The Serenading Dress

We went dress shopping today, and I really thought that I wasn’t going to find anything else that I liked because one of the dresses at David’s Bridal looked good on me and I’m not much of a shopper so I was thinking of going with that one.
Then today, we went to Belle Saison. I pulled four dresses off the racks, and they were the only ones I was interested in.
Now, when shopping for dresses, you often come across dresses you like or even dresses you love, and you may even buy these. But every now and then, you put on a dress and the dress serenades you with heartfelt love songs on the violin, under your window on starlit nights.
This happened to me today. I was in the dressing room and I put the dress on, and of course it was too big so Marci clipped it on the back so it would fit. I blinked once when I saw myself in the mirror and was so overcome with excitement that I started yelling “I’m in love! I’m in love!”
I bolted out the door to show Caroline and when she saw it on me she broke out into a huge smile. It seemed like every one knew it was the perfect dress for me. I think at one point I even heard Caroline say “Rebecca owns that dress!”
Sheesh, and I’m not even the one who’s getting married!
Anyway, I ordered it and it was under my budget for the dress which was fantastic. I’m super excited!
The dress will be solid navy, and will be this style.
It’s the moments like this that make me incredibly thankful that God made me a girl.
