Expect this to be an ongoing commentary on what I've decided on, and what I'm currently
agonizing over deciding. That's what I expect it'll be, anyway!

Dernit

So, the trying on of the favourites didn't go so well. I tried on the one at the first store that my dress-shopping helpers hadn't seen before, and I found that I wasn't as crazy about it as I was before, so that helped some. (It has navy accents, and a lot of people mistake it for black in the photos, and I don't want a black dress.) It does come in irridescent white, apparently, but I haven't seen any pictures of it in that colour yet.

Then we went to the second place to try on
the other favourite, and they'd had the nerve to sell the sample dress to someone! And, of course, the more I think about it, the more I think that's the one I'd prefer.

Maybe they'd give the lady who bought the one off the rack my contact information, and if she wants to sell it after, she could sell it to me. Do you think the store would go for that? Me neither... why tell me where I could find a cheap one, when they could order in a new one for me at full price? :)

So now I'm not sure what to do....

    Oh no......what to do? Which one did they sell? The plain white one? or the one with the pastel decoration? sad for you....

    The pastel one. It was just a sample to try on (to me, anyway) whereas the all-white one is the one-and-only. At least there I was smart enough to ask her to hold it (and it turns out she already had put it aside).

    Have you tried other stores? Like maybe ones where your family lives? I know that when I worked in the bridal store here in Lethbridge, we had many gowns under $1000. They carry big name knock-offs. Interested in something like that? Try small towns.
    good luck girlie...
