Happy Dance

After so much headache trying to find a wedding dress, I tried on my grandma's gown.

It fits better than any dress I have tried on! It's a very classic vintage dress and I have opted to wearing it for my wedding. It feels so good to make a decision!

I am so grateful that my grandma is letting me use it. It was $250, sixty years ago and I get to use it for free!
All that to say, if you are having trouble deciding, think outside the box and outside the picture in your mind. The best part about this dress is how well it fits. Find something that makes you feel comfortable in your own skin.
