Here's the online picture of it...
It was scary, I rarely spend that kind of money and I had a sign a ton of dotted lines saying I wanted the dress. I think the more lines I signed the more scared I was. The dress was the first actual purchase of anything related to the wedding... scary!! Moving forward!!
I love the dress, I'm going to have it altered some, altered to be ankle length (although I may leave it longish in the back). It's so pretty! Now I just have to wait for months before I see it again.
I bought a size 10... grumble grumble... I am techincally the measurements of a size 8, but both my mother and the sales lady thought a 10 was a better idea and would need less alterations (although the final decision had to be mine, and I had to certify on a dotted line it was my decision). I'm kinda sad about that, having lost 55lbs in the last couple years, to still be a size 10 (especially with the body image issues I'd been having)... but my mom has and always will think I am fat, even if my jeans are a size 4 ("Oh, E, I fit in a size 4 now, they made pants bigger."-My mom)... I guess there's no pressure to lose weight this way... damn I hate feeling like a fat piece of meat.
I'm trying to keep my guy from seeing the dress, hopefully he'll like it on wedding day *dreamy sigh*. So far so good, although one night we were flipping through some camera pictures on our TV and we accidentally came to one of me in a wedding dress, not "the dress" but a dress, more than I wanted him to see... eh bien, the best laid plans of mice and men, right?
