I'm allergic to wedding dresses!

In the last three weeks I have tried on hundreds of wedding dresses. Friday, at House of Fashion Bridal Salon, I found my dream dress and paid way to freakin much for it! It's a Lazaro dress. I love it! It's got a vintage, elegant look with a touch of sexy umph! This is the neckline.

I won't post any other pictures because I don't want ruin the surprise! The neckline is a bit... "adventurous" lets just say...and I will just have to work a couple extra shifts to afford it! But I think it's worth it. I have been fantasizing about this dress for a long time!

So why is this blog title "I'm allergic to wedding dresses?" Let me tell the not so pleasant part of my dress shopping adventures.

Last week I noticed that I had a little rash on my arm but contributed it to stress or a food allergy. Yesterday at work I noticed it was all over my abdomen, back and arms. Red little bumps that looked like chicken pox. I was sent to the ER to rule out something contagious (as I could have contracted it from a patient or give it to a patient). I was diagnosed with contact dermatitis, which is an allergic response to something your skin comes into contact with. The only new thing my skin has been in contact recently is WEDDING DRESSES. And lots of them! It must be the detergent they use to keep them clean...or all of the beading that my skin has rubbed against...as I am allergic to some metals (jewelry). I'm assuming I won't be allergic to the dress I got! But, if you see me scratching myself down the aisle...you will know why! :)
