I’m gonna everything’s gonna fit differently. Yeah, so you want to come with the goods right, and you also want to come with not too. Many people, that’s my other tech squad because just one or two, the one or two most important opinions. Yeah, my friend was telling me that they bumped into an entire entourage. The mother, the mother-in-law to be the the bridesmaids, the sisters and children, You know, like the kids that were there and they were all decked out and they were all going to pick the dress. It’s like this is major pressure. Yes, you don’t necessarily want that when you’re trying to find the right dress. This is so perfect, it’s great! I said I bought fit and flare and the pockets are really flattering on a lot of different shapes. If you have [Applause] it’s beautiful because you have the in the out you have that flow going on at the bottom that so many women want on their big day like me. So this is Rebecca and she’s wearing a mermaid gown and I love everything happening with this dress. We have the illusion neckline. We have it’s great on her curves. We have the mermaid happening at the bottom and some Swiss thought tool and again, you know, just very simple and elegant, but sexy fits that you know, a styled her a bit more modern with her hair. We kept it down just a bit of sparkle at the ears, but again eat, she’s showing skin. She’s showing her arms and she feels great. In this, right. You feel super confident? Yeah, and that’s what. I’m saying. If you whatever those assets are that you like to highlight, do it. Yeah, pick one and go for it. That’s about the regardless of your size. I want to talk about walking in and not being a sample size. What happens then when you walk in and you are a 10 and they don’t. Have the dresses for you or your. What are the sample sizes that you’re gonna see in the bridal shop? Well, you’re not gonna see high sample sizes, yeah? Davids will go in with today. They carry a lot of curvier sizes. So it’s great. You can walk in on the floor. All those dresses are there for you in a range of sizes. Okay, but if you walk in, you’re just gonna have to be prepared, you know, it’s not like a dress fits anybody when they go in right, always going to be probably ill-fitting either too big or most likely choose. But what do you do, though you put on the dress and then it just different clothes and they doesn’t. They claim each other, so it feels like they order another size. They tailor it perfect. They tailor it perfectly lovely, thank you. [APPLAUSE] I’m not this, right. This is very unexpected, and it’s really like that’s a lot of leg, so I would think about this for the first dress or even the second as a lemony that we’re doing -, right, so this is great for like a city wedding. Yeah, destination wedding for the second dress began. Gabby has amazing legs. So they like wanted to put her in a mini. Something fun. She’s got the v-neck line again, which is really great for the bustline. You give it a little twirl. Various studio 54 It’s super sexy. Yeah, and you love this dress too.
