Hello Everly
I went to David's Bridal and I had an awesome experience. The lady that assisted me was a young girl and she asked me what did I want and I told her I wanted something inexpensive, nice, and elegant because my wedding was a destination wedding. She let me pick what I liked. After trying on the 2 dresses and I chose the 2nd dress, she told me she never like picking for a bride because what she like they may not like, but if I tried on the dresses I chose and didn't like them, thats when she would have pulled some of her choice. I thought that was a good pitch. I felt good all around about this dress and I was able to pray and ring the bell after I chose it.
I went with the chiffon gown with ruffle detail and lace. I am into the long trains so my train is pretty long. I am not looking for another dress this will be the one.

I also got a good deal on my dress. This is around the time for prom, so the bridal shop I went too was offering a sale on dresses. I couldn't beat the price. The alterations are gonna cost me more than I paid for the dress. I had to go up 2 sizes because of my shape, so they have to fit the dress to my figure. I wear a size 10 dress, but I had to go up to a size 14 because of my shape, which sucked.
I will be taking my wedding party to shop for their dresses on April 11th, so I can still try the dress on again, which will be after alterations, to show them and this time I will be taking more pictures, so I can post.
