(or "The Case of the Mildly Retarded Bridal Consultant")
The genius comedian Dane Cook claims that the DMV is the devil's a**hole. I for one cannot dispute this claim because I have had my share of tiffs with the Department of Motor Vehicles, but dealing with David's Bridal clocks in as a close second.
Back in November, Marty and I went to David's Bridal in Milpitas to try on bridesmaid's dresses. Let's just say it was bad. Here's an excerpt of my Yelp review:
Fast forward to a few weeks later when my sister was in town and we decided to look at bridesmaid dresses. We made an appointment for a Saturday mid-day, and off we went. The service this time around was TERRIBLE. We were given a "consultant" who did not know anything about the merchandise! We were left to looking through the racks ourselves, and then we had to ask someone else for a dressing room because our "consultant" disappeared (we come to find out later that she had to go to another store down the way to take off a security tag from a dress. They didn't have the device to take of security tags from dresses they sell?! WTF?!). So we pretty much had to go through our "appointment" by ourselves. I got my sister in and out of dresses, snapped pictures, commented on how cheap the taffeta looked, and got the hell out of there.
But the plus side of being abandoned by the mildly retarded consultant (or as I fondly called her, "MRC"? I got to take as many pictures as I want, baby!! I didn't want all our efforts to go in vain, so here are some dresses (we'd be going with the color Serene.):
Style: D02101
Style: 81047
Style: 81255 [Marty was a fan of the bubble skirt. Myself? Not so much.]
Style: F12697 [note: this one does not come in Serene. But Marty really dug the brocade, despite the fact that it felt like drapery material. But the sweetheart neckline? HOT.]
Style: 37571212 [my favorite! but Miss Marty wasn't feeling it...]
(Sorry for the extreme close-up Marty!!)
[Big shout of thanks to Marty for modeling!]
PS: You know you want more of Dane Cook. Peep this. OHH YEAH!

I think out of those styles, I like the one with the bubble skirt...only, without the bubble skirt! Kinda like this: http://www.siriinc.com/br-9458.html
So Marion, riddle me this: are we picking a style and then having your seamstress lady make something for everyone, or are we picking something that we'd have to order a dress from a shop? I've heard both, so I just want to clarify...
My main goal is to keep it cheap for everyone. It seems that the bridesmaids dresses that I like are around the $200 range. My seamstress recommended that I look at how much silk shantung is going for these days and decide accordingly.
I should be making a trip to Fabrics R Us in San Jose here in a few weeks. Who wants to come with?
ok, for the record, i wasn't feeling the last one because i felt fat in it. but i think it will be ok now. it was a very pretty dress. box pleats = no belly button shadow danger. i also like style 81047 but with an a-line skirt. ruching at the belly = no belly button shadow danger. p.s. that video clip is HILARIOUS.
