The Dress

I found my dress!!!

It was the second one I tried on.  I had a feeling when I put it on that I wouldn't see anything else quite like it, and I was right.  Dress shopping was so fun and easy!  It was just me, my mom, and our stylist (sales lady? not sure her official title) Mackenzie, so I felt completed focused on the dresses.  I described to her what I thought I intuitively would want, but asked her to  try on a dress in every silhouette.  She was amazing at figuring out exactly what I wanted, what worked on my shape & height, what would look best in our venue, everything.  She found my perfect dress.  I ended up with exactly the silhouette I thought I would want, but the fabric and details were not what I thought I would be drawn to, but better than anything I had imagined.  The dress is from a newer designer out of Hong Kong.  He's got a big presence in Japan and the UK, but is just starting to break into the US, so that's kind of fun. 

Being me, I couldn't buy the dress on the spot.  Mackenzie took down all the information and told us to call back if we decided to go through with it.  My mom and I talked about it all afternoon, and called back at the end of the day.   Because I didn't buy the dress right away they hadn't taken measurements, so we get to go back next week to take measurements and of course try the dress on again!! I can't wait to see it then!
