Dress debacle?

So, my maid of honor (will be matron of honor) my mom and I have begun wedding dress shopping. We started at David's Bridal where I tried on about 10 different gowns with no luck, and then we moved on to Julie Allen Bridal.  I tried on about 6 or so gowns there. For about 4 of them, I didn't bother to come out of the dressing room. There is one front runner that Mom and Lisa LOVED! but I was gun shy. Am I the kind of girl who just doesn't get the "this is my dress" feeling that years of watching Say Yes to the Dress has promised me? I loved the front runner dress and it looked fabulous on me. Seriously I felt like I lost 20 lbs when I put on that dress. There wasn't even "one thing" I didn't like about it... So where is that "it" feeling? Thankfully Lisa took about 10,000 pictures and the more I look at me in the dress and the stunning way the dress photographs, the more I like it. Maybe next appointment I will have my AHA moment. Or will I forever be in dress debacle territory of I'm not sure? :-( I'll keep you all posted...

  1. dress shopping is tricky! I tried on a bunch that I thought were great, but I never got the 'it' feeling.
    Finally, after months of shopping, and a long day at the Palisades (also not feeling very well), the very last dress I tried on before we were about to leave turned out to be the dress. I can't say 'it was the dress of my dreams' because I don't know what that is, but I loved it and it made me excited wearing it.
    As long as you feel beautiful (and I would also say comfortable), you will be ravishing!
