There are a couple things that get to me though. The fabric and quality of the sewing. Some of these dresses can photograph pretty well, but in person, you get what you pay for. Some of the dresses are made out of polyester, and can almost have a bluish tinge to it, because it's so white. I personally, prefer a creamier color like Ivory, that has a little more depth to it when taking pictures.

Another thing, the sales lady can be a little overbearing. She was nice by all means, but after a few weeks, she kept calling me every couple weeks and trying to push their dresses. Also, look out for the quality of the dresses. Make sure you get one that hasn't been tried on by hundreds of brides.

I ended getting my dress in Raleigh, North Carolina. It's a store called Traditions. It's more higher end than David's Bridal, but they had a great sample sale, and couldn't resist. The sales people, seamstress, and everyone there has been wonderful and so helpful. I cannot say one negative thing about the place. The dress is by LeeAnn Belter, she's known for her understated, elegant designs. The dress is also made out of silk, and made in Canada. I try to support those dressmakers working out of North America. Dresses made in China have come a long way over the past ten years, and the quality is pretty good. But I want to support North American made products.

For those girls finding the right dress, take your time, and take people with you who are honest and helpful. And have fun! There are so many designs out there, take advantage of trying it on!
