Dress Shopping

I know it's early......But I am soooooooooo meticulous and know what I want. So I venturing into the city in Nov. and going dress shopping. Let the diet begin ha ha ha ha. But seriously, I am so exited. Any advice

i went twice already months ago and i am going this next month to buy my dress - its never too early!

okay here is my advice: bring a camera in case they let you take pictures, bring some pictures of gowns you like - for some reason these places dont like to show you gowns! - dont let them make you feel like you have to buy a dress NOW or it will disappear that is usually garbage! - if you have a strapless bra wear it! otherwise you have to wear the store one ( EW, i just pulled my straps down on my bra) wear full underwear so you dont moon the lady. . .bring deodorant bc it rubs off on the dresses lol

i see you are going to the city but i have to rave about LIllette's in Baldwin - the only place i had FUN trying on dresses!

ETA: GOOD LUCK!

Very Good Advise!

I can't wait to start dress shoping.

I want to start next year, I'm tired of people telling me that it's too early to do anything

I went dress shopping yesterday. . .and I always imagined it being a wonderful experience. Unfortunately, it wasn't=( The dress I loved in the magazine. . .didn't look like the one in person!!! (yuk!) and it is difficult to get the look when the dress is 10 sizes too big! Do they have smaller dress sizes to try on? I went to Macy's . . .the ppl there weren't too nice. . .so hopefully my next experience will be better=)

hahaha so i guess i shouldnt wear a thong????

I havnt gone dress shopping yet, but i have a good idea that i want something tight and form fitting...thats if i still am thin in 2008...anything can happen in 2 years right? I am a very shy modest person, Do the salesgirls have to be in the room when im undressing??? im scared

omg i had the same experience except all the dresses were too small so they had to pin it in the back...how are you supposed to get the real look of the dress ?????????
and i have not been to one place yet that was nice !

I haven't been to a place yet where they were in the room while I was undressing. Maybe it's because I always brought a friend for assistance. I'm sure they're just as happy not to have to see me in my underwear as I am not to let them

I went to Fantasia Bridal in Rocky Point(?). They were very sweet there. My friend who's getting married also went with me and they were very excited to dress up two brides.

don't feel bad they had to do the same thing for me. Everyone says those dresses are too big. I say they're not big enough for an 'average' sized girl!

Really? I have only heard terrible things about Davids. Thanks for that update. I will so try them when I start my looking.

For anyone coming to the city. I hear that RK bridal is the place to go. It is like a warehouse (So I hear) but tons and tons of dresses to pick from. I also heard that there is not appointment needed.

Do you need to make an appointment at davids?

So many people have laughed at me saying that I am going too soon...but some of the salons that I have been calling have told me that depending on the designer of the dress....it could take more than a year to order.....so whan someone laughs at you ladies, don't listen ,,,,,,just try on....and as many as you want
