I've completed 1st round of dress shopping done between yersterday & today. I have few favorites (attaching pics here ) but I'm not sure if I've found 'The One' yet. I've tried on at least 80 dresses between 2 days. No jk. I'm plannig to visit 2-3 more shops next weekend. Am I crazy?? Question:...

    I love the first dress on you!!! Agree with PP, it looks amazing on you.

    I went to one appt, one bridal shop and it was the 3rd dress I tried on. I kept trying on more dresses but kept going back to the dress. I didn't cry, but I knew it was my dress.

    Also agreeing with PP, love love love the first dress Smiley smile

    For me, I did a lot of research online before even trying on a dress. I'm one of those people where I don't bother with going to a store if I don't need or like anything there. I ended up only going to one store and it was the third dress I tried on. Put on one more after, and knew I wanted to get back in my dress right away. Smiley smile

    Thanks everyone! Sounds like #1 is the winner Smiley smile After hearing you all, I'm loving dress #1 even more! I really do want to have the 'this is it' feeling though. I will sleep on it and go to next round of shopping and let you all know what I've decided on Smiley smile

    Honestly, I tried on 1 dress...it was the one. Granted, I had done online research as to what I was looking for and I found a local store that carried it. I walked in the door for my appt. The lady asked where we were starting. I pointed at the dress and said "That One!". She helped me in it, I stood in the room for a minute in an emotional overload, and then came out, after calming down. My MOH went with me and she was just as emotional. It's perfect and everything I ever dreamed of!!

    @alpowers1982, @Jennifer & @Jessica I'm so jelly of all of you who just knew that was 'THE ONE' after only a few dresses. I felt bad for my friend who were shopping with me yesterday & today- she looked very tired! lol

    @Chelsea I didn't cry either. So, OP don't rely on that as a deciding factor. Like Chelsea said, I couldn't stop thinking of mine when I left the store. Had to wait an agonizing week for my daughter to give a second opinion. She fell in love with it too.

    Omg! I could never try on that many lol. Two dresses in on my first trip and I found mine. I tried on a 3rd dress just to make sure my heart was set on the 2nd dress. I cried the first time i put on and when i put it on again after trying back on after the 3rd dress. It was a done deal!

    I went to three shops and tried on maybe 15 dresses! I'm definitely glad I got to see a variety!
