Dress advice needed!

Keep in mind there are also places that can do custom work for much cheaper than you'd expect. Dont be afraid to try on a top of one with the bottom of the other. I didnt end up needing this as I ended up finding my dress online and am adding sleeves to it but there are so many options. If you find something that is close to what you want, you might want to ask about the tweaks that can make you love or loath a dress. Maybe now that you've seen what you like on you, you can also try on dresses from online places like azazie (i believe they have a $15 plus shipping trial system). I'd recommend forming your opinion on a dress before asking other people. You dont want to exclude others opinions but make sure its something you are happy with first and foremost.

Omg! I felt the same way dress shopping. I must've tried on about 15 dresses and none of them felt like me, although I tried on every style and cut and shape. I always imagined myself in a ballgown, but when I tried one on, it didn't make me feel bridal at all, but more like a princess. I ended up going with a fit and flare (as you've seen from my discussion) and when i said yes to it, i didn't have that big bridal moment everyone talks about. I knew it was the one because this dress is the very very first ever wedding dress I tried on, but I had not said yes to it when i first tired it on because it was the very first dress i tired on. After about 5 visits to other salons, I saw the dress on the rack at my last visit and had to try it back on. I did not want to take it off, nor try anything else and that's how I knew it was the one.

My advice? I know it might be really hard esp when other people are sharing their opinions, but STICK TO WHAT YOU WANT, and what you picture yourself in. At the end of the day, it is your wedding day and your moment to shine. Have faith in yourself. It is best to say yes to something you love with all of your heart, than to say yes to a dress that someone had to convince you to say yes too, because you will always question if you made the right decision. Take a little bit of time to clear your head and do not look at pics of the dresses, then once you've realize what you wanted, look at the pictures and start eliminating. Also, do not look for a dress that matches the picture in your head. Instead, make note of things you don't like when you try on a specific dress. Like if you don't like lace, do not try on anymore dress, etc.

Good luck and stay calm!
