dresses take one

The first try-on session, or whatever you want to call it, went well. It was a sample sale, which meant the salon ladies were hands-off -- they told me to dive in, try on as many as I could in an hour, and no more than five at a time in the dressing room. There was one other woman there with her friend, she was trying to decide between two dresses for her October wedding. She asked me what I thought at one point, but I hadn't been judging (just given her a glance), so I couldn't say. It was a little awkward being there alone, I had to ask the other customers and the "consultant" to help me zip/button up once or twice, but other than that it was fun. Ginger's is owned by the designers of the couture line Ristarose, so I got to try on some one-of-a-kind dresses from their line. There was one... ohmigod... but way too expensive. One was nice and reasonably priced, and if I was closer to the date I might've considered it, but I've got so much time and I want to go shopping with Mom and Denise at least once, so I passed. But now I've got that under my belt, I'm feeling good about the whole experience -- I'm sure I'll find a dress that is beautiful, and I think I actually look pretty good in white.
