Part of every bride’s journey to the altar includes finding THE DRESS. Everyone kept telling me I would find THE ONE and that I’d just know it when I put it on. Some people even recounted stories of crying when they found their wedding dress. In many ways I think I put too much pressure on myself based on what everyone had told me. You’ll recall I tried on many, many, many dresses but my dress ended up being on I’d never seen in person, and didn’t even try on before I decided to buy it. You’ve seen my dress in the teaser photos, but she deserves a proper introduction.
My dress is a custom made dress by Dolly Couture. The design is called Milan. And I love this dress. I originally saw Dolly Couture featured in a post here on Wedding Chicks, and really loved the uniqueness of the designs.

When I received the dress, it was everything I hoped it would be. The organza and tulle detailing was so beautiful. It didn’t need any alterations, though I did make sure to add a little extra padding in the bust area since I’m not that well endowed.

I received many compliments on the dress. It was 100+ degrees the day of the wedding, so a short dress definitely was a perfect pick. And even though I didn’t ever have the feeling of finding THE ONE, I did find it in the end.
Did you have a “THE ONE” feeling when you found your dress?
