Well, you still have time... It was hard for me to find a dress too. I went to 6 or 7 bridal shops and tried on at least 60 dresses! When I found my dress, I just knew and ordered it on the spot. Don't get discouraged & keep looking!!! & remember to have fun & know you'll eventually find it

Just keep looking and try on everything. Even if you don't think it looks good on the hanger. Be open minded. Don't stress, you'll find it

i went to bridal elegance on friday & i highly recommend them- i was pretty sure of what i wanted when i walked in since i have tried on a bunch before- but they helped me find something slightly different than i would have looked at and their prices were amazing!

Keep looking you have plenty of time! Print out ones that you like and bring them to the salon so you can show them to people there. That might help.

Oh, I'm so difficult too! I know what you mean, but now I can't decide between 3 dresses! What do you picture in your mind as your dream dress? Maybe we can help you find something.

Re: It's been really hard for me to find a dress!!!

you are not alone! i feel the same way. i've been to 3 stores and really like 2 dresses, but i'm not in love with them like everyone else says. i can't decide which i like more. i'm going to one more store tomorrow and hopefully that will be it!

tell them what you like, but definitely don't say no b/c they completely different on the hanger than on you!!!

I highly recommend Kleinfelds. I went to 8-9 places and found the dress of my dreams there. They have so many dresses it'll be hard to decide.

Re: It's been really hard for me to find a dress!!!

I am looking for a dress that has a sweetheart neckline, some beading but not too much and pull ups on the skirt (but just the slight pull ups). That's basically what I am looking for. I think I am going to try looking to try on Eve of Milady bc that is one designer that I havent tried on yet. Anyone get EOM dresses?

Re: It's been really hard for me to find a dress!!!

i had a hard time too. i prob tried on 30+ dresses. i thought i was looking for a certain style and refused to try on anything else. i wanted plain, ballgown, strapless, no pickups, no basque waist, no drop waist bla bla bla.

i finally tried on a dress at BS of Bayshore and fell in love. its not what i thought i wanted at all, but it looked better on me than any of the others i had tried on. the people there know what they are doing and what will compiment each body.

I should have been trying on whatever I could the whole time and i might have found my dress sooner.

my advice, try on anything the women at the salon suggest and anything your mom or whoever you want there suggest. you've got nothing to lose

** after reading the posts here, i read the description of the dress you want, and it sounds like my dress. heres the link...
