Wedding Dress

Wedding dress shopping!!!


Started looking at designs online for a possible wedding dress, then came across this site that had a wedding dress sale towards the end of January. So signed up to go have a look. 
Berketex Bride in Frederick street it turns out to be. Walked in to this relatively small shop, and there are easily hundreds of wedding dresses there. But unfortunately they were all too glamous and big for what I had in my mind......


Spoke to Liz what I had in mind, floor length dress no train and no puff, she suggested for me to look at the bridesmaid dresses to see if i like any of those as they can be made in white or ivory. Out of about 30 dresses, I only saw 1 dress that i like


Tried on the dress, although in black it was stunning, made me look super thin! :) but the dress was 300 quid which was abit more than I wanted to pay for.... so decided to shop around and come back.


saw a dress in debenhams, ordered online with discount code and it was only 120 quid thought bargain!!! got them to try on - they were a little small.... But the biggest thing was that i just didnt look right in the dress- i actually look pregnant.... so unfortunately, away back to the shop for money it went.


Next shop was Susan gregory's. Yvonne and Angela got their dresses there and they were really nice as well when i went there. So went in to see if there are anything I like. Unfortunately the ones they have all have trains and puff, tried on about 6 dresses there and there were 2 that I liked, but to be really honest, they were too puffy, too long with train even though they can take it up and far too expensive!! one for 450 quid and the other was 520. and theres still alteration on top of that.


Next stop, tried Katherine Hamilton's tried on a few dresses, and there was one dress that was lovely, and it was down to this one and the one from berketex bride.... this one was 350 quid and still have to get alterations done and paid for.... and it was on sale. to get this one, it will be the display one...... so had a long hard thought.... ended up buying the one in katherine hamilton. Deposit paid for and ordered now - Dress should arrive in August!! woohoo!!!! 


Have to thank Dee for coming with me to each of the dress try ons and giving me her opinions..... it wasnt til the last time i went to Berketex bride that Angela came. Timings was just not right.... but at least she saw the dress i've bought :)
