Dress Shopping
I went dressing shopping for the first time today. I've been very anxious about trying on dresses because I'm a plus size bride but I couldn't be more happy with the experience I had today. I went to Paradise Bridal (which I know has mixed reviews) and the ladies were so sweet. They didn't immediately bring me over to the plus size rack. When the appointment began and I told the girl what I wanted she immediately thought of a dress for me and I wound up loving the first dress I tried on. I tried on 5 other dresses and at the end of the appointment there was no push to sell me a dress, in fact she didnt even bring it up, she asked if there was anyone else I'd like to come and see the dress first.
I wound up going to bridal suite in centereach which was nice but the service wasn't as good and then I went to the bridal salon at Macy's in the smith haven mall and the women I got was very awkward and didn't make me feel comfortable at all. She immediately walked straight to the plus size section. I tried on two dresses and when I told her I didn't like the second dress and I wasn't ready to make a decision she kept pushing for this one other dress that I told her in the beginning I didn't like. Then she said how would i know without trying it on and I insisted I didn't like it. She then pointed to a dress hanging up and said that one is nice but I would have to clip you because it wouldnt close (it sounded like it would ruin her day to have to go to all the trouble of clipping a dress). Anyway I'm not letting that ruin my experience I found a dress I love but I think I'm going to shop around a little bit more just to make sure it's the one.
