Cathy's Attire....the dress was meant to be...
Ok. I KNEW what I did NOT want. The full beaded top with the poofy, pickup skirt. I did not want the train that left people wondering "when is this going to end?" I was hesitant about Davids Bridal, but knew I was going to use them for bridesmaids (everyone living in different locations made it the right choice) After going to a store that sold Maggie Sottero and Lazaro gowns...and wasn't really impressed with any of them...I went to the Casablanca store in town and wasn't impressed.
In the meantime, we set an appointment at Davids (closest one is an hour away) to look at bridesmaid dresses with one of my bridesmaids, and my mother made me pick out some dresses online to try on. I found this beauty and GASPED. I have always loved dresses that had bows under the bust and tied in the front (I've always been obsessed with bows). I loved how the neckline wasn't a true sweetheart but wasn't straight across. I wrote down a few more styles, but wrote down this style and put a star next to it. Before trying on BM dresses, the consultant wanted me in a dress. So i showed her my list. She looked at this dress style number and said "We have 1 left in stock, its discontinued and I cannot get anymore, at all, in any size. She grabbed it and it happen to be my size and fit PERFECTLY. I tried it on first and loved it. So did my mom and bridesmaid (who came along to look with me). I tried on 3 other dresses but knew that it was my dress. We took my dress home that day :)
