Re: How did you find ur dress
i passed by a store near my dad's that looked nice so i made an appointment. i found a dress that i loved (aka the dress i bought) but continued to look in a few other places.
But when I had a dream about this dress from the first store (Priscilla of Boston), my dad said, that's it. I think you found your dress. So I tried it on again and didn't want to take it off!!!!

Re: How did you find ur dress
I did a search for my fave designer online (Maggie) & narrowed it down...it was the 2nd dress I tried on & after trying on 20-30 more I came back to my first choice.

I knew I liked Demetrios gowns but I didnt look specifically for them when I went shopping. I looked through the racks and had ones pulled off that I liked. The one I ended up getting was the first one I tried on and I LOVE IT!

Re: How did you find ur dress
I am actually using my mother's wedding dress...
It was something special she wanted to do and she kept it preserved all these years!
I am going to clean it of course and then bring it to a bridal salon to have it altered and totally changed to the style I want...
I am actually kind of excited about it!
and my mom is happy!

AS friend of mine actually found it online for me. After she showed me I saw it in every magazine and fell in love with it.

Re: How did you find ur dress
I just went to a couple of different bridal places and tried on dresses. I had found a dress online that I loved and when I went to the store to try it on it did not look good on me. I ended up choosing something that I never thought I would wear.

The sales associate in the bridal salon found it for me. It had just come out that week and she thought it would look nice on me. I fell in love with it but kept looking. Ultimately, I bought it and wore it on my wedding day.

Re: How did you find ur dress
I went to two different bridal salons and tried everything. I turned out leaning toward something I thought I DIDN'T want, a strapless dress. I found a dress at my third shop, Adrienne's in Islip, which is strapless (I'm adding spaghetti straps), it's an A-line but not ballgowon type, almost sheath-like with a sweep train. It looked and felt right and I knew that was it.

Re: How did you find ur dress
I did a massive internet search. I searched through Maggie Sottero, Eve of Milady, Justin Alexander, Vera Wang, Alfred Angelo, Private Label by G, Impression, Jasmine, and a bunch of others. I found two dresses that I really really liked, and 3 others that I thought were OK (only one of which I actually tried on - couldn't find the others locally). I went to 4 bridal shops total, tried on about a two dozen other dresses. I bought the first one I tried on, that I fell in love with during my online search.

That was my experience too. Gerri at Lillette's showed me a few, I liked my dress on the hanger a lot and tried it on first. It was perfect! I tried on a bunch of other dresses but didn't like any as much.

Re: How did you find ur dress
I was limited due to the placement of a tattoo between my shoulder blades so the salesperson was only able to show me about 5 dresses. The one I ended up with I had already seen on the knot. I didnt ask for it though as I didnt think we could afford it but despite what everyone say about Bridal Reflections, they got me a great price knocking about $700 off.

Re: How did you find ur dress
I had an idea of what I wanted. All I did was spend hours in a bridal salon trying on every type and design made. I actually picked out a dress I really thought I wouldn't like. I just fell in love with it!!!!
