How many dresses did you try on?

MissToMrs, on November 11, 2016 at 7:22 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 89

Tomorrow I am going wedding dress shopping for the first time! I'm hoping that I'll find the dress tomorrow but at the same time I'm nervous that if I do, I won't want buy it because I found it at the first bridal boutique I went to. How many dresses did you try on before you found your wedding dress? Do you wish you had looked at more dresses before you made your decision?

    I found my dress at my first appointment and was nervous about how soon I found it, so I feel where you're coming from.

    I wasn't ready to commit so I went to two other stores, but every dress I tried after that first appointment I kept comparing to that one dress.

    Took about 4 dresses at the first store to find it, and another 9 I tried on at the two other stores to really decide that that dress was my dress.

    I tried on probably 7-8 my first trip, the 3rd dress I tried on was the one. My mom convinced me to go one more time before she would buy my dress because she wanted me to be sure. I tried on 3-4 dresses the second time, all of them purely awful and the ladies were so rude about everything.

    I went to two stores. The first one wasn't the best experience and I felt the stylist didn't really listen to what I wanted but the second location was twenty times better. I found my dress there. It was one of the last ones I tried on and I'm glad I kept going because I almost decided on a different one.

    Probably a solid 15. I was the last time slot of the day for my appointment so I ran late. The consultant just kept bringing me dresses!

    Sometimes I see dresses on here that I LOVE and were basically exactly what I was looking for.

    But then I look at the photos of me in my dress and remind myself that I picked it for a reason and I loved it when I put it on!

    I tried on 10 dresses, and mine was the 10th that I put on. I had a wonderful, patient, knowledge consultant who allowed me to pick out the first 8 and then went around and picked some for me. I don't have any regrets because my experience was wonderful!

    I went to 4 stores and tried on probably close to 30 dresses. There were some I liked but I wasn't in love with them. I was getting discouraged until the lovely consultant pulled a brand new dress on the floor for me that I hadn't seen. As soon as she started to do up the back of the dress I was getting butterflies and couldn't stop smiling. I walked out and my mom and sister started crying lol I didn't want to take it off! I look at the picture every day. I have no interest in looking for other dresses or feelings of thinking there might be something out there. It's the one for me!

    I found my dress at the second bridal shop I went to. I tried on 4 dresses at the first place then at he second place it was the second dress I tried on and loved it. I kept trying on more throughout the appointment because I was nervous to say yes in case there was something even better out there. Each time I put on another dress I immediately took it off knowing it wasn't as great. I loved trying on the dresses so I was sad for the dress search to be over but when you know you know. You can always keep trying on dresses for peace of mind and then go back to the first dress if you really loved it

    1! After I ordered it online. (No BHLDN stores around me, and could return if I didn't like it)

    I tried on 8 or 9. I'm usually indecisive but I was really decisive and picked a dress I never would have imagined for myself!

    More than 20 probably. I tried on at least 10 at my first appointment and I didn't like any of them. The consultant didn't understand what I was looking for I guess.

    Second appointment I tried on a lot, too, cause they actually figured out what I was looking for and had tons of dresses to put me in. I had a feeling about a certain one so I saved it for last and it was perfect!

    I think I tried on 7 dresses. It was number 5 but I kept trying to just to make sure. I stopped after that so I wouldn't get dress regret. Even after my wedding I am still in love with my dress.
