A little story behind when I found the dress: I was in Rexburg one day...I think it was the weekend after Josh and I got engaged....I met up with Holly and she said that we had to go look for a dress! I'm gonna be honest...this was the LAST thing I wanted to do. Most women KNOW what they want their dress to look like...and I didn't! I didn't even know where to begin...I'm not a dress fan in the first place...I think I woulda been happy getting married in a T-Shirt and jeans (ok..so I'm sure that I would look back and regret it if we did that...but at the time it sounded like a good idea). Anyways...so I let Holly drag me into Treasures in Rexburg. We looked around for a few min and I picked out a few that looked nice. The first one i tried on looked just like that one from "runaway bride" where she says that she feels like a bell...you know that one I'm talking about? maybe not...oh well. So I took that one off and the next one I tried on I thought was mostly for fun...it was strapless (which I knew my mom would NEVER go for) but I thought it was beautiful so I tried it on...and I LOVED it! I didn't wanna take it off. So I called my mom and my aunt to come to the store becuase I had a wedding dress on that I loved. My mom was a little bummed that she didn't get to come with me...but they come right into town to look. My mom wasn't crazy about the strapless look, but I told her that I would be willing to get some straps added to it, and that made her a little more happy. We looked around and found some jewelry that I liked..and a tiara! So we bought it then and there..I had my dress!
So thats my dress story and here are the details of the dress if anyone is interested:
*Maggie Sottero
*Size 8
*Originally Strapless (we had a professional add some satin straps that could be removed)
*Worn twice (once for bridals once for the wedding)
*Lace up bodice (can be let it or tightened if you need a little extra room)
*Selling for $650 (a little more if you want the jewelery and tiara)
*Beautiful beading on the whole dress
*Simple but elegant





This is what it looks like without the straps:

So if anyone wants more details or is interested at all please let me know. I'll be posting it sometime this week on eBay as well.

That is a beautiful dress. I totally understand the feelings of keeping it verses selling it. I have often thought about selling mine, but never got around to it. And now it is over 10yrs old. Oh well...
