Mrs. Justin Case: The Wedding Gown

Wedding planning was probably the worst planning I've ever gone through in my life. No, I'm not being over-dramatic, I hated it. Every horrible person in the wedding industry that is out there I had the pleasure of meeting. If it wasn't for my awesome venue, amazing photographer and absolutely wonderful family/bridesmaids we would have eloped.

I hated dress shopping. We spoke with many designers around town and more than a few were open to my idea of designing a dress but when we arrived all they wanted to do was sale one that was already made because the one I wanted would and I quote "would make me look fat or pregnant" Yah, so dress shopping was no picnic and one night I had enough.

My Mom, Mal, Hal, Kim and I were sitting around the dining room table - we had just watched the Black Swan and were talking about how we like that white dress so we started googling it. I then found a website that would change my little wedding woes. A store in China that custom makes dresses. I had found my match, so with little debate my sister was measuring me and I was saying do you think this will look good, how about this.

So you read correct, I ordered my wedding dress online without ever seeing it in person or trying it on.

AND it was the best thing I could have ever done.

The designers told me it would be a little see-through but I didn't think much of that till I received it. Haha, I tried it on and you could see my boobs and my hoo-ha if I moved just right! I was shocked but cracking up laughing because dang the dress was beautiful and soft and so well made that I cannot believe people pay so much for wedding gowns. I obviously had to go get it fixed because they not only made it see-through but they added way to much fabric incase my heels were taller than i said they were.
