Loved the Dress/Hated the Photos

Also, you mentioned that the stores that had the styles that you prefer did not have them in your size, but they did have other gowns in your size. As a former bridal gown consultant, don't shy away from dresses because they are not what you originally envisioned. We had a lot of plus sized brides, that wouldn't take this advice from me until they were nearly in tears after trying on dozens of dresses. Then I would ask, "are you ready to try on the dress I have in mind for you, now?". It sealed the deal 80% of the time, since I knew in my mind what would look great on them.

You are probably right...this weekend I actually tried on a few A-line dresses...they didn't work for me...but I am expanding my search.

Thanks Julie and Stela...for the advice. BTW JUlie...what a cutie-pie you have there!! So cute!!

Try not to stress...brides buy dresses less than a month from their wedding......I think they just say 6 months to be safe....don't worry you will find something you love!!
