The Dress Hunt

The search for my dress continues. I have tried on soooo many dresses I can't even remember them all. I don't know what it is....am I just super picky or what? I can't seem to find one that I absolutely love.....and that's at a reasonable price. That's probably my problem.

These are a few of the dresses that I've tried on so far that have stood out to me. There's something about each dress that I love, but there's also something about each one that I don't really like. I know eventually I'll find my dress....I just have to search a little longer.

Jim Hjelm - I actually really liked this one. It's not one I would have picked out from a picture, but we all agreed it was really flattering on me. Even Jeremy liked it. But Jim Hjelm is out of my budget.


Jim Hjelm - A really pretty lace gown, but unfortunately....I have no boobs.


Monique Lhullier - Loved this dress....but once again, I have no boobs!


Monique Lhullier - A little too heavy on the lace for me, but otherwise really pretty.


Alfred Angelo - Love the lace on the bottom, but I wish it was more fitted. And I didn't really love the color.


Alfred Angelo - Something different but detailing on the side is a bit much, and I was afraid the bottom would look weird b/c I'm kinda short.


Alfred Angelo - Cute....but I didn't like the split in the middle.


Casablanca - I really liked the sleeves and the rouching, but I think I want something strapless and more fitted.


Birnbaum and Bullock - Really pretty!....but too princessy for me. It looked really good on and it was really lightweight and comfy though.


Vera Wang - Found it used on Craigslist. Really gorgeous dress, but a little too big for me and I didn't want to pay to get it cleaned.


Mika Inatome - The most flattering lace dress I've tried on thus far, but it's a custom-made dress, so I'm sure it's expensive.


Christina Wu - Love the beading on the top, and the detailing on the bustle, but overall I felt it was a little too siimple.


David's Bridal - This dress looks so cute in the picture and I totally fell in love with it. When I tried it on, it fit really well, but it just didn't feel "weddingy" enough....if you know what I mean? I think I need something a little poofier.


David's Bridal - I like the cap sleeves and the empire waist, but the quality wasn't that great, especially for the price.


Melissa Sweet - Very cute and vintagy looking, but not me.


Melissa Sweet - Love this one, especially the dropped waist.....but everyone kinda has it.


Dessy - My friends liked it, but the thing I've found about most lace dresses is that they're too shapeless.


Anjolique - Love the lace! but I'm afraid the top might be too revealing.....cuz I have no boobs.
