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

    I tried about 14 dresses on at 2 different salons (same day). My dress was the 10th dress I tried on at the first salon (and the last one at that salon)

    I tried on 8 at the first salon I went to. I knew #3 was my dress but tried on a few to make sure I got the whole experience and to make sure my mom felt like she got the experience as well. I definitely had my this is it moment!

    For my big November wedding, 15-20. For my small emergency (FMIL received a stage 4 cancer diagnosis and we want to make sure she is around for it) probably about 30... I do not have an off-the-rack body lol.

    I think I went to 3-4 stores and tried on about 6 at each so maybe 20-25 dresses. I found my dress on the first day at the first store but went shopping a bit more before I went back and got my dress.

    4 dresses all on the same day. I love my dress but I have to admit I did feel rushed from family during that process I would have loved to try on more at different locations even though I looking online I couldn’t find anyone that better suited my budget. It wasn’t even the type of dress that I was looking for but I told my daughter that she could pick one out for me to try on and it was the one that I got the best reaction from others and it made me feel princess-y 😍😂

    I've tried none so far. Should probably get onto it soon! I guess it's because the dress isn't too much of a big deal to me.

    I think about a dozen or so, and found the one I loved in the middle. We kept trying on because my mom wanted to make sure I didn't love anything else.... I didn't Smiley smile

    I had to try on a all sorts of dresses thinking I wanted a certain type of dress. Ended up with what I would say was a hasty choice in a mermaid style, decided against this shape. My final "one" is a dreamy a-line with lots of tulle.

    I've tried on about 6! I think the 4th dress I tried on ended up being the one!

    I think I tried on about 10. I ended up finding my dress when we went BACK to Davids Bridal a week after my appointment to find a dress for my mom lol

    The shop I went to made me pull 5 to try but after the first one I kept comparing all the others to the first. The shop owner goes, "so it's the first one then". No regret here!
