Dress shopping - with flash

Leelee85, 21 June, 2015 at 11:41 Posted on Planning 0 8

Happy Sunday!

Yesterday me, my mum and my maid of honour hit the shops to find my dress.

I was quite anxious about dress shopping because a. I am 6ft tall and was worried all the dresses would be too short and b. I am very curvy. small waist bit boobs and bum.

My MoH sorted out all the appointments and we made a real day of it. Before we went I made a list of all the dresses i liked from each shops website.

Shop one was Mia Sposa in Farringdon, London. On arrival the staff were friendly and asked if this was my first time. It was. They suggested I just pick one in each shape, even if I knew it wasnt the one, to see if it would suit me.

I was so scared I wasnt going to fit in any dresses as my butt is a size 18.

We tried on the first one and I dont even remember it, it looked nice, but it wasnt for me. Too much boob.

The second dress was a fit and flare and it looked loooooooooooovely. the shape suited me, it flattered me. I didnt like the actual dress though, but I knew this was a shape for me.

The third dress was a ball gown. In my head I secretly wanted a ball gown and this did not disappoint. It wasnt too big in the skirt but it made my waist look teeny and i was very impressed.

Then I noticed my MoH had put another dress in the changing room. I looked at the label and realised it was one of the dresses from my list.

The David Tutera Seraphina. I tried it on and loved it. I thought this was the one.

    The dresses are both beautiful- the one that is an actual photo is very like mine so I am a little biased!

    I'm so pleased you managed to find your dress!

    I too can recommend Morgan Davies, but I went to the one in Hitchin. Their customer care was amazing; at my second visit I realised that they had made notes about EVERYTHING the assistant and I had discussed and all of the dresses I had tried on. It meant I didn't have to explain everything all over again. Nothing was too much trouble for them,
