Dress Shopping! Part 1!
So to start off, I had no idea where to start. I had not tried on a variety of dress styles before - and at that point I thought I knew that: I loved the idea of long sleeves, and hated the idea of sleeveless.
Oh my how that changed!
The first store visit I invited my DF and we hit a shop called the Bridal Connection. I was interested in the Alfred Angelo Disney gowns they carried. I also wanted the chance to try on several styles to see what exactly I could rock. The store was pretty tiny, but I found some pretty pieces.
I know I shared this photo before. I just love the Elsa style dress. Of course I love the character. The style of gown isn't 100% what I wanted, this number would be AMAZING to wear to Christmas parties or winter events.
I tried a long sleeve gown. This dress was beautiful, but not really fitting for the fairytail/Disney vibe. Maybe I'll get a long sleeve number if we decide to host a reception at home in Colorado.
The first ballgown/a-line hybrid I tried on. Slowly warming up to sleeveless.
The 2015 Disney Fairytail Tiana dress. SWOON! I loved this gown!!!
Ultimately I am not in love with the belt detail, but I love the unique take on beading pattern. By far my favorite from the first day.
The first day taught me that I actually liked sleeveless. I have broad shoulders and an hourglass figure, the cut allows my shoulders to be minimized by the bust. Who knew?
