I've bought THE dress ****FLASH*****

sarahb3426, 13 February, 2011 at 21:37 Posted on Planning 0 21

I had a really good 'wedding' weekend, on Friday I went shopping with my Mum and was un-decided between 2 dresses, a Mori-Lee one and a Benjamin Roberts - both dresses were really nice but very different. Then on Saturday I went dress shopping with my BM and step-mum, In the 2nd shop we went to I found the same Mori-Lee one I tried on with my Mum, so tried it on again, they both loved it, but this time, although I liked the dress I kept tugging at it to make it a bit thinner at the bottom, as the dress wasm't too fitted but quite flared out at the bottom and I wasn't sure on the colour, it was Ivory but a Dark Ivory. We carried on shopping, and eventually came to our last shop, went in and I said I wasn't sure about this dress as I couldn't find anything I liked, but we went through the rails and I picked out a couple to try on.

While I was speaking with the lady I was telling her about the Benjamin Roboerts one I tried on yday, and she said they did stock some Benjamin Roberts but not all and asked me to describe what the dress looked like, I did and she said they had something similar, it wasn't a Benjamin Roberts though so she went to get it. When she brought it into the changing room, I instantly recongined it as the Benjamin Roberts dress I tried on yday but the lady said this one was a Maggie Sottero "Brianna", it was THE same dress but with very slight difference (bit more bling on the sides and no bling on the back), I felt really happy to see it again, tried it on and loved it! I tried this dress on with shoes and a veil and tirara, and stood quiet happily wearing it while chatting, my BM said this was the 1st dress I had stood long enough in to chat, as with all the others I'd tried on and took off straight away or stood there picking at it. It was THE ONE!!!!!

I got measured for the dress, the lady bought us a glass of champgne up to celebrate finding The One and took my details, when I went to put a deposit on, my step mum said not to as my Dad had said they are buying me the dress!! Squeeel!!!! they are nowing paying for my dress, underskirt, veil and tiara!!! One very happy bunny! (also got a bargin for the underskirt I think as I got it for £35 to buy!!!).

Here's the bit you have all been waiting for - The Flash!!!!



Although I love the dress and think it is The one, I have now been having funny feelings about it - but i think it's just the thought that I now actually have my dress!!!! On further inspection of these pics though i need to loose my tummy (which i can see now but didnt on the day) and tone my back and arms up!

Enjoy the flash (will have to take it off soon!!) x

    That looks absolutely perfect ! I know how you feel with those doubts as looking at the photo actually removes that it's the one feeling because it isn't and doesn't look the same as it does in the flesh. Stop looking at the photo and keep remembering the feeling . you look wonderful !

    Yay, didnt realise i had a dress twin ? It really is a lovely dress and when I put the veil on it, loved the look even more!!!

    Am not having dress wobbles as such as ive only just bought it at the weekend, but have niggling little doubts in my mind - but think that is due to spending so much money on 1 dress that am wanting to make sure i've made the right choice - but when I put it on, it just felt so right and i loved it!
