How many dresses have you tried on?

Some people find their dream wedding dress on the first try - but for most of us it takes a little bit longer! 😉

How many did you try on before you said “yes” to the dress?

    Roughly 8-9 I think? I only visited one shop though, and I said "Yes to the dress" on the same day!

    Somewhere between 8-12! Went to 2 different shops, a few months apart. Found my dress at the second one!

    10-ish? I had my best friend and 4 sisters with me and we each chose a dress or 2 for me to try on.

    Probably 12-15, but honestly wish I could have tried on more. I love my dress, but feel like there are other fabrics/styles I didn't get the chance to explore.

    I tried on 5 total, with the 5th being my dress! The whole appointment took less than an hour to go in, try them on, and buy it Smiley heart

    I agree which is why I don't look at wedding dresses anymore which is going to be really hard when my sister goes dress shopping.

    I feel like I tried on a ton. I went to 4 stores over many months and spent hours at each place. I was done looking when I found the perfect dress. It was not what I thought I wanted, and not like the other dresses I tried on and liked. But I could not be happier with the way it worked out!

    I think I tried on about 4 - 5. Then I had to choose between two dresses I loved!

    I think like 22, my family and especially daughter had fun picking lots of things for me to try at my first appt, mainly ball gowns which I knew my FH didn’t want. At my second appt I went with just my MOH and tried each silhouette, trying to narrow down what I wanted. The last appt I tried on like 8, but the first one I put on was the one and I knew it immediately!

    3 at the first shop, another like 4 or 5 at the second shop and 3 at the third shop. At the first shop I fell in love with a dress, but couldn’t commit cause I didn’t have everyone I wanted there with me. I ended up trying on the same dress at the 3rd shop and fell in love with it again.
