《Killer Bay》Girls' Night

"Alright, so what are we looking for?" Roxie asks as she skims the racks of white gowns, "princess? Mermaid? A-line? Short?"
Adalet hums, "not mermaid, I'm not looking for a tight dress... maybe a-line or ball gown?"
"We keep those styles over here," the bridal stylist, Randy, directed them over to another wig of the store, "are you thinking of wearing a pure white dress or something else?"
"I was thinking more of an off-white colour, or possibly silver," she answers, "too much white and I might blind people!"
He laughed, "I think your skin tone will give a nice break-up in between, but I can see you rocking a silver dress!"
"Oh!" Amy says as she pulls a dress off the rack, "what about this one, Let?"
Adalet looked at the lacy dress, "maybe... I don't know about all the lace though."
"Only way to find out is to try it on!" Randy swooped in and took the dress from Amy's hands, "I'll place this in your dressing room while you continue browsing!"
"So, have you and Fili picked a theme yet?" Heather asked.
"We don't have a real theme per se, but we have a flowers and stars thing going on," Adalet explained, "Fili's so excited to pick and design all the flower arrangements, he has almost everything planned out for our wedding."
"And the colours are red and gold, right?" she inquired.
"Yup!" she confirms, "and with it being held at the Orleans Hall in Jazz Town, we can decorate it just how we want it."
"Oh, I love that hall!" Amy squeals, "it always makes for such a nice wedding venue!"
Adalet laughed, "well the pictures we saw sure showed that! This is a nice dress."

"What about this one?" Hannah asked while holding up a short, cocktail-style wedding dress.
"Not my style," she smirked, "maybe remember it for if you get married."
She laughs, placing it back on the rack, "one wedding at a time!"
The girls continued searching and picking out wedding dresses for Adalet to try on. Once they had selected five dresses that could be the one, Randy led Adalet into her room to change. After giving her privacy to remove her clothes and put on the first dress, Randy came back inside to help her finish putting on the first dress.
The first one was the one Amy picked out. It was an ivory ball gown with long illusion sleeves, a v-neckline with a sheer bodice and layers of tulle, lace motifs, and Chantilly lace for the skirt that ended in a short train. Randy led Adalet out of the room and directed her to stand on a pedestal in front of the large mirrors.
"What do you think?" Randy asks.
Adalet examined herself in the mirror, "it's not bad, but I'm not a big fan of the sleeves or the lace along the bottom."
"And the colour isn't you," Amy added looking slightly displeased with herself.
"It was a good suggestion, Amy, and a great start," she replied smiling when she saw the younger woman beam.
Adalet and returned to the changing room and moved to put on the next dress, this one was selected by Heather. This one was an a-line dress and again had a v-neckline but this one was a deeper cut than the first one. The fabric of the dress was embroidered tulle and embellished with 3D cut flowers and petals that were secured with glass beading and sequins. It had a sheer open back and draped sleeves that reached just past her elbows.

"No," Heather immediately said once Adalet had walked out, "sorry, Adalet, it had looked better on the rack."
"It's alright Heather, you tried," Adalet replies, "but I'm starting to think I don't want a lot of lace."
"How about a little lace?" she inquired, "it looks good on you."
"Maybe a trim or just the bodice," she answered.
Next was the dress that Roxie had picked out. This one was a strapless beaded tulle ball gown with a lace corset bodice that had leaf-shaped fabric along the waist and top of the bodice. The silvery beds were sewn onto the leaf parts, and overall the dress was quite simple.
"Oh!" Roxie says as Adalet gave a twirl, "you definitely need a ball gown!"
Adalet giggled, "yeah... I like it..."
"Do you like it or do you like it?" Randy questioned.
"Hum..." she hummed, "I don't think it's the one... I don't really like all the layers of tulle."
He began ushering her to the change room, "then let's move on to another dress."
The fourth one was Hannah's pick from the rack. An off-the-shoulder, lace strapped ball gown with stacked beading embroidered throughout large floral details. The tiered skirt had banded horsehair trim that helped it to maintain a weightless volume, while decadent floral appliqués and beaded trims showered throughout the skirt's voluptuous layers.
"What do you think about this one, Adalet?" Hannah asks.
"I love the sleeve style," Adalet responded playing with the straps, "but I don't like how the skirt is layered."
"You want a single layer one?" she guessed.
She nodded, "it's still a nice dress, just not for me."
The last dress was the one that Adalet herself had picked. It was an off-the-shoulder, lace illusion sweetheart bodice with elbow-length sleeves. The bottom was a satin ball gown that fanned out into a wide train at the back.
"I miss the top of the last one," was the first thing Adalet said when she stepped out, "I like this one's bottom the most, but not the top."
"So you like the drop sleeves and sweetheart neckline, but a satin ballgown?" Randy summarized.
"Maybe with some lace or beading on the bodice and along the bottom," she added, "and a train."
He pondered in thought, "I think I know just the dress, it came in the other day and hasn't made its way out onto the floor yet, let's get you back in the dressing room then I'll go find it."
After helping Adalet out of the current dress before leaving to grab the one he had been referring to. A few moments later, he returned and helped Adalet into the dress. It had a beaded lace bodice atop an Elodie Mikado ballgown skirt and was complete with a lace train accented in crystals and a strapless deep scoop neckline with off-the-shoulder straps. The dress was finished with more crystals on the bodice, and sheer off-the-shoulder sleeves accented in beaded lace motifs.
"So... what do you think of this one?" Randy asks.
"I..." Adalet choked a little, "I love it!"
"Oh, it's perfect for you, Adalet!" Amy agreed.
"Just add a veil and you're all set!" Heather added.
Hannah nodded, "it has everything you wanted."
"This wedding is going to be awesome!" Roxie cheered.
"So... you're saying yes to this dress?" Randy asked.
Adalet smiled widely, "yes!"
