I've got my dress! (Almost)

I'm so excited I think I'm going to be sick. I finally decided on Wednesday night last week which dress I want. On Thursday and Friday I called around to pretty much every store that carries this line in BC and a couple in Alberta, and found out that I could get it for $175 off in Kelowna. On Saturday I asked the store here if they could match it, and they could not.

I also found the store in Salmon Arm that has this dress in stock, but it was "rum" and I wasn't sure what the colour that was, and she actually said it was "rum pink" and I wasn't clear if that meant "rum with pink embroidery" or "a colour called rum-pink with multicoloured embroidery." I decided I wouldn't like the sample one, and didn't get my hopes up. Last night the lady from the store emailed me photos of the dress, and it is "a colour called rum-pink with multicoloured embroidery" which is what I'd been hoping for but not expecting.

Got the size chart today, went and got measured at a store here (not the one that carries Sincerity... don't think they'd want to help me NOT get their business!) and it will fit, or at least be close enough that alterations are reasonable.

So, in 7 days I went from deciding, to having it nearly in hand. They've put the (MY!) dress in the back room so no one else can come in and steal it, and my parents are going to go in on Saturday and inspect it and make sure it's in good shape (or if it isn't, that whatever is wrong with it can be fixed) and then I will BUY MY DRESS!

I can't wait... I'm SO excited it's got my stomach in knots.
