So it was finally time for me to go dress shopping after stalking browsing every designer website I could find. I had realized early on in my search that I have high-society tastes on a pauper’s budget. Therefore, I made it my mission to find every brand with dresses for a more reasonable budget that upheld the style I was looking for. One of the brands I loved before I began dress shopping was Enzoani. They provided a lot of the details that I loved and with a budget I could stomach! And they have a second line, Blue, with lower-priced creations. I was delighted to find that a few of the salons nearby carried the lines!
So, wanna see some dress porn? (All photos in this post are personal pictures.)

Enzoani Fabi: I didn’t really think I wanted a true ballgown, but I thought this dress was so pretty I couldn’t resist trying it on. It was the first one I ever tried on, actually. My grandma seemed to love it, but I don’t think it did much for my body; my torso looks pretty square in it without any waist definition, but I love it from the side!

Enzoani Eva: I had seen a picture of a hive member in this dress and remembered thinking it was lovely. I loved the shape on me but didn’t like the brooch in the center and couldn’t help thinking it belonged more in a church and less at an outside ceremony.

Enzonai Diana: I LOVED this dress. This was the first dress I tried on and didn’t want to take off. I especially loved the belt, which gave it that 3D floral detailing I was itching for! Unfortunately, I didn’t love the straps on me, and I felt the train was WAY too long for what I was going for. It was a contender for quite some time, though.

Blue by Enzoani Cheyenne: I loved the way this dress made me look, but I didn’t really like the bling.

Blue by Enzoani Cincinnati: I didn’t really like this dress on me at first, but when I looked back at pictures I loved the softness of the tulle at the bottom. I tried it on multiple times, trying to convince myself it was right for me, but in the end I never really loved it. I felt that the straight-across seam hit my hips at a weird spot that wasn’t particularly flattering.

Overall, I felt Dianna was the best, but the gigantic train and strangely sitting straps weren’t perfect, and so my dress search continued…

Did you focus on specific designers based on budget and aesthetic? And which Enzoani creation would you have picked?

PS: I tried on A LOT of dresses, so there are lots more rejects to enjoy in the near future.
