Angel Ball Dress Shopping

[TaraHall]

Corin, I still haven't found one either. I just checked Davids Bridal's website and it says you need an appointment. This is where Kara got her dress http://www.bestbridalprices.com/brid...sses-c-24.html or do a search for Jordan Courure. Her style is 1502 but she got it in a different color. You don't have to go with white. I don't know what I am getting yet but probably a silver or maybe even a light goldish/brown from what I have already looked at. I have seen some really pretty darker colors I have liked too . You can go wtih off white also. There are a couple of stores at our mall that has some really nice dresses that are fairly reasonable too that I need to get back too before the proms are over. Don't just search for wedding gowns, the prom dresses will have some styles too or do a search for ball gowns and you will find a ton. Ebay has some selections too. I have been doing a lot of searching can you tell? LOL

Good luck!

hugs
Tara

Corin,

After my posting my other msg, all of a sudden a whole new page popped up (before it only showed my last response) - Strange!

Anyhow, I'm going to David's Bridal today. Their $99 sale ends Monday. It's a little out of the way for me, but on the way home. And it's about 35 miles from home. Not bad time-wise, considering how much traveling I used to do going to and from work every day - 26 miles could take anywhere from an hour to 3 hours to get to work or get home, even after rush hour in the evening! 13 years of doing that, let alone going anywhere else in this DC Metro area, got me used to spending time in the car.

Anyhow, even if you don't get a dress from David's Bridal, you can at least get your measurements and they have some really beautiful dresses on sale on-line. But their measurements are so strange that you really do need to be measured by at least their store if you're going to get a dress from them on-line.

Also, do you have a Ross store around you? That's where I found my original outfit I was going to wear for $34.95!

Geez, all this stress over one blasted dress!!!!!!! I'm so happy for those of you that found yours already!

Now to start worrying and stressing over the shoes and accessories like handbags, jewelry, etc.! LOL

Good Luck Corin and everyone in finding a dress! I know we'll ALL eventually find that "right" dress and we'll ALL look absolutely stunning in white and like the Angels that we all are! xxoo Moi

Judi, can you take a picture of your dress and post it, maybe someone will want to buy it from you if you are willing to sell it? Just a thought. Also call David's before you go, they require appointments.

Umm, no, I didn't get my dress from that website. I just used that website to show you guys a picture of my dress. I went to a local shop to get mine.

ok here is a pic of the dress I got.....not as fancy as all of yours



dang I shoulda thought about the long dress thing so that i could wear sandals (thongs!! LOVE it)! LOL

Holy smokes the last time I tried moonshine was at the campground a few years ago......bad, bad!! I helped open this campground and I worked there plus built and managed the website.....well they had a biker group that rented the whole place for a retreat. The main guy that rented it only wanted me and the grounds guy there for the weekend. These people were soooo very nice! great group of people!! As soon as they all started pulling in on Friday they were passing drinks out to me and Mike (the ground guy) and I am not a drinker!! So at the end of the weekend and my experience with moonshine and a AWESOME drink called apple pie I came home with a bumble bee tattooed on my leg......yikes!! LOL So yeah no more moonshine for me.....not sure what else I would do!

Judi.....MINIparties completely describes the 2000 conference! There are a few pics of these in Dawns video (Stand) also!! Take a look!! We had sooooo much fun!! I am looking fwd to having more of these!!

[Barbara and KevinWagner]

OMG! I totally forgot about a handbag!! YIKES!! I was just looking at them on EBAY and they have a few pages of them....and they r priced good and cute!!

Alright, so I went shopping yesterday and had a very interesting day. We started out by going to this little wedding boutique shop that my friend had bought her wedding dress at. They have a small clearance rack where you can find dresses for $50-100. Well, apparently someone had mixed the dresses up and pulled off all the price tags! So we couldn't tell which was which and the lady had NO IDEA! We found one that she THOUGHT might be on clearance b/c its zipper was slightly broken, and it fit perfectly and looked nice. But she couldn't guarantee that it was clearance so she couldn't sell it to me! She couldn't sell anything! She wanted to call me when she figured it all out... ummm bad business if you ask me.

So we moved on and decided to give in and try Davids Bridal (I had a VERY bad experience with my wedding with them). We got in there and I remembered why I was boycotting them. The woman kept trying to get me to buy dresses I hated and wouldn't take no for an answer. At one point she tried to sell me a dress that had makeup all over the front and was way too big!! I went to try and look at the prom and bridesmaids section and she kept following me telling me to reconsider the wedding dresses that she had picked out. I ended up telling her to go grab the dress for me to try on and running out the door while she was in the back. I felt bad doing it but she just wouldn't take no for an answer!

My next stop was Macy's and after looking through some racks of prom dresses I found it. It was so perfect. It was a white dress with gold embroidery.... I really fell in love with it, except that the biggest size they carried was just barely too small for me. So now I am debating on going back and buying it anyway and putting myself on a strict diet....

I didn't mean that you got your dress from that site Kara but is that the right dress? I did a search for the designer and liked what he had. I hadn't thought of JC P's although I have looked IN the stores we have here and didn't have anything. I am going to check out the sites you posted now though. Thanks!

Corin, sorry you had such a bad experience again. If you think you can do it I say go back and get the dress but you don't want to stress yourself out.

[Corin Nava]

Tara-I think I'm going to go back tomorrow and get it. I need an incentive to loose a little more weight anyway I have been loosing weight and this week I lost 3 lbs, so I know I can do it if I stop eating fast food.... no more McDonalds breakfast sandwiches.

Barb-the dress looks great!

Judi-I got your message about finding a dress. So glad you found one!
