I went to our local Bridal Salon in Brenham, TX with a list of gowns that I wanted to try on. I had called ahead of time, so they had all of them pulled and ready to go. Once I got through all of them, there were two that I really liked. But the fact that neither one of them stood out by itself as being the one kind of bothered me. We were contemplating the differences when I saw the skirt of one sticking out in their full rack of gowns. It was this gorgeous light golden color. I asked them to pull it out and I thought that maybe if I ordered one of the ones I already picked out in that specific color, it may be that one I'd been searching for. I put the dress on - which happened to be the SSM5140 - and that was it. Of the two I had chosen before, one was slim fitting, and one was very full. This dress had the best of both worlds. It showed my figure down to just below my hips, but the light airy fabric of the skirt still let me breathe and have that princess feeling! I loved it from the moment I put it on, and the light gold color was absolutely perfect with my complexion and blonde hair - it felt like it was designed just for me! Thank you Sottero & Midgley for making my day one to remember!
