I found the dress!!!

With help from Cindy. It's perfect. Flattering, fits perfect in all the right spots... Really simple and silk shantung. I was surprised to find it so early and so easily; and it's not really what I expected to fall in love with. It's not really a '50s silhouette or tea length (but I can shorten it and add aqua tulle!). I still have an appointment at David's Bridal on the 6th! But Unbridaled was having a 50-75% off sample sale. And, well, this girl loves a sale!

When you know, you know.

...And I have since showed it off to almost every female at our engagement/my birthday party. No red wine was spilled! Good times!
