As you may recall, I had dress regret. Again.

My plan of attack was to order some dresses online to see if there was anything out there that I liked better. And if I couldn’t find anything better, I could just wear the David’s Bridal dress that I already have, which isn’t that bad.

So far, I’ve ordered two dresses, with plans to order a third.

Dress #1: The Limited

I mentioned in my last post that I was head over heels for the Melissa Sweet Fiesole (which is way out of my budget). I saw a dress on The Limited’s website that reminded me a bit of the Fiesole, so I ordered it.

Um. A world of NO.

I can’t decide if it would fit in better at a rodeo or on an episode of “Toddlers and Tiaras,” but at any rate, this dress is most definitely not for me. I couldn’t return it fast enough.

Dress #2: J. Crew

Although I’ve been thinking that I’ll stick with a tea-length dress, I really love the J. Crew Arabelle dress, so I ordered it to try on. And you know what? I think I really like it!

So it’s wrinkled from being shipped in a teeny box, and it’s way too long, and I’m not wearing the proper undergarments. But look!

Cute, right?

Still, I needed a second opinion, and the only person around was my beloved fiancé. I’m not superstitious and I know that Mr. S would forget whatever he saw in a few days (his brain isn’t wired for fashion). So I tried on my old David’s Bridal dress and the J. Crew dress for him and asked his opinion.

He preferred the J. Crew by far. And I did too.

So it seemed settled, right?

But then.

But then, last week, all of the previews of BHLDN came out. And look what they have:

Forgive me for the lack of eloquence, but OMGOMGOMG squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!! It looks just like the Melissa Sweet Fiesole, for a fraction of the price!

BHLDN.com didn’t launch until today, and my size is on backorder so I can’t order it till the end of February. If it looks good on, then I’ve found my dress! If not, I think I can be very happy with the J. Crew Arabelle once it’s altered a bit.

Stay tuned, and cross your fingers for me, hive!
