Lest you think I simply sat around and did nothing in between my first dress shopping experience and the Filene’s attempt, let me assure you - I did plenty of ’research’! I can’t even count the number of dresses I tried on - is that bad? Since we all know I already found my dress and you’re probably plenty annoyed that I haven’t shown you the dress I actually bought, here’s a quick photo tour of the numerous other dresses I tried on in my quest.

(this dress made me realize I like sweetheart necklines)

(this dress made me make a note to avoid any more shiny materials; my face is shiny enough)

(this dress affirmed my dislike of the ribbon-under-bust look on me)

(I kind of liked this one, although I discovered I don’t really like the corset back style)

(What part of I’d-like-simple-detailing made her pull this dress?! And no thank you to extra fabric at my hips, nature gave me plenty there, thank you!)

And now for the dress that almost nudged my number one out of its top ranked position…. dun dun!

(beaded lace, slight sweetheart neckline, A-line shape - so pretty!)

(the real reason I almost bought this dress. I am obsessed with this train. How beautiful is that?!)

That last dress almost had me changing my mind, but I didn’t like the lace pattern as much, and I didn’t love the fact that the lace was beaded. I had only just come to terms with loving lace (and all its not-simple-ness), I wasn’t sure I could throw beads in with it. But, I knew I had to have that train!

Stay tuned for the final reveal…

How many dresses did you try on before you found your dress? Did you have a hard time deciding between options, or were you set on a certain style?
