I went dress shopping for the first time yesterday and figured it would be the first of several appointments. Well, we ended up having a great time and I fell in love with a Monique Lhuillier dress at the second shop! I'm not one to make a quick decision so I left without buying. However, this was not supposed to be "the" trip, and today I almost feel anxious about committing this early in the process, if that makes sense. Has anyone else felt this way? I am 100% a people pleaser and had previously talked with my fiance's mom and sister about doing a day with them and my mom where they live (NYC). So I guess I am wondering if anyone else has been through the situation where they find a dress they love love love, but don't want the dress shopping "process" to be over yet? If I do end up going to NYC, it would be in 1.5 months, so maybe I should just wait on purchasing the dress, go to appointments with fiance's mom, sister, and my mom, and if I still love the ML dress the best I can always order it from the original shop?
Also, the shop said that with the pandemic, lead times are running about 8-10 months, which seems like a lifetime! Has anyone else bought there dress 1.5 years before their wedding? Did you still love it after so much time has passed? Sorry for the long post I guess I'm just anxious to make such an expensive purchase and want to make sure I am thinking everything through!
