David's Bridal

Gloria, Cammie and I were sitting in the lobby of David's Bridal waiting for the wedding dress consultant to come out and greet us. She was finishing up with another client so we waited. 15 minutes later she came out and shook each of our hands.
"Hello you must be the blushing bride to be. My name is Kim and I'll be helping you out with picking out a wedding dress," she said.
"Yes I am. I'm Violet and this is Cammie my maid of honor and Gloria my matron of honor," I said.
"Will they be picking out their dresses as well?" Kim asked.
"Yes they will," I said.
"Okay let's get started with the bride's dress first and then the maids dresses last." Kim said as she showed us to the dressing room. It had walls lined with mirrors.
"I have several dresses picked out for you already. All the dresses are summer dresses that have small straps or are strapless," Kim said as she gave me the first dress. I went to try it on. A few minutes later I came out and looked in the mirrors. It was okay. Cammie gave me a thumbs down and Gloria stuck her tongue out at it.
"What you have on is the strapless dress and judging from the looks I'm getting it's not the one," Kim said.
"Yeah I'm not feeling this design at all. Next dress please," I said as she gave me another one. And another one and another one until I was trying on the ninth dress Kim picked out for me. I came out and took one look in the mirror and loved it. It had spaghetti straps and a nice bodice with blue flowers flowing down the side of it and a nice train in the back with blue flowers floating on it. It was beautiful.
"That's the dress Violet! It looks so good on you!" Cammie said as Gloria agreed with her.
"I do love this dress, it's simple, like me. I'll take it!" I said as Kim went to get her tape measure to take measurements.
As soon as the measurements were done we went to look at the bridesmaid dresses. Cammie and Gloria were looking at the dresses and I was trying to make suggestions but they ignored me.
After they tried on nearly ten dresses they finally decided on spaghetti straps and long flowing dresses with a fold in the bodice kind of like my dress. The color was a pretty periwinkle blue.
After measurements were done we left the store and went out to lunch.
"Those dresses were real pretty like the dresses they wear in the movies," Cammie said sipping her drink.
"Yeah they're real pretty just like your dress Violet. It was really charming," Gloria said.
"Yeah thanks guys. I really love my dress and your dresses too. They're perfect for an outdoor wedding," I said as we ate our lunch and talked about the wedding.
