People Cried

Date:February 20, 2012
"I went to David's Bridal to find a dress. I have an apple shape so I was very cautious about not wanting to look fat. This was the 2nd dress that I tried on. I thought it was THE DRESS (u know, "the one"#, but I had to try on other dresses to make sure. When I tried it on again, all of a sudden, our first dance song came on over the loudspeaker AT THE STORE #The Way You Look Tonight by Frank Sinatra). My fiance' and I danced on the showroom floor at David's Bridal. People were crying and I shouted, "I'm gonna take this dress!" It compliments and accentuates in the right places. I LOVE MY DRESS."

"Not only did I pick this dress to try, but also one of my sisters and my mother, all of us picked it without knowing that I picked it too. Love it, its so much prettier in person that online. The details on the bodice and down the back make the dress very romantic and dreamy! I am so excited to wear this dress as I marry the man of my dreams!"

Love it

"I went with my family to look at dresses. This was not the one I thought I would fall in love with. When I looked at it I though I would look like I was pregnant. Once I put it on and looked at myself in the mirror I felt like I was going to cry. I didn't see the bad things while having this dress on I thought of all the right things. This dress is beautiful and flattering on a "heavier" figure."

"I went into Davids Bridal to just look and not planning on buying anything. Ended up trying on some dresses & this was the first one they picked out for me. The moment I saw what I looked like in it, I knew this was the dress. I tried on a couple more that night but they did not compare to this one. I was looking for something with straps, white, & a pickup skirt, and absolutely nothing strapless. But when she brought this one in for me to try on, it was just like WOW! I can't wait to wear this on my wedding day & for my reception. I feel like a princess in this dress!"

"Being a plus size bride is difficult, and the last thing you want to think about is "do I look fat". The day I tried on dresses wasn't going well. It seemed every dress==I looked large. But this was the last dress, and the picture on DB website didn't encourage me, because you can't see it well. When I put this on, everyone who was there for me, smiled big and when I saw myself==I knew this was the dress!!! I'm sooo excited to wear it for my big DAY!!!!!"

"This dress made me feel like a princess without wanting a huge ball gown dress that wouldn't have been flattering on me. I wanted something simple but still a little different and I was very pleased with this dress!!!! I even got to wear it twice because my husband and I had a small ceremony with family then came home to have a welcome home reception! :)"

Nothing could compare

Date:February 10, 2012
"Last month, I went to David's Bridals just to look at wedding gowns for my June wedding, and did not intend to buy anything that evening, but I LOVED this dress the moment that I tried it on and afterwards, nothing could compare to it. The chiffon is extremely flattering and has a flowing effect, which made me feel like a beautiful princess in this dress. The lady at David's Bridals that assisted me, picked this gown for me after listening to what I favored. It was not one that I had originally asked to see. She was very good at what she does and knew that this dress would create a beautiful bride in me. To help anyone online that is ordering this gown, I needed two sizes larger than my usual dress size."

"This was the first dress I tried on after trying on many dresses. While being pregnant, I tried to find a dress that will be elegant and comfortable for me to wear. The wedding will be May 26, 2012, and I know my fiance will be pleased with what my family purchased."

"Got engaged on Christmas Eve and went to David's Bridal just to get an idea of what would look nice on me. I went with my mother, sister and son. Tried on 3 other dresses, but when I came out the dressing room with this on my mom was already crying, then my sister started to cry. When I turned around to look at myself in the mirror I could hear my father (who passed away April 17, 2011) "Baby you look nice in this!" Needless to say there wasn't a dry eye in the house. This was truly the dress for me. Purchased it right there on the spot!
P.S. Sorry for the side view picture.

"I went to DB w/ my mom, gram and Maid of honor. This dress has always been my favorite but I tried on others first. As soon as I put on this dress I knew it was the one. When I came out of the changing room w/ it on mine and my fiance song was playing in the store. I knew it was fate."

Best Dress Ever

Date:January 21, 2012
"We went into David just looking for a dress for my daughter Kayla and we found this dress. She looked beautiful, it made me and her sister cry and even Kayla cried. We bought this dress for her wedding two years ago, but she had to post pone the wedding so this year we are planning her wedding. The dress still looks fabulous as it did the first day she put it on. She is a princess in this gown I and Kayla are still glad that we picked this dress."

"I had gone into David's Bridal just to try on dresses for the first time. We hadn't picked a date or anything yet, and I wasn't planning on picking out a dress. I had tried on about 5 dresses and was feeling awful about myself... Then they pulled out this dress-- 4 sizes bigger than I am... They couldn't find one in my size... After going into the changing room to change back into my normal clothes because I felt like I was just done, they found ONE in my size. So I tried it on and INSTANTLY knew it was the one. I walked out of the room and my mom and sister-in-law started crying and I knew it was my dress. I ended up buying it that day and haven't had a second thought about it. I've been married now for a year and a half, and I still try on my dress randomly. I felt and looked amazing in this dress!"

"Beautiful!!"

Date:January 6, 2012
"I never thought I would wear a strapless dress as I am a heavier busted woman and have never found a strapless that would stay up. The associate brought this to me and I didnt think I would like it. I put it on and felll in love. All during the wedding, I never had to pull it up. It was a perfect fit and I loved it!"

Dress of my Dreams!

Date:December 2, 2011
"I had purchase this dress back in July when I went home to announce my engagement to my family. I had this dress on my list but it wasn't my number 1, until I put it on. Every other dress wasn't even close to it. I felt like a Bride and felt like I was the most beautiful woman in this dress. I will say that it a BIG thing for me with body image issues, but I will not have that problem while I am in this dress on my special day. Thank you! Also I am glad I bought my dress early because I am having to move up my wedding day due to the Military, so I have this already checked off on my list to do. Congrats to you Ladies who read this and I hope y'all have a wonderful beautiful day on your special day."
