I’m not a picky. I found my dream dress but it is 12.5k. I can’t afford that. I kept looking and found the same dress in SLC for 3050 for online only. Still a bit out of budget but better than the first. I was going to fly and try on the dress in store but in store the dress is 9155. Now I’m debating on just buying. But then I showed it to my group and everyone except a few said I should keep looking. I’m worried about losing out on my dream dress but what if it actually isn’t the right one?
