Dress shopping...

    Is it "the dress" if you can't stop thinking about it? If you can't stop smiling when you think about it? If you wish you could have a job where you could wear it all day long?
    I think I may have found it. "The dress!"
    I went wedding dress shopping for the first time yesterday after work with my mom and two maid of honours, Danielle and Allison. We went to Bliss Bridal in Whitby. Cynthia was very helpful.
    I think I tried on 8 or 9 dresses. Most of which were Mikaella Bridal or Paloma Blanca dresses. Here are a few pictures taken by my mother, the amateur photographer :)

Dress_top_OK
This is a top of a dress I liked. I loved the sweetheart neckline.  The bottom of the dress was more of a mermaid style.  It didn't fit me. Far too tight for my hips.
Dress_straps_NICE
This is the very first dress I tried on.  I really liked it. I love the flower detail.
Dress_retro_NICE
This is more of a retro style dress. Very plain.  I like plain for the most part. I'm not into the bling. If you see in the mirror behind me the detail in the back of the dress is beautiful. I think spanx would have to be worn.  Very slim fitting.

And...I would show you "the dress" but I can't. If I don't end up buying it, I'll post the picture... but I'm just waiting a bit to decide. There were two other dresses by Mikaella I wanted to try on that Bliss Bridal didn't have in stock yet. I would like to try on those two before I make up my mind.  But, I think my mind is pretty much set on the Paloma Blanca dress.

I keep picturing Scott's face when he sees it.  And I know he'll love it!

Hi! I enjoyed reading your post. I’ve been looking around for such material as I’m starting my blog on flower girl dresses. I’ll be waiting for the updates.

It was nice reading your post. I needed to know such kind of information to update myself. I work in my friend’s boutique of flower girl dresses and also help in the online promotion.
