Re: Dress Shopping

Yes! Bring a strapless bra, and keep an open mind! You never know what you will like on you. I never thought I'd get strapless, but that is the style that looked best on me. Also, have fun!!

Re: Dress Shopping

Bring your camera (gotta try), some snacks and water, and wear comfy clothes since you'll be in and out of them.

Re: Dress Shopping

Bring a friend who tells the truth. Someone you can trust and loves you but won't be jealous.

Re: Dress Shopping

Keep an open mind. Just because you don't like it on the hanger, doesn't mean you won't like it on you.

Re: Dress Shopping

Try on a bunch of different styles, even if you don't think it will look good on you.

Yes, I forgot that one. Bring your camera because some places are nice and will let you take pics.

Re: Dress Shopping

Also, ask the sales lady to pick dresses she thinks will look good on you in your price range. They can have a great eye for this, since they have so much experience.

Re: Dress Shopping

Bring someone whose opinion you trust, a camera, and water. And be open to try on stuff that you usually wouldn't pick - you never know! Good luck, and have fun!

Re: Dress Shopping

Yes to all of the above.... and dont' go to like 8 places in one day. it gets overwhelming. I foudn I forgot about some of the dresses I tried on. When you only go to one or two places at a time it makes it a lot easier to make a decision,

Re: Dress Shopping

Definitely have a budget. Make sure you don't tell them the sky is the limit! Or else the limit will be the sky!

This is SO true. I thought the bridal shop would have something to drink, but they didn't have anything. I was like a camel for the rest of the day.
