Finally have my dress appointment!

This one will be too small for you but you should definitely check out those resale websites and shops. You can get expensive dresses at very cheap prices. That is, if you dont find what you want at David's. In what city do you live? There are smaller shops that also have reasonable priced dresses but I understand you have a credit line at David's. Hopefully your experience is better than mine. You can always order online from them and ship back if you dont like it. Not sure what they charge for shipping returns. I just felt that the website completely misrepresented their selection. One rack of dresses to order and one row of off the rack clearance. Couldnt believe it. If you keep an open mind, you will find something you love. There was a dress or two i considered. I had to find a formal dress that works on the beach in a tropical climate (kinda tricky) and I'm very picky.
