2,4,6,8- which dresses do we love to... love?!

So after reluctantly knocking off the the idea of wearing a princess ball gown (seriously, I wanted to love them so much but I just couldn't see myself wearing one and being comfortable), we were back at square one. I tried on 20 more dresses that worked better, but eventually we narrowed it down to 3! These were the contenders:

Rivini Trina

Rivini Thirteen

Lazaro LZ3951

I realize this last one is a fluffy ball gown, but it was surprising not overwhelming and I just couldn't let go of the awesomeness. But can we revisit the gown I was totally, completely, and overwhelming in love with?

I am in love with this dress. I am completely, head over heels "OMG I WANT IT" crazy about it. But my mom? Didn't. She hated how perfect and defined the squiggles were, it made her a little crazy that they were too perfect. And I have issues with spending $5, 000 on a dress that I never want to sell, and would only be wearing for 8 hours. I don't care at all if other people do it, but for me, well, that's just not something I'm okay with. The dress is not something that's really important to me if I can spend that money on, say, an extra 100 mini hot browns! But this dress. Oh, oh this dress. I even found it used! Look at the source address! But alas, I am NOT a size two. Not even remotely, remotely close...
