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

    I honestly don't know the number! I went once and tried on probably under 10 dresses before realizing I was comparing others to one of the first dresses I tried!

    I only tried on 1! Family hand-me-down, but I found a dress in this style and color when I was 12 years old and have been in love with it since then, so finding this dress was a dream come true Smiley heart

    Because I've been married before, I did not really want to buy a dress so I'm having one made. However, I have tried on about 6 dresses just to get an idea of what I want.

    Haven't tried a single dress yet. LOL! I plan to start trying on some dresses within the next month.

    I think I tried on 20+ dresses before finding the one that I knew would be ideal.

    Around 10. I got a feel for what I like and what I feel good in and then I found the perfect dress online.

    Pretty sure I tried on at least 20. My dress ended up being the very last dress at the 3rd shop we visited!

    Somewhere around 6-8. I went to one shop, and ended up buying the first one that I tried on.

    (Felt like I had to try on the others that I had pulled, but I immediately wanted to take them off and put the first one back on!)

    Three! I originally had a vision in mind and tried on two that slightly fit it but the bottom half being more "princessy" or ballgown-ish. Both were gorgeous, but not what I wanted. The last one I tried was exactly what I wanted and when I tried it on it was the only dress i could truly envision myself saying "I do " in.

    Haven’t tried any yet, and nervous about trying them on!! I know it will be magical, but being super insecure makes choosing hard!

    I scoured the internet to try and figure out what my dress style would be. I changed my mind so many times, but finally found the one. I ordered it and it is even better than I could have imagined. So, I only tried on 1.

    First time I was engaged (never got married) I tried on SO MANY that I can't keep track...I had like 5 or 6 3+ hour appointments.


    This time, I went to two salons, and tried on 11 or 12. I ended up the dress I had been dreaming about, so if I hadn't wanted to double check or save "the best for last" it would've been 1 dress.
