Okay, so my bestie is getting hitched, and I was tasked with finding the PERFECT engagement party dress for her. Cue the frantic online searching! I knew I needed to find some solid options for her.
The Initial Hunt
I started by hitting up some major department stores online, I’m not gonna lie. I was scrolling through pages and pages of dresses, filtering by color (she wanted something in the white/ivory/blush family), and trying to keep the price somewhat reasonable.
Narrowing it Down
After a few hours (yes, hours!), I had a bunch of tabs open. I started to get a feel for what styles she might like – some flowy, some more fitted, a few with lace, some with a bit of sparkle. It was all over the place, so I decided to be strategic.
The Style Test
I put together some collages with various different dress photos and texted her to chose one from it,but nothing too revealing! She’s pretty classic, but with a modern edge, so I focused on dresses that fit that vibe.
- Option 1: A simple, elegant A-line dress with delicate lace detailing.
- Option 2: A more romantic, flowy dress with an off-the-shoulder neckline.
- Option 3: A sleek, modern sheath dress with a bit of beading.
- Option 4:A cute tea-length dress.
The Final choice
She ended up loving Option 1 and Option 4!She picked the first one – the A-line with lace. It was totally her style, and I was so relieved that she liked something I found. I ordered it, and she picked up and try it, It’s perfect on her.
It was a bit of a mission, but totally worth it to see her face when she found “the one” (dress, that is!). Now, onto planning the actual party…!
