I had been looking online at dresses for months-learning designers, finding out styles I liked, etc. Dress shopping for me has always been a nightmare! Never finding the perfect dress for whatever occasion it might be then finding one and still being uncomfortable in it. So when I called and made this appointment I was already extremely nervous! Than a friend told me about the ""horrible reviews"" on the internet and I almost cancelled my appointment. If it weren't for my mothers excitment over dress shopping for her daughter's wedding, I would have. When I entered the store I was greeted right away & told an attendent would be with me in a moment. When we were brought in the back I saw my ""dream dress"" & told the attendent that was the one wanted. When I put on the dress I thought , this was it, until I got infront of the mirror, it wasnt the ""one"". Already feeling disheartened, I tried on my mothers pick, similiar to the styles I liked. Again, no luck, until the attendant turned to me & showed me a gown that wasn't ANYTHING like the styles I liked. She said to me your wedding is in the summer, right? I though-gee you already forgot?! But she very nicely said, just try it on you might be surprised. Boy was I ever!!! When I saw myself infront of the mirror I couldn't believe that was me. Not only did I feel like a bride but a confident on at that! She knew not only what I would be comfortable in but what would make me look beautiful! What I thought was going to be a horrible experiece turned out to be the best dress shopping day ever! So,in that age old saying ""Never judge a book by its cover!"" I even found the veil & head piece to match & the whole time my attenendant never once made us feel like we were rushed! You see the store was supposed to close 2 hours after my appointment but stayed open till we were done! I had such a wonderful experience that I can't wait till my next appointment with my bridesmaids!!
