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

    Around 6 dresses. None seem to have been to one. Luckily I have much more time and stores to go to!

    Honestly, I don't know.
    I was engaged once before and I got a dress for that engagement, so I tried on a bunch, then.

    This time, I went with 3 friends to a pop-up shop and they treated me like a doll - they just kept throwing dresses on me until we all cried.

    Best guess over 2 different times, then? 20? Mayyyybe?

    Hi! I still have them both! The two of them are just hanging out together in my spare closet. One of my girls that was with the night I found my dream dress (I knew it was the one before I even walked out of the dressing area and seen myself in the mirror, probably knew even before the rude dress lady had the back zipped and buttoned up lol... sorry for rambling on & on), so anyways she suggested that I could wear the dream dress for the ceremony and the one I had previously purchased for the reception. It crossed my mind but I keep thinking as hard of a time and how tiring this whole “find the dream dress” experience has been for me by gosh I am going to wear that dang dream dress all freakin’ night long! Hell for that trouble and not to mention you only get to wear it the one time... So that’s what I am going to do!! Oh and I am selling the other two dresses.

    I tried on about 6 or so. I loved one but I didn’t want to spend that much on a dress I would only wear once. I loved trying on dresses but it was also stressful because the consultations aren’t the most helpful around here. The funny thing is that I made appointments for trying on dresses at multiple places but in the end I ordered a dress from one of the bridal shops catalogues and didn’t even try it on first. It’s odd how that worked out.

    About 10. I didn’t like any of them, I became frustrated and will most likely where a plain white dress.

    I went to 2 different bridal shops and tried on a total of 12 dresses. I found my dress at the second shop. It was dress #3 out of the 5 I tried at that shop.

    I was engaged once before, and I tried on close to 30. I didn't realize until 10 months before the wedding that it's because my relationship wasn't right.

    This time I tried on under 10, but I had one dress in mind the whole time, and I used the rest to double check. I actually picked the dress I had in mind; it ended up being the right one!

    Sometimes you gotta kiss some frogs and try on a ton of dresses

    I've tried on a small handful of dresses. Maybe between 5 and 8.

    4. I fell in love with the first one- the rest were kind of anticlimactic. I had my first fitting last week- I was really nervous I haven’t seen my dress since October and I stopped showing pictures to anyone on Jan 1. I loved it even more this time. I can’t wait until it’s nipped and ticked and the right length without the clips. ❤️❤️❤️

    I tried on probably 35 dresses (at least) before I found my dress! Nothing I tried on was exactly what I pictured until I found my dream dress!
