When I first got engaged I was looking online for dresses and came across this picture. I knew right then and there that I had to have this dress. I searched and searched for it through all of the websites and magazines. Finally I found it at a dress shop in MI that specializes in Miss America pageants. I was so excited but there were a couple obstacles I would have to overcome before this dress was mine. 1st off they did not stock the dress... So I would be going in blind and just ordering something I had never tried on before...and then I would be stuck with it, even if I hated it. 2nd the down payment, money was tight but I knew I had to have it. I was going to pay for it with my tax money but then I learned it was going to be discontinued. I contacted the store and we worked out a deal. I went in that week and ordered the dress of my dreams. And once the dress came in I tried it on for the 1st time and it was perfect. I LOVE MY DRESS!!!!!!!!!!!
