first dress fitting

[aimee!]

well i went on my very first fitting today [at davids bridal]- and i'm thinking it was a good idea to start 1.5 years before the wedding... i didn't have much luck. there were 2 that stood out as my favorites and i'll see if i can figure out how to include pics in this post.

 

the pictures are pretty terrible, and you can see that i was not really focusing on having them taken anyway. a flash may have helped, but oh well- we still have LOTS of dress shopping to do.

 

i'm also still trying to decide if i'm going to wear shoes, flip flops, wedge flip flops, or barefoot sandals... ahhh

 

DRESS 1

 

 

 

DRESS 2

my family liked dress #1 the best, but i'm a little hesitant about the bow on the front- does it make it look a little silly? i can't decide how i feel about it quite yet. i will also post the davids bridal links so you can see some quality pics of the gowns.

I like dress #1 and I think the bow looks fine, but you have plenty of time to keep dress shopping. Trust me, you will KNOW when it's the right dress!

I agree with Tami, you will totally know when you find the right dress. I actually went by myself cause I got sick of feeling pressured to buy one my sisters liked.

I will with hold my 2 cents on which dress I like ( #1)

i like #1 as well, but with a 1.5 years you have plenty of time to find THE ONE! Happy hunting!!

I like dress #2 better, I don't like the way the lace splits on dress #1

[CourtneyV]

I like dress #1 as well, but I also agree that you'll know when you find your dress.

 

I started dress shopping really early as well, the only problem was that once I finally found mine, I had to force myself NOT too look at other dresses so I wouldn't fall in love with any others!

[DanielleNDerek]

I like dress #1 but if you don't feel comfortable with the bow than you should keep looking. I'm sure you can find something similar without the bow.

Have fun dress shopping! I prefer #1 over #2!

I love dress #2! I almost got that dress and have had several monents when I wish I had gotten that dress. It is a very flattering dress, and in my opinion it looks much more expensive than it is. I was impressed by the quality of that one for the price.
