It felt so weird and awkward trying on dresses in the middle of a store on a pedestal. I luckily found mine after only a few dresses. I can't wait to see the full picture!!

Damn "Say Yes To The Dress" has spoiled it for everyone.

I do not like opening presents in front of people, I think it is a reaction thing - like people expect you to react in a way. I hated the fakeness of the employees in the store, I know they just wanted to make a sale off of me.

I would email the site and suggest they add a search bar and categories though. The site is so hard to navigate and someone looking through their evening dresses or for prom has to go through pages of wedding gowns.

In fact, a wedding dress at all wasn't really my thing. I ordered a short white dress from J. Crew (back in the day before they had the huge wedding dress selection they have now), and called it good. haha.Lori @ Foxes Love Lemonshttp://www.foxeslovelemons.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7760909040602075151.post-14872399978633957142013-08-08T09:00:38.842-04:002013-08-08T09:00:38.842-04:00wow awesome finds!!wow awesome finds!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16752298077555288125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7760909040602075151.post-58133790110625633412013-08-07T21:12:48.109-04:002013-08-07T21:12:48.109-04:00What amazing bargains!
