I’m not one for white – maybe ’cause I look horrible in it thanks to my super-pale skin – but I do love the yellow one in the middle. All are great choices though.

1/3 of the way through… Wow. It’s flying on this end, I’d say, but I’m sure it’s torture for you. Keep your head up though. You are doing great hun.

I just read the Post in Question as it was still in my reader (very sneaky, Google!) – and, um, yeah. Not to rehash but I did want to mention that, um, WHAT. One of the gals I work with did exactly the same thing you did. And you know what? Nobody thought it was wrong, or “deceitful” or any of the other things she said. From what I can tell, it is fairly common practice, and I think maybe she’s bitter that she never had one. I mean – sure, the whole point is a marriage. But if he is deployed, it’s not like you’re really getting to BE married right now, anyway. As in the case of my friend, the marriage kind of starts when he gets back. Thus? A later wedding if FINE. Also, yes, from what I can tell, there are a lot of reasons you would need/want to get married before he was deployed – hooray for bureaucracy. I’ve also NEVER heard that military wives are bratty or entitled. If anything, I consider them to be some of the strongest women I know, and I don’t know HOW they do it.

That said, I like Dress #1 the best. :)

It never ceases to amaze me how some people can be judgmental of others lives they share on the Internet. I mean, you're putting it out there, but that is no reason to light someone up like that. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. I like to stick to that one. And those dresses are ridiculously cute! AH! I want to go shopping now!

I almost bought that first dress myself. That would have been silly since I don’t actually have any reason to wear it aside from the fact that it looks so pretty. However… the reviews of it weren’t great. Some reviewers said it fit funny and made them look boxy. I couldn’t find it in my local stores, so I can’t say first-hand. Try it on!

I vote for the first dress. LOVE that back! I have to say, even though I took a side and contributed to the comment war, I was a bit relieved to see you took down the post. It reminded me a bit of the days when the evil Air Force wives I knew would start drama on Myspace. Some people are just drama and I'm glad to see you purge yourself of it. Please don't shut out all AF wives though. Some of us can be extremely loyal, caring, and supportive friends when given the chance. :) hisredhead's last blog post..The Brett Favre Job

Ooh, Rachel! That first dress is gorgeous! So simple and elegant. They’re all really cute though :)

Why do people continue to suck? I missed the post you’re taking about, but I can imagine the drama that ensued.

I came over here from 20sb, and read this post and got all excited because, um, I adore anthropologie. le sigh. I LOVE the second dress. But I think you need to hop down to the nearest store and try them on and take pictures for us so we can help you choose. :) Deidre's last blog post..Sometimes I think I can feel the future. It doesn't feel good. Rats.

Love the 2nd dress, but all of them are beautiful!! :) Sorry to hear about your internet drama, I didn't get to read the original post but I'm sure nothing was worth the backlash you received. Yay to being 1/3 through the deployment! I just passed the 1/2 way mark which seemed like it would never come. While I don't think the time every "flies by" I do believe that getting used to the separation helps a bit. This too shall pass :) confessions of a perfectionist's last blog post..Life Is Not a Puzzle

I love the back detail on the first one. I just think it looks so unique and pretty. That’s just my 2 cents ;)

Have you checked out Mod Cloth?

Like anthropologie they also have a lot of cute dresses with that classic/vintage inspired vibe, but at a slightly lower price point.
