As I mentioned in my last post, I wanted to go back and try on Amy Kuschel’s Talia gown one more time before I made my decision. That was when I found my dream gown…

I actually stumbled upon it by chance. When I got to the salon, I had to wait for a little while as the appointment ahead of me was running late. I decided to go browse their gowns…I had been looking around on their website a few weeks ago and had come across a gorgeous dress but was dismayed to see that it was way out of my price range. However, I wanted to just take a look at it in person and try it on for fun.

As I was browsing, I noticed they also had a sample sale rack hanging nearby. I walked toward it and to my pleasant surprise, I saw that exact dress!

(Mr. D, you need to stop reading now!…I’m serious! )

It was Amy Kuschel’s Rachel gown all in white! It had all the elements that I wanted in a dress…elegant and simple, a little bit of lace on the bodice, a sash, and a long train. Plus it has the trumpet style look! All in one! And to top it all off, it was 50% off the original price…which was less than what a brand new Talia would cost! I immediately grabbed it off the rack and held on to it, so I could try it on along with the Talia.

Turns out it was such a lucky find…it fit quite well, was in extremely great condition for a sample gown, and it was in my price range! It was tough to make the on-the-spot decision, but I am so glad I did . So without further ado, here is the dress….

And finally, a preview of my gown!

As you can see, my gown is currently way too long for me. I plan to take it in for alterations when we are about 4 months away from the wedding! A big thanks to my bridesmaid/roommate Caroline who helped me make the on-the-spot decision to buy!
