Le David’s Bridal
I visited the power house of marriage, David’s Bridal, this weekend with Mom, Nancy (Gavin’s Mom) and Colleen. I tried on about 10 dresses and got an education about what I do and don’t like on me.
Disclaimer: These are the posts where I can’t give away too much!
The silhouettes I originally liked are still my favorites on me, but seeing the tops of the dresses was educational. I found a couple styles I hadn’t considered that were very flattering, and also found that the style of my senior prom dress was spot on for a good-looking top on me. (Yes, the prom picture where we look like we’re getting married. I’m sure it’ll make more appearances as the date approaches, and I’ll post it here if I find time to scan it in.)
The funniest ones were those w/ the long trains and ballgown silhouettes. It was like an out of body experience. You look down to see fabric everywhere. Then you look behind you and it just keeps going for so long it looks like a gorgeous rug. You don’t even register or feel like you’re wearing that!
It was a fun time. Every time you come out of the dressing room you look pretty because it’s always a wedding dress! You can’t look bad in those big white puff balls.
The trouble is that I fit into everything just fine and have a figure that looks alright in whatever. It’s a curse and a blessing – no strong feelings against any of the dresses also meant nothing too strong toward any of them. They all started to look the same after awhile and I couldn’t even remember what I’d tried on and which I liked best. Obviously, I didn’t find anything that struck me, but that’s ok because it means I get to try on more!
I knew going in that I wouldn’t consider buying anything, so no disappointment there. The funny part is that the dress I thought was prettiest at the time ended up being only $99 because it’s on clearance since it’s from “last season.” They always look the same. How can you tell what’s out of season!?
