Do you show people your dress?

Random thought... Do you show people your dress when they ask? Or are you keeping it a total surprise? (This doesn't count FH/FW of course) Personally, I don't mind showing people mine. I think that when I'm all done up in hair, makeup, veil, and accessories it's completely different, so I don't...

Personally, I don't mind showing people mine. I think that when I'm all done up in hair, makeup, veil, and accessories it's completely different, so I don't mind people knowing what my dress looks like.

What about you guys?!

    I've shown the dress to close family and friends who are helping with ideas and inspiration for the wedding. I also showed his mother. That's it.

    I don't have a dress yet (too soon) but I've shown pictures of some ideas to a few people, including my FI. Lol. It's going to be so hard keeping it from him once I have one.

    The only people that have seen what mine looks like are my mom and sister who came with me to pick it, and even then it didn't look like it will when its all done since I am having a keyhole back and a small crinoline added to it, and in the shop they just had the pieces kind of pinned to me lol. Other than that no one has seen more than the stock photo on the website.

    I have shown almost all of my coworkers and most of my friends. FMIL loves teasing FH that she has seen it and he hasn't lol.

    I've showed those who won't be in attendance the shots of the dress off the designer's site, but that's it. I'm not typically big into being any sort of dressed up, so I definitely want the full surprised effect for the guests in attendance.

    I've shown anyone that asked. We are having a small DW, so most people won't be there. My mom showed everyone. She was super excited about it. I did not show my stepdad, FH or brother though. I don't plan on showing any of them before the wedding either.

    I really wish I hadn't showed some people. I love my dress so much and I am so excited I found it.. so I get excited and show people. And I also show FH everything and I've been so tempted to show him my dress. I haven't.. but I have showed some people in front of him and their reactions build up suspense for him. But I don't plan on showing anyone else.

    I've shown most of my really close friends and family, which includes basically my bridesmaids, both my parents and my fh's mom, grandma, and sister, and a couple people outside that. I've been trying to keep it sort of a secret, but I'm just too excited!

    I've shown everyone BUT the FH...which I guess doesn't even really matter because he wants to do a "first look" with the photographer there anyway...
