Dress crunch time

I  went to try on more dresses today at a different bridal salon. Last week I went back to David's Bridal with mom and actually had a pleasant experience. Okay, Okay I know I said never never to go there, but to quote my favorite American poet,

"Do I contradict myself?

Very well, then I contradict myself.

(I am large, I contain multitudes.)"

- Walt Whitman.

Anyway, I have basically decided that the whole buying a used dress or borrowing a dress thing is a bust. I am tall. There, I said it! I cannot wear the same dresses as everyone else. I am just too tall. If I am going to order one then I need to decide soon because apparently it takes months to get these things in and then they usually have to be altered blah blah blah. So, here are some dresses that I have actually tried on:
