I Bought My Dress… And Then I Got Stuck In It.
January 7th, 2008 @ 1:27 pm by Mrs. Bubblegum
For today, we’ll stick with story #1: I bought my dress!! I mean, litttterally bought it. Meaning it is currently hanging beautifully in my closet! That’s right, I am HARD CORE.
And honestly, it was FUN. It took under two hours, I tried on about 8 or 9 dresses (there’s really no way of knowing for sure), and I walked out with the one dress that I had been looking at since the day I got engaged. The whole experience was really a lot cooler than I thought it would be - you get to wear a corset bra, a petticoat, EVERYTHING!!! I felt like Scarlett O’Hara!! Who knows, maybe tomorrow I’ll have a southern drawl???
Really, the biggest problem was that I liked too many. Even now, I’m sad that I can’t have them all. And here they are (please excuse the weird “mirror face” I seem to be making)!!!
(Mr. Bubblegum, nNNNNOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Dress #1 / DB Style #T8778
Dress #2 / DB Style #V9462 (I thinnnk…)
Dress #3 / DB Style #E9351
Dress #4 / DB Style #T9309
Dress #5 / DB Style #T8792
Dress #6 / DB Style #T8076
So here’s the challenge: a) Which one did I pick?!?!?! and b) HOW did I get myself stuck in my dress?!?!
Stay tuned!!!

#6 is my dress! Didn’t you love walking out with your gown the same day? I felt so satisfied!
My guess is either 1, 2, or 6.
…and you got stuck because the zipper wouldn’t unzip; at least that’s what happened to me when I tried on a bridesmaid dress from David’s Bridal.
Can’t wait for your next post!
i like number 1 in second version, i fancy a little color.
plus, i love you hair. how do you get those waves bubblegum?
Oh, man, lucky you! You got pictures of all the dresses you tried on. I didn’t have time to snap more than just me few favourites. 
if you feel like scarlett o’hara…. my guesses are 1,4, or 6. But 1 and 6 are my favorites!
Dress #4….it looks really pretty on you! 
1, 2, or 6? I like 6; your waist looks tiny in it!
I vote dress # 6, it’s the most flattering, in my opinion!
You look gorgeous in the all! Love that you got pictures in all your gowns!
I too had to be cut out of a gown…at Priscilla of Boston…way embarrassing. I was the “big” girl in the store at a size 8!
All very pretty!
I really like #5, but I think you picked #2, you have a huge smile on your face in the second picture of #2.
#6 looks gorgeous on you!
I love them all! #6 was my dress.
I saw 2, 3 or 6
I’m thinking you picked dress 4. And although I like 2, you’d totally know the dress style number you picked.
And you got stuck because one of the little seatbelt thingies in a strapless got hooked onto some underthing you were wearing.
dress #5 was my own wedding dress (!) — I vote for dress 6 on you.
They’re all pretty! One of my brides wore #5…here are some of her wedding photos (complete with DIY straps): http://soireespecialevents.blogspot.com/2007/11/katie-zacks-photographs.html
1 or 3 but they are all pretty!
#5 is my dress!
You look great in all of them, how did you ever choose?! I think I like #3 on you the best because of the neckline.
Number 6 is my guess! You look amazing!!!!
#2 or #5. So pretty!
My guess is #1 or #6 and that you got stuck b/c the petticoat got zipped into the dress somehow.
Oooo…I love them all, but I like the picture of number 6 the best. I am sure whichever one you chose is perfect perfect perfect!!
#2 or #6
I’m surprised to see so many people liked #6 as well. So now I think its totally just #6.
so what which one is it?????
Teehee! It’s fun leaving you all in suspense!!
Jessica - YES it was AWESOME leaving with it. I’ve been telling people all day that I got my dress, and they’re like, okay… but then I’m like, “no, I mean, it’s HOME” - that’s when they don’t believe me.
lali - aw shucks, thanks! It’s naturally wavy (sometimes bordering on curly), but it’s frizzy, unreliable, and unruly, so I use Herbal Essences Set Me Up Mousse - the extra hold kind.
jcm9608 - seriously, my SIL just kept snapping pictures, which was awesome. And it was awesome that the people working there had no issue with it.
I like #6 the best!
I have a similar body type and my dress was a similar style to #6. Mine just had a fuller skirt. The sweeping of fabric around the waist was so flattering and emphasized just the right spots.
#4 is my vote!
[...] I reveal the dress that won, I’d like to take this time to give an honorable mention to the runners [...]
#4 is the most beautiful dress!
