I thought i had found "the dress" a few weeks ago, it was a benjamin roberts 'destinations' one as we are getting married in cyprus.
Anyway wanted to have a look around before making my final choice, thinking i wouldn't find anything nicer.
I made appointments for Scarlett Brides - Ennis, Aibheil - Adare and Patricias Bridal - Newcastlewest 2 weeks ago.
So off we went, Scarlett Brides being our first stop and having tried on loads of dresses that were all lovely, the last dress i tried on was the most gorgeous Steward Parvin dress called 'silver screen' - it was pure red carpet straight, sleeky and backless. We had found another contender!!
We then went on to Aibheil and as we walked in the door i noticed this beautiful dress hanging up near the back of the shop. It was so different from anything else i had seen anywhere and said i have to try that one on anyway. So i did and my mother was crying . Both my mom and sister loved it - it was a David Fielden dress called "Grace Kelly"
The predicament i am now in is that all 3 dresses were beautiful, so different from each other and so different from anything that is in most shops (typical dress being boob tube and full skirt)
Also the prices are €1250, €2400 and €2500
Now i didn't set myself a budget, i just felt that if i found 'the dress' i would get it. (now i wouldn't spend 10k on a dress either...)
How do i choose ..... there are no pictures of the steward parvin or david fielden dresses on the internet. The benjamin roberts dress is here

Its dress 812
Im still thinking of going to DeStafford bridal to have a look ..... probably to confuse myself more
In an ideal world i would love to have all 3 dresses under one roof and try them all on .... what to do, what to do
