The Rejects.

Dress shopping was actually a lot more fun than I imagined. Us larger girls are definitely afraid of the Bridal Size. It’s really not as bad as it seems, though.

So here are the Rejects:

This dress was pretty and looked decent around the waist, but eh.



This does nothing for my figure.



HUGEST HIPS EVER. Yeah, no.



I’m going to my WEDDING, not Easter Brunch.



No. Just no.



I don’t know why I’m smiling. I must be thinking about something happy, because this dress..is not.



I actually really liked this dress. Until I saw the back. HELLO, Butt Back!



This one was nice, as well. Especially when I discovered the POCKETS!!! I wish my dress had pockets. But then I noticed more Butt Back. Crap!





One word: Cupcake. Enough said.



Fortunately, the first dress I ever tried on I FELL IN LOVE WITH. It’s the one I ended up buying, AND it was on sale. Holla! Can’t wait to show you the dress...AT THE WEDDING!

The Dress

I bought my wedding dress tonight!

Highlights include:
-Making sure I'm frowning in photos of all bad dresses
-Prancing around to store IN THE DRESS shopping for bridesmaid dresses
-Watching Mommy try stuff on
-Picking out a bridesmaid dress
-Deciding on THE dress, only for my card to get declined at the register. WHOOPS, apparently my card expired 2/28/10 and with all the moving I've done, never got a replacement. Amex to the rescue!
-Signing my life away on the receipt that states ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS, only to realize, HELLO she just handed me a bag with the nasty dress off the rack that is all kinds of broken. Cue freakout. Kind of.
-Fortunately, it was quick enough to void the transaction and start over, so a fresh new dress should arrive late next month.
-And the best part is the price! All dresses were on sale and my total with tax was $281! Freaking score! My budget was $300 and I didn't even have to sacrifice to get what I wanted.

Goodnight!
