Who saw/has seen your dress?

So I bought my dress last weekend!! Needless to say I am THRILLED with it, and can't wait to show it off. I won't be showing FW my dress until the wedding day, but wasn't sure who all I DID wants to see the dress. Who are you all showing/not showing, and why?

    It's totally up to you. I haven't bought mine yet, but every time I've gone shopping, I've asked only my mom and bridal party to come (I have a small party, and one lives out of state). Only those people have seen me in any of them, besides pictures to a select few. If you don't want to show it to more people, you can just politely say that you want it to be a surprise for the wedding day. Smiley smile

    I showed my dad, granny and step-mom (the three that went with me shopping) and my mother, sister, FMIL, and my other 2 bridesmaids.

    I show everyone who asks to see it except my dad and FH lol. I'm doing a first look with my dad, so I want that to be special and FH doesn't want to see it Smiley smile

    Female family members, bridal party, and a few co-workers that will not be attending the wedding but asked about my dress.

    I've shown people who asked. Mostly FW's family because we want to make sure our dresses are going to look okay together and she hasn't gone shopping yet

    I showed my three bridesmaids, my mom and FH's mom. They were all sworn to secrecy.

    Oh, and one of the girls I work with has seen it because she came with me when I picked it up and the first try on. None of "my people" live in New York with me so it was nice to have someone come along for the moment.

    I got my dress last weekend too! My mom and dad saw it on me. FH saw a photo of me in it long ago because I really didn't expect to buy this dress at the time. Mom is sworn to secrecy. Not so confident she will keep her mouth shut.

    My mom, my dad, and my bestie. That's it. I like the element of surprise.

    I show like everyone I can, but we're having a smaller wedding so the only people that will come to the wedding who has seen it is my mom siblings and my bridesmaids

    I didn't mind showing my dress to my MIL, coworkers or other people who asked, pretty much as long as DH didn't see it I didn't care!

    @red2018 aww! Love the idea of a first look with dad. My sister, who came to the appointment with me, sent a pic to my dad and mom before I could say otherwise, but I may keep him out of any more of the details and have a little element of surprise for him as well. Thanks for that idea!

    My mom and a friend are the only other people who have seen it in person, and I've showed a picture to my bridesmaids!

    I show anyone who asks if I got my dress yet. I think it's one thing to see a picture of it and completely another to see it on the bride with all the accessories and hair/make up. The only people I refuse to show are FH, my dad (although I think my mom did even though I asked her not to) and my FIL.

    Only my mom, MOH and one of my FSIL's has seen every detail, FBIL's wife and an aunt who's like a 2nd mom to me have seen only a pic of me and MOH with 3 different fabrics (went together to choose the fabrics for my dress and MOH's wedding dress and mom took a pic of us, I'm holding her fabric she's holding mine and we had a 3rd one we both like, if anyone sees it won't know which is which), but the design itself only MOH and mom... I don't even trust my 2nd FSIL with the secret so she'll just have to see it with the rest of the guests (she'll definitely spill it to FH without realizing it)
