My parents are snowbirding it this winter. Since they are leaving mid January, there are a few things I want done before they leave. Number one: the dress.
This weekend I started my dress shopping experience. The first place we went to was a little shop about the size of my closet and twice as full. I found a dress there I liked, and liked more and more after leaving the shop. The thing is, the shop was so tiny I didn't really get a chance to see the dress. So I called other salons that carried the same line. And called. And called. No one had this dress!
Finally I talked to a very nice woman at a salon that explained that this dress was too new. Most places didn't order the dress, and the salons couldn't get a loaned version until after the trunk shows completed for the season (ie: December). The woman said a lot of places didn't order the dress because it was very different than most of the designer's dresses, and most "Maggie Brides" (it is a Maggie Sorreto gown) wanted a certain look.
So then I wondered: how many times does one have to get married to be a "Maggie Bride"? After all, I thought you were just a bride, and you bought a dress. Personally I'm hoping to only be a bride once, but are Maggie's brides often returning customers? If so, do I really want to go to a designer that other brides go to time and time again? Somehow that feels like a bad omen.
