The Coquette Dress..and why I fell in love

I was not one of those brides who had a million pictures of what I wanted and ended up with something totally different. I KNEW what I wanted and I ended up with exactly that.

I knew I wanted fitted, mermaid shape, nothing sparkly or white. It had to have a vintage feel to it, be comfortable but most importantly I wanted straps!! I don't know why, but I insisted the dress have some kind of sleeve or strap...it was a completeness that made it feel retro to me.

It was the 3rd dress I tried on and it was love at first sight. It was absolutely perfect and so comfortable, I did not need a bra and special underwear was so unnecessary...
