a dress shop today and fell in love with a romantica dress - my best friend loved it, my mom loved it AND it was in the sale and in my size....

...so I bought it!

Now looking at the photos (i left the dress as the shop) I'm not so sure. I'm thinking maybe I made a bit of a snap decision and am panicing a bit!

Hi

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

Love it love it love it.

Great advice from Teehee, I did the same thing because I couldnt find my dress online either (although mine looked completly different on the model than me)

xx

Love the back of the dress and you'd soooo need a backdrop necklace with it! Glad you have found something you like. Keep us posted.

Aw that's beautiful Shoegal! So happy for you you've found a dress you really like!

If it helps I didn't have the everyone crying 'ohmygodthisistheone' moment. I just tried on a dress, everyone agreed it was amazing, the best I'd tried on and that was that! When I went back to the shop to try on 'my one' I felt amazing, but again no-one cried. It was strange, normally my family are very emotional!

Hi Shoegal

Just had to say, a real wow show stopping dress not at all like a nighty!! It's truly stunning and the train and under bust detail is beautiful. Next time you go to try it on ask your bm/mum to take a crafty video with a mobile, keeping the mobile out of site but still managing to record from behind an arm etc. My daughter managed to get a short clip of a dress I tryed on as the shop didn't allow pics until after a dress had been choosen and deposit paid. ?

WSS - I just wish I had the figure to wear a dress like that!

That's a really lovely dress and not at all like a nighty! I would need all manner of things strapping me in underneath a dress like that - very jealous!!

I think the dress is stunning - nothing like a nighty. Its v sexy - your OH will be blown away if you go for that one!!!!

Teehee - like your way of thinking - v clever!!!

Arh thanks everyone, you have made me like it more!!

Its nice to have someone elses opionion other than my mum.

I think i am thinking people will think its like a nighty because noone is expecting me to pick something like this - i think everyone is expecting me to pick a strapless corsetted dress with a big skirt.....which is what i thought i want but just didnt look right on me no matter how many i tried.

Ooooo PGems i love the idea of a back necklace thingy - might be calling upon you for some help with something like.

Next time i go there i am going to get my mum to do the hidden camera duties!!

wow your on weddding rampage this weekend.

dress is stunnning, I love it not a nightie in sight. I know what you mean about it not being what you or others expect, thats how I feel about my dress a bit at the mo, also I tried on one very similar to that and loved it but sadly it didn't love me.

If your still thinking about it next week it is a good sign, I didn't have a teary gushing moment with my dress I think some people just don't.

Keep us updated with your decisions

It is a stunning dress but IMHO I'm not really sold on the back of it, maybe it's just me but it looks like a panel from another dress has just been sewn into it but I really love the front detail so I have to say I am torn between liking it and not liking it ☹️

I love that dress!! It's so classy and elegant! Love it! ?

Shoe gal Its beautiful especially the train and the dtailing under the bust.

Louisiannaday I think it sounds like fate and if everyone loved it try not to have any doubts.

if you felt comfortable and confident in it, then it probably will end up being your dress. i never had a This Is The One moment, but went through the same logical process that you have gone through - felt confident, comfortable etc.

i got cups sewn into mine cos i couldn't wear a bra, worked a treat (there is proof - pictures of H looking down my cleavage whilst we were signing the register!)

and there is NOTHING nightie about it.

Wow SG, what a find!! Seriously, I would 100% tell you if I thought it had a nighty-vibe about it, as I know others would, and it completely hasn't. I honestly think the dress is absolutely stunning, in fact probably one of the nicest ones I've seen on here!

I don't think it matters if you don't get a "It's The One" moment, as lots of Hitchers have said they didn't either. I wouldn't say mine was even that kind of experience as I was so not expecting to like it when I put it on, I sort of had to get my head round that before I realised I absolutely loved it if that makes sense.

Oooh it all sounds pretty positive!! Keep us updated, would love to see a pic of you in it! ?
