Dress Shopping- was anyone scared/nervous?

Original post by 2006bride2be

Hi! This is my 1st post!

I am going dress shopping next week and am sooooo nervous! I have never enjoyed shopping for any kind of dress. I am 5'0' - so nothing ever fits right to begin with...and I am hoping to lose some weight before my wedding next year. (It doesn't help that there is food everywhere this week!) I think I am so afraid that I am not going to have that magic moment where I find 'the' dress - but I am just going to be upset that I don't find anything I feel good in.

Has anyone gone through this before? Am I just being nervous for no reason?

HELL YES!!! I was super nervous shopping and then when I finally purchased my dress I came out of the store heart racing, breath heavy and hands shaking . . . sorry if I alarmed you but its the truth!

OMG I was sooo nervous going dress shopping. More for the fact that I thought the people in the dress shop would treat me rudely because I'm a plus-sized bride...but also because I was afraid I wouldn't find anything. Turned out ok though, everyone was friendly and I eventually found my dress!

It depends on the staff at the shop - the first shop I went to, the woman was so snotty, I didn't want anything to do with her. It made me nervous for my next experience, but the lady was so sweet, she made me feel at ease immediately!



I had the same kind of experience!!!!!!!!!!!


HATED the first dress shop, found my dress at the second ... all it takes sometimes is a kind, helpful, patient, non-judgemental bridal consultant.

ETA: this is a REALLY old post! Oh well ....
