Last weekend, I went with my mom and friends to go try on wedding dresses for the first time. As a borderline plus-sized gal, with the build of a garden gnome, this a painful feat.
I pulled many of the dresses that I loved online, threw on my Spanx and tried to shimmy my way into the first dress! I put it on and between my mother and I we cannot get the zipper to budge one bit. I suck in as much as possible but we admit defeat because the last thing I want is to rip a dress and have to pay for it. Much to my relief, when I get the dress off I realized I grabbed the wrong size and this dress was about 4 sizes smaller then what I truly wear. I get out of that dress and really appreciate being able to breathe in an out without the fear of busting a seam!
I tried on another dress which fit much better but I felt made me look incredibly hippy!
The next dress was a little too big but I felt like it drew more attention to my arms that I hate. .
The next dress I absolutely loved! In case it is the one I choose, I will not post a picture. It had beautiful beading, it was flowly and flattering and I felt like a princess. I turned around to look at the detailed beading on the back and all you can see is my back fat at the top of the dress!!! It was that moment that I realized I need to make a change so that I can feel beautiful on this important day!
My dream dress is similar to the one Khloe Kardashian wore in her wedding to Lamar Odom. It is a slim fit instead of poofy so you need to have the right body for the dress. I love the sash and the details on it. I did not buy a dress that first shopping trip but in the end of October I will be going back with both my sisters and my mom and I am hoping that by then I will be feeling a little more comfortable in my skin so that I will try on a dress like that!
