I haven’t gone gown shopping in quite a few months. When I’d started, I had over 12 months to get a dress and most salesladies were impressed I had started with so much time to spare.

So today I decided to visit Princess Bride Couture, a great store in a quaint little antique-shoppe/artisan village in Bothell, WA, which is a suburb just outside Seattle. They happened to be having a Pronovias trunk show this weekend, with 10% off those gowns. If that piques your interest, they go by appointments only so phone them up. I had a great experience there today with a consultant that spent four hours with me (yes, I am that kind of bride…. I somehow have the stamina to jump in and out of 20+ dresses at each shop, and have sometimes done two shops in one day). Luckily they provided lots of bottled water, and even some biscotti by the time 7 o’clock rolled around. I’ve been to 9 different dress shops now, tried on hundreds of dresses, and can honestly say that there’s only one dress that I would consider. It’s a gorgeous lace Maggie Sottero dress that of course isn’t on the internet. So here are three that I picked out yesterday - please tell me which one’s your favorite.

Dress #1: Pronovias, Rosalita

Dress #2: Pronovias, Prenacarnita (note I really hate the neckline)

Dress #3: I’m not sure of the brand:

This last dress definitely had the most zing - it glowed, but I kind of feel that it’s like a lot of other wedding dresses:

And here’s two more random dresses I’ve tried on in the past.

So which one is your favorite?
