I looked online for styles that I like....davids bridal and alfred angelo (which is carried by house of brides) were my favorites. I went into Davids Bridal first and found my dress the first time....you'll know it. I didn't buy it right away because I wanted to at least check one more place, so I went to house of brides and then right back to davids bridal to buy my dress.....there was nothing else that came close!!
