The shop was kind enough to let me photograph her in each gown because you get a better idea of what it's going to look like when you see it in a photo! I learned that little trick with my older girls and wedding dress shopping.
Thought I would show you some of the gowns she tried on!
Purple! Beautiful in the front butt....
makes her butt look too big!
Blah! Looks like grandma's drapes!
Loved the detail in this gown....
...RaLee: "It makes my boobs looks too small"
Mom replied, "Well good! Sold! Wrap it up and let's go!"
RaLee: "Ha ha ha ha very funny!"
The color is too weird!
RaLee: "MOM absolutely NO pink!"
Mom: "Oh please just try one on for me! Humor an old lady!"
RaLee: "Fine, I'll try it on but I'm not getting it."
Mom: "OH RaLee I love it"
RaLee: "Yeah it's okay but I don't like the polka dots!"
Mom: "What freaking polka dots!"
Bet you all don't notice them either! But they are there, very subtle, little dots in the lace!
"Too Poofy!"
Then I see Crystal sneak a gown into the dressing room.
Then I'm told to, "STAY OUT", then I hear giggles, snickers, whispers, and more giggling.
VA VA VA BOOM!
They got the biggest kick out of the look on moms face! I guess it was priceless...anyway Crystal thought it would be funny to give this old lady a heart attack! I'm trying to wrap my mind around the whole "Sleeveless thing" as it is!
Finally! One everybody LOVED!
So we set this one aside....it had possibilities!
Loved the detail in the bodice, simple and elegant.
Them BAM! WOW! We loved it! Choice number two!
Boobs look great...butt looked small...waist looked small...not too poofy....but
the jewels under the armpit hurt...
Mom: "Oh whatever, suck it up, it's beautiful!"
RaLee: "Yea I know..."
Mom: "There is one more dress you need to try on."
RaLee: "Awwwe do I have too? I already know I'm not going to like it."
Crystal: "Yes RaLee we've stood here all day your going to try on the last dress."
RaLee: "Okay okay I'll try it on."

Yes! It's perfect! We had the dresses narrowed down to three.
She chose the last dress, the one she just knew she wouldn't like, and no you can't see it....
We will reveal that on Prom night!

It looks like she had a blast trying on all her dresses! I can't wait to see how beautiful she looks! She is so beautiful!
I love this post! I remember doing this with wedding dresses for our youngest and begging her to try on a big poofy cinderella dress just for me! :-)
I love the last dress in this series so I can't wait to see the one she chose if it looks even better than that one! You have beautiful girls!
Boy have they changed since my girls were doing the prom thing. Of course I never had the $$ to really go shopping so I had to just let them give me orders at home.
Isn't it amazing how different a body can look in different dresses? I love the way the beading is no that last dresses skirt. Wouldn't that be beautiful on a wedding dress?
You look great RaLee. Can't wait to see the dress you said "Yes" to!!
Loved the polka dot (really swiss dots) and last ones both!
I just love reading your blog. You are such an inspiration as a mom. My daughter is about a year younger than your daughter so I get to see what I will be experiencing.
I loved your prom dress post. I, too, am looking forward in seeing which one was chosen as "the" one!
I think she tried one on in every color. I'm anxious to see what she picked as her favorite. Sure looks like you all had fun!
RaLee is so beautiful. Her smile lights up the room!
When is prom night? The suspense is building :)
Prom is April 30th! She is SO SO excited!
I bet she is, can't wait to see what she does with her hair :)
April 30th is the same day I am doing the March of Dimes, and Sage will be on my mind and in my heart the whole 3.2 miles!
A great story with a cliff-hanger ending! Can't wait to see the dress she chose!
She will look beautiful, I'm sure!
I'm just going to say the pink one looked gorgeous on her i loved it :)
