| This dress is out of the competition |
But since my fiance' reads the blog I can't post pictures of the dresses!!!
I am ready to purchase the gown, but I still have a couple of questions/doubts. Let me explain and you can chime in with your opinions (which always help me see things from a different prospective).
1) My top favorite dress: I have only seen one selling around, new with tags, but at the original price they were selling it at the store. So no discounts, and the size might be too small for me: size 6. So if I buy this dress, I might have to lose a lot of weight in a month, and I should have bought it at the salon since it would cost me just the same. This dress seems appropriate for a beach wedding, since it's lightweight while it offers me some belly support (my weakness). I've tried this dress on at David's and loved it. $950
2) Dress number two is a good deal. Discounted by 50% and brand new with tags. The size is a 10, which is what I need, because it's big enough to be taken in as needed (my small butt - I used to have a big one, now it's gone), and should fit my big stomach (which I'm hoping to reduce some). This dress is heavily beaded, and maybe too heavy for the beach, but I do love it. The only con is that I never tried it on, but something similar, and it looked great on me. $500
3) Dress number three I've tried it on and it looked great. I've seen it online, size 10, but not at great discount, only like 15% off. It might be the most appropriate for the beach. But it's the simplest of the three. Yet it would end up costing more than dress number two, which is a much more elegant and valuable dress. $650
Help!!! What do I do???

I was torn between dress 1 and 2. My compromise, which is not necessarily a bad thing, is not exactly worthy of a rocket scientist. I ruled dress 1 out pretty quickly. The bride-to-be should not be worrying about dieting, a pain in the neck, before her big day. She's got more fun things to do. The size 10 gives you more flexibility and ease of mind.
I think dress 2 addresses your needs best. Unless attending a drag queen convention, a simple yet elegant dress makes a wonderful impression on all guests present.
You will be a radiant bride! Dammit, I want to see your wedding gown with you in it. And soon!

I did just glance through the "Image" section of the LA Times. There's an interesting looking vintage white dress. I think it's meant to be a wedding dress. A bit quirky, but the adventurous brides to be might take a look. I like it. (I read other sections, really, truly).

Yes, I see you've picked your dress. What Daisy said has merit. BUT, comfort is #1 for me, so I would go with #3. The main thing is you're choosing what will suit you best, and having fun. And, NO regrets!
