However - my friend and I decided to venture over to a dress shop to browse around - maybe get a feel for what I like. I think we should do things like - set a date first... but really dress shopping sounds more fun!
I went to Maxine's Bridal in Stockton. Its a big white victorian on the corner of harding. The thing I noticed is there was tons of rooms with dresses to try on, but they took me to a room where there was only a rack of dresses that "came in my size" that I could try on. Most were horribly outdated.
I tried on a bunch of dresses. Not a lot of them fit.. and I didnt really like that 90% of them were these big satin monstrosities. Don't they make chiffon or tulle dress for fat brides?! and no sleeves please. Maybe a cap sleeve... but nothing solid.
I could bore you with ugly pictures of me in wedding dresses, but I really don't think I liked anything as much as I liked the tiaras.
I don't know if I like the whole veil over the face thing. Although in the pictures, you can't even really tell that it is there. This dress was nice. It had a corset back, and chiffon like I think I want. However it just has a little beading at the top - purple beading - and thats it. Plus it has no train. I'm not sure this is the dress. I think I want something sparkly, with little to no satin or taffeta (I tried on one I thought I liked until I saw pictures.) and a corset back would be nice.
As we were wrapping up, some lady came into glare at us. I know it had been an hour - maybe more? but really was that called for? The consultant said she worked there too, but was not the owner.
Anyways.. next?
