    I think I tried on close to ten. 4 or 5 at my first appointment, probably 2 or 3 more when returning my first dress, and then 3 from Azazie. The first one I tried from Azazie was the one for me!

    I think I tried on around 30 dresses between 3 different appointments. Two appointments by myself to narrow down my style and then one appointment with my parents and Mother-in-law.

    Maybe a dozen? At my first appointment I tried on either five or six. At my second appointment I tried maybe five or six. The first dress at my second appointment ended up being the dress I bought. It has straps and when I put it on it liked it, but didn't love it. I tried on a few more then the girls and my consultant had me try the first one on again and tuck in the straps as if it were strapless. Once I could imagine it the way I wanted it to be, I knew it was the one.

    I tried on about four or five but knew the first one I tried on was the one. I was “only trying them on” but ended up finding my dress.

    If I'm being completely honest I probably tried on 20+ dresses before I found mine!

    I did Smiley sad but I was able to give the first dress to a friend of mine who knew someone less fortunate who could use it.

    I went to three stores and tried roughly a dozen dresses before I found mine! I think the key is to narrow down the style and fit that you want before you go.

    Aw man, that was very nice of you! I bought my dress yesterday but my mom n sister liked a different dress which I also loved but leaned more towards my dress. It's made me doubt my decision, also doesn't help that a family member called the dress I picked out cute.

    I tried on 8 dresses before I said yes to the dress.

    I think around 4-6. I bought my dress first appointment. I had been eyeing it online for months, and it was perfect when I tried it on.

    I think I tried on about 8 dresses since I’ve been engaged. I was lucky to find my dress at the second bridal shop I stopped at (shoutout to Bridals by Lori and everyone there!).
