Re: dress shopping question
yes! at my last fitting where I said Yes to the dress. My mother, MOH and one of my BM saw me 1/2 naked b/c it was a big dressing room. Then the sales lady made me take my bra off b/c she said it would look better without it. and she started adjusting my boobs lmao. It was awkward but I guess she knew what she was doing.

Re: dress shopping question
Yes you are.......but for me it wasn't like you could wear anything nice becuase they gave me a strapless bra and also a slip which i put both of them on before they came in the room with me....

Re: dress shopping question
Yess, you are. At Kleinfelds she asked if I had a strapless bra and I said yes, I'm wearing it and she started pulling the dress off the hanger and told me to get undressed. So awkward at first but they see so many girls. Not to mention my FSIL was in the room too. Definitely glad I didn't wear something that showed my entire @ss! So make sure you've got cute boyshorts or something.

Re: dress shopping question
I wore my strapless and a pair of seamless undies. I'm also not that modest so I don't have such a problem with it, they're so used to all this stuff.

Re: dress shopping question
i highly recommend boy shorts. most places will have corset strapless bras for you to use but definitely wear something to cover your bum. i was embarassed at my first fitting and then was just like whatever after that. the ladies fitting you have seen it all and then some.

Re: dress shopping question
If you go to Helen's (where the CB dress I posted was!) they gave me the dresses to get into in privacy, alone, in the dressing room. You will def need help zipping so your backside may be exposed a bit at times but NO ONE was in there with me while I was fully exposed!!
On the other hand, Wedding Center in Commack made me open the door in my bra and panties after every dress, to hand out the dress I was wearing and take a new one. It was bizarre and awkward and I hated it.
Bridal Elegance in Huntington, the consultant stayed in the dressing room with me.

Re: dress shopping question
Yes you are, majority of salons make the consultant help you try on the dresses. I just wore my strapless bra there and a pair of boyshort undies. The only place that didn't do this was David's Bridal & Bridal Garden. They let my friends in the room with me to help me change.

Re: dress shopping question
YES! I wore a whole getup because I didn't want to see any lines when I was trying on dresses, I had the strapless bra with my spanx, the consultants are usually very amused.

Re: dress shopping question
so far the only place where the woman was helping me in and out was at bridal reflections! the other three i had my sister, mom or MOH help but it was fine, the consultants are so used to it.

Re: dress shopping question
I wore a strapless bra and my nude sucker-inner high waisted undies thing. You know, kinda like Spanx but a bit more 'everyday' and from Target.
I was not into the idea of just stripping with her there, but at some point once I was sweating and semi annoyed, I was like EFFFF it. lol

Re: dress shopping question
Oh yes, they're definitely in there with you. Most of them step out though if you need to switch to a strapless bra, etc.

Re: dress shopping question
OMG my coworker just gave me the best idea!!!!
i'm gonna get a pair of panties and use my iron on paper and have them say 'STOP LOOKING!' or something like that on my butt lol

I only tried on dresses at two places, but it was a similar experience at both. I had the salesperson with me in the room with my mom, gram, MOH and BM outside waiting. I think I would have been more embarrassed having all of them in the room, but didn't mind the woman seeing me since it's what she does all day. The most important thing to remember is to make sure your feet are on the floor! The dresses I tried on were SO long and I would have went flying if she would have started pulling the dress up with me standing on it.
