MY DREAM DRESS!!!!!

Here was the what I didn't want in a dress....
1. Could not be a "traditional" dress type
2. Could not be an actual bridal gown.
3. No tulle or lace (they both make me itch)
4. No rhinestones and things like that....it needs to be simple.

What I wanted in a dress...
1. "destination" type dress
2. really cute bride's maid dress

And that trip to David's Bridal changed all that, and I thought that I found the perfect dress at David's. Well guess what NOPE it wasn't it. Today I went to a scrapbook store in the outlet mall to get some stuff for my daughter's girl scout troop, and in walking the mall (needed a lil' retail therapy and a lil' fitness in the process) I stopped at Group USA. Why did I do that????

I started looking at the Destination dresses and found THE DRESS. And how I know it was THE DRESS I started crying when I saw myself in the mirror. The top is covered in rhinestones (#4 on the no no list) It has tulle (#3 on the no no list.) And the best part is that it doesn't need any BODY ARMOUR!!!! I had on a strapless bra and I didn't need to change into a long line bra. NOW THAT WAS A HUGE PLUS!!!!

Here is a picture of me in THE DRESS...its a little big in the top and its long, but that's nothing that a good seamstress can't fix. but here is the kicker....the David's dress was $600. The Group USA dress is $190.
