Ashton's dress just barely arrived via FedEx.
I have been so nervous about this. We ordered the dresses online at A Dressy Occasion. They have great reviews, but who knows how anything bought online will actually turn out.
The dresses could come super late. The color could be completely wrong. The dress could not fit...at all. Everything about it could go so wrong!
Ashton's dress came two weeks early. It was scheduled to arrive March 9th - we were anxious about the date being so close to the wedding. So far we're off to a good start. Now I just have to hope Ashley's dress makes it up to Alaska smoothly.
I held my breath as we opened the box.
We didn't pull a brown dress out of the brown packaging. It isn't purple. Nor is it red. It's definitely burgundy. Burgundy. I am so relieved. The color is perfect and the dress is gorgeous!
There are a couple small alterations to make, but that is to be expected. I love the dress! I'm so happy we took the risk :)
Just 28 more days to go! That's a month from yesterday :D

If you are ever looking for modest gowns or formals, I highly recommend A Dressy Occasion . They have modest, fashionable dresses at good prices. We called in with several questions and concerns, which they effectively answered with good suggestions. They are an actual store located in California, not just a random online store run out of someone's garage. They are fast, but their dresses aren't just thrown together. They are very nicely made with quality fabric and beautiful seams!
