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

    I think I might have the record... zero! I got my dress from a secondhand website and knew it was the one from photos (and measurements). I had my “yes to the dress” try-on moment a few days later at my parents’ house.

    I tried on about seven or eight dresses. Only one appointment and I found the one! I was originally going with this company called Anomalie, but turned out too expensive and I found something nicer looking and cheaper at David’s Bridal. Going to put my down payment on September 6th!

    More than 50. My weird gremlin-shaped body was not made for wedding dresses and I still didn’t love the way I looked in my gown.

    I think 24! I didn’t know what style I liked. I tried on so many to decide exactly what I liked. I went to 4 different bridal stores and found the perfect one! Excited for it to come!

    I only went to one dress store but tried on twenty-something dresses. We were there for nearly 4 hours and I was exhausted by the time we left. I did find my dress though.

    None. I ordered my dress and it’s going to be it cause I loathe trying on any clothes.

    So, I went to two different bridal shops. One was Schone Bridal in Brooklyn, NY where I found my "almost" dress. She has the most beautiful selections and I recommend it. However, I went to Kleinfeld Bridal in NYC a few weeks later and found my actual dress. Altogether, I tried on 13 dresses. I only came out to show my family about 8.

    I said yes to the first one I tried from a vintage store downtown. It was the day before my appointment at a bridal shop and I went in to look around (not for a dress) and found it. It fit me perfectly and I was so happy I didnt have to go through the stress of trying on a lot.

    I tried on 8 and picked number 5 that day!
    We went to two shops in one day and left with... I can’t even say my dream dress because it’s NOT AT ALL what I was anticipating, but I LOVE IT!

    I tried on 11 dresses during my first appointment! It was overwhelming but I tried on a variety of silhouettes and narrowed down to the ones I liked. My second appointment I tried on 6 dresses and said yes to the dress!

    I tried on at least 7-8 I originally found my dress online but the consultant never brought that dress in it too the manager to find the dress. It was the dress I tried and I instantly know it was the one I fell in love with online Smiley smile I went to one store and said yes the same day

    I tried on 7 or 8. I was feeling really discouraged and called my sister. She told me to try on a dress I’d never choose. I did and it was PERFECT for me!
