I was originally looking to spend only a few hundred on my dress, seeing as I will only be wearing it for one day, but I saw the Catalina CW2513 dress and just fell in love. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I just so happen to be looking at it around their Black Friday sale and the got dress for around $850 less than usual, so how could I not go for it? The dress arrived (in Ontario, Canada) much earlier than expected (if I remember, it was around 2 weeks early) and it was just perfect. Beautiful detail, made well, and I am so happy I went for it. Truly could not be happier with it. It was definitely a little scary buying it without seeing it in person or getting to try it on (no salon's out here carry it), but I read reviews and saw mid-size women like me in their dresses online and 100% do not regret it.
