Thank You! )) My FI's mom was with me when I purchased the dress to the left.. So I know if she thought it was too much she would have said so.. And the stepmom is a teacher.. So maybe she is more on the conservative side.. Or maybe I am just reading to much into small comments. :-/ I just felt amazing in the mermaid.. I was strutten my stuff down the runway.. bahahahaha.. but my mom and bridesmaid told me I was glowing in the Allure.. I do feel the Allure is the same dress though, and the one I actually purchased, I can bling it up with a cute bracelet and necklace. I know what you mean.. I too am worried about buying a second dress and worrying about selling the other.. Seems like a very stressfull change.. Hmm.. decisions... decisions.. But I do agree that once we get our dresses altered and the right shoes and jewelry, we will feel amazing and confident in our decisions.. I think I am also just super sad about the dress adventure being over. ( I have resorted to buying a ton of bridesmaid dresses off ebay. I'm hoping to wear just dresses during our destination.
