How many dresses did you try on before saying "yes?"

S

I thought I wanted the first dress I tried on, but then went through quite a few. I changed my mind about 3 times. I think I honestly could have worn any dress (they were all so much fun to wear, and beautiful!)

Dress 1

Dress 2

Dress 3

Oh so many! Turns out I ended up buying one that I had cut out of a magazine. I just happened to be in a bridal shop when the designer was having a trunk show! Meant to be I guess

One my first trip i tried on maybe 8-10 dresses and found what i thought was "the one" but I'm glad I held out and didnt buy then because i went for a second time today and tried on 4-5 more and found "The One"!

I went dressing shopping in June 2017... wanted to go out to see styles and what I may like. I didn't expect to find the dress of my dreams - and like you - everything I didn't want... But NOTHING compared to the dress... and when I say everyone cried - EVERYone cried... even other customers in the salon. That's when I knew it was it and there was no more reason for me to search. :-) If your heart and your vision is with you in that dress - go for it.

You should start because I waited a long time before ordering my dress and there were already a few dresses that I wanted to see and they told me that those take 6 months to come in and I did not even try them on. My wedding is May 4, 2018 and I just ordered my dress 3 weeks ago. I would highly suggest you start looking.

If you love it, then you love it! I went dress shopping with my mom and MOH and when this was the first dress I tried on... I thought to myself that there was no way the FIRST dress I put on could be the one. I was in love and so were my mom and MOH. I tried on the other 5 dresses and even the one I thought I was going to LOVE, didn't come close to how I felt about this dress. I tried on the first dress again at the end JUST to be sure, and I was! It's kind of like with dating... when you know, you know...

I went to 6 places, tried about 25-30. Found one I loved but waited 3 days before committing.

If you feel like it's the one, go for it!

I went to bridals by lori and didn't find one there. The same day, I went to Bravura and my mother picked one out. When I tried it on, I wasn't sure if it was THE one. Put on a veil and everything. So I went to the runway in the front of their store with it. Still didn't really feel it. So then she found a yellow bouquet and let me hold it and walk towards myself in the mirror and I immediately started crying. I had my moment. Went home with it that night.

I tried on 7 or 8 total, all at the same store. My dress was number 4, I kept trying on more after it but then put mine back on and knew for sure that it was mine!

View Quoted Comment That's awesome!!

I went to 4 boutiques and probably tried on 25-30. I had somewhat of a higher budget for my area ($2500) and was not impressed by any of them. They all made me feel matronly and dumb. The last one I tried on was $500 (couldn't believe the store I was at even carried one for such a low price) and it was perfect!

I lost count! I think it was somewhere between 30-40 dresses between 7 shops. Yesterday I finally picked my dress! My FSIL suggested I try it on and I didn't have the highest hopes because it was totally NOT what I thought I wanted. And then POW! I knew it was the one. For me it was about the journey that lead me to the dress and since I tried on so many I don't think I'll have dress regret later on.

My dress that I chose was my 6th dress that I tried on, but I had another appointment afterwards that i went to and tried on many many more! But I couldn't stop thinking about that one dress, so I went back and bought it after that appointment was over!

I thought I had found the one on day one. So glad I decided to keep looking! Never wanted a train until day three when I tried on this one!

I went with my 5th dress and bought it that day. It was absolutely perfect and fit my theme exactly.

I went to one salon, tried on 5 dresses and I chose the 3rd one I tried on. It's crazy when people say "you will know when you put it on", and that is the case. Nothing compared to that dress I fell in love.

20. It was the 17th dress I tried on. Tried on 3 after that and went back to it.

I agree.

I went to one place and it was an off the rack bridal shop (wonderful place, wonderful experience, amazing prices). I had a pretty good idea of what I was looking for, so when I went to the rack, I picked two out instantly that I knew I liked without a second thought. The first dress I pulled off the rack was the first one I tried on and the one I bought. I fell in love with it the moment I put it on. However, I still tried on around 16 more dresses after that one. I also tried a ball gown for fun, which I knew I definitely didn't want. I kept going back to that very first one I picked out and tried on.

I didn't find it necessary to 'sit on it' after trying on so many dresses. To me, 17 is a lot and each one still wasn't comparing to the first one. I knew right away and I am very happy with my decision.

1 store, 5 dresses. Left after feeling overwhelmed and hungry lol Couldn't stop thinking about the very 1st dress I tried on. Went back that evening and bought it!
