Little Dress Shoppe of Horrors

Oh what a mess! Angela, Jeana, and I went dress shopping. I tried on a few wedding dress, and of course, rather than narrow the prospects down we added two to the list!
I had the girls try on a few dresses…okay like 20. It is really important for the dresses to not look like the typical bridesmaids dress. If I’m going to ask several friends to drop several hundred dollars on a dress I would like them to wear it more than once!

We found it! The perfect dress! It’s a lovely dress that met all of my specifications and it looks great on all body types. My heart is set and I tell all of my MOH’s that we have the dress we’ll order in one month.

“The dress is discontinued” said the lady across the counter. Back to square one!

Much to Angela’s chagrin, I put off dress shopping for several months. Every couple of weeks Angela reminded me, in no uncertain terms, that the wedding was fast approaching and we needed to get dresses ordered. “Yes, ma’am.”

Finding a dress to meet my high expectations was no easy feat. I had a long list of specifications that must be met. Hours were spent scouring the internet looking for dresses that would fit the bill…both literally and figuratively.

Angela and I went to a local dress shop to find this illusive dress. “Maybe, no way, definite maybe, NO!, yes, I like that, who would design a dress like THAT?, Oh that’s nice, ew, eh, I’m not showing you this one!” And then, there is was, the dress! “Oh, it’s perfect!” The dress that met all of my specifications and it comes in the perfect color. I am very excited to have “adventure” behind me!
