DRESS FOUND!

I'm so excited!

So this morning Miss Peggy and I went over to a store across town that was closing out of the bridal business. In return, they were offering 70% off all remaining bridal gowns in stock. Plus we figured we had nothing to lose. I'd already been to the boutique in Halifax (I showed you the pictures), and although I liked those dresses alot I didn't love one enough to buy.

Before I went to Halifax, Miss Peggy and I went to a local store and had a peek. I actually found myself getting so nauseated that we left and I didn't try anything on.

I also have a white dress downstairs that one of my favorite people gave me, saying I was more than welcome to it.

So either way there were lots of options, and no pressure.

But Miss Peggy called up this closing out store yesterday, got their hours and asked about sizes and what they had left. Turns out they had quite a few little sizes in stock, they hadn't been all that popular.

We didn't tell anyone we were going, just met there like a secret rendezvous.....

These are the other two dresses that I loved. Keep in mind they might not've fit well but there were always alterations - they were all on sale!

I really liked this one, and especially loved the straps! Generally I don't like that style neckline, but I think where it was higher, it was pretty. I also wasn't prepared to like a dress with color in it, but the shape of this one was really nice.
The downsides were that the color was the wrong color for the wedding, as we have them picked out now. It wasn't even really a color I would switch to, as I'm happy with the navy and silver we've decided on.
Also it was a whole lotta dress!


And here is the other dress I really liked..


This was the most photogenic of the gowns I believe. All the pictures of this one turned out nice (other than silly looks on my face!)


Another thing really nice about this one is the train actually came off the dress~!


However, it was still alot of dress. Peggy picked up on it first, I couldn't seem to get comfortable with my hands and all that poof. I am not against some poofiness but there was alot of dress here..

Plus, even though this one was really nice, the one I really fell in love with was on the mannequin when we walked in.

It was just so pretty.

and the minute I put it on, it felt like a princess wedding dress.

So I bought it.

Here it is!

You'll just have to wait and see for yourself!
