How many dresses did you try on until you found the one?

Malika, on February 29, 2020 at 9:07 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 18
I have been to 3 bridal stores and I have one more appointment coming up. I have 2 dresses that I really like but I’m not sure if I LOVE one of them. How many dresses did you try on before you found THE dress?

    I want to say I tried on 5 or 6 and then tried on the one I ultimately bought a second time to confirm that was it.

    I had 2 appointments and tried on 6 or 7 at each. In the end i fell in love with the very last dress i tried on at the second appointment, but up until then I was ready to keep on trying at as many salons as necessary. I think that until you find a dress you truly love, and you can see yourself walking down the aisle in, don’t settle and keep trying on as many as you want! The other thing i’ll say is, if you seem to really like a dress, they’ll put you in a veil and even give you a fake bouquet to hold, which will make so many people you’re with emotional because they love the idea of seeing you as a bride (this is a good thing!). But if they do this and you don’t feel it 100%, you can still say no!

    I went to 2. The 2nd was a bridal show where they have sample sales snd and you get great prices. I got lucky I found the one after trying 5 dresses at the bridal show. It was dress #3 and I wasn't completely sure it was the one till i put it back on. The dress was $3100. I got it for $1450.00. I definitely recommend bridal shows. You'll know it's the one because you'll feel it. I definitely had my bridal moment.

    I went to 4 stores. I found a few I really liked, but after I tried on the "one" I went to another store and everything I tried on I compared to that dress. That's how I knew it was the one.

    I tried on maybe a total of 15 dresses in total. I fell in love with the one i ended up going with the first time i went shopping and every other dress i tried on just didn’t live up to it! I even went to other stores but didn’t love any of them. I got lucky and went back to the first store i went to and the designer had a trunk show. I was able to try on other dresses from that designer for their new collection but even the representative from that designer knew that original dress was the one lol. I also ended up saving 20% for the trunk show. Can’t beat that!!

    I didn't know what i wanted go into it eve anfter looking on Pinterest for days and days. I first went to David's bridal and tried on 6 dresses amd that didn't work out too well. Then I went to a boutique and that experience was a lot better. I tried on another 6 there before finding the one. And for me I'm not a dress girl and didn't think I would have that moment but I certainly did. Good luck to you!!

    I fell in love with the very first one I tried on. Once I had it on I knew it was the one🥰 Dress shopping for me was pretty easy, which is a surprise because I am picky lol
