Is this true? (Dress question) UPDATE more ??

A friend told me that when you go dress shopping, you are allowed about an hour in the store, and they let you try on about 6 dresses.

I have my first appts. this Saturday, and I hope this is not the case!!!

both times i went to lilettes i was there for about 2 hours and i tried on a ton of dresses. im sure it's true for some places, but not for all! if you go to lilettes, make your appointment with gerri, she is the best!

Some stores do make 1 hr appts., but not all of them. Chances are even if they do make appts for just an hour, if theyre not busy they'll let you keep trying on dresses.

I think it depends on the store. Some stores I went to wanted to get rid of me in 45 minutes bc it was a Saturday. Another store didn't care if I was there all day!

I went to Paradise Bridal in Patchogue and they didn't give me any problems about the amount of time or # of dresses

Okay, thanks girls. I thought it was kind of random, and I figured some stores might try and get you out quick, but, not ALL of them.

kleinfelds appointments are 90 mins. However i was able to stay for two hours, the reason why i think is bc my appointment was at 4:30, and obviously they weren't gonna give the lady who helped me an appointment after me bc the place closed at 6:30 so there wasn't time for someone else so i was able to stay until they closed

I don't think its true for either place. I tried 4-5 dresses on at both places,

I was at DB for more than an hour mostly because the 'consultant' kept on saying, wait a min, i need to help another bride. I was soooo annoyed since I had an appointment and expected at least a little attention and got none.

The people at BS were soooo nice, I was there a second time this week showing my mom a dress. I almost felt bad that i'm not buying my dress there.

I have to second Lillette's (where I bought my dress)- ask for Gerri she's a doll and the best to work with!

I was at Helens during the Maggie trunk show for over two hours and i tried on like every gown there.
david's has never restricted the time or amount of gowns i've tried on.
Estelle's basically let me have the run of the place

I have three or four appointments tomorrow at differant places. i only go during the week...
i think it totally depends on the day and time of day you go
