Re: Dress Shopping

Wear a strapless bra, comfortable underwear, have an open mind, bring pictures of dress ideas that you like and most importantly plan on having fun. Don't let wedding planning get too stressful. You are about to plan one of the most important days of your life. Enjoy it!!

Re: Dress Shopping

Thanks so much for all the tips! I am considering going home first to get everything you mentioned!

Re: Dress Shopping

Bring the strapless bra the first time i went i had to borrow one and it was the most uncomfortable thing ever.

Bring at least 1 liter of water, I brought a small bottle and it wasn't enough. trying on dress = a workout.

Keep an open mind and try on everything. I ended up falling in love with and buying a dress which was the exact opposite of what I was looking for. So even if you are like i dont think i'll like this try it on anyway.

Bring a camera, but most places wont let you take pictures. David's Bridal does though. I even saw one girl using video recorder taping the whole thing.

Re: Dress Shopping

bring pictures of dresses you like - don't expect to find them, but at least your salesperson will know the style you like.

shave your legs!

go after you've had your period - you won't feel bloated.

Re: Dress Shopping

Bring your own shoes with heals that are easy to slip on and walk in. Were nice panties, you'll be in your birthday suit quite a bit.

It can be overwhelming. Be open minded and patient.
Good luck.
