I have never been there but I am curious do they get antsy when you want to try on more than like 3 dresses. It always seems that if you don't find 'the one' within the first few gowns they get a little annoyed or atleast thats how it comes off on Say Yes to the Dress. (which yes I am watching now).
Please don't spin this in some kinda drama way... this is just me being curious because I can tell you I had 'the one' feeling with the first dress I tried on but still tried on about 20 more until I ordered. I had to be 100% sure.

Sorry I'm crashing... I tried on about 5 or 6 and my consultant didn't seem like she would mind if I tried on more but I ended up getting the first dress that I had put on.

No way, I had such an amazing experience there when I bought my dress! I was driving them nutssss and they were so patient with me. I had like 5 people helping and I was there for like 3 1/2 hours. I thought that the were gonna kick me out but they were soo soo sweet!

Re: klienfeld girls
hmm.... honestly... yes and no.. but more no.
i dont think 3 dresses would be the number though. it's more about the amount of time you spend there. becuase they are usually booked with back to back appointments... you really can't run late because it goes into the next appt... so at a certain time they have to wrap it up... and you can always make another appt.
also... i think there are a lot of girls who go there 'for the experience' with NO intention of buying.. not maybe if i find a dress.. i mean NO INTENTION... and they do try to wean those ones out a little bit... they still help you though.

Kerri I can understand what you mean by going for the experience and I can imagine that would be frustrating for them

Re: klienfeld girls
When I first went, I had no intention of buying my dress from there. I had Audrey as my consultant and she was soooo amazing! She nailed my vision on the first try. It was actually her idea for me to try on a lot of different styles before I made a decision. I went back a month later with my mom to try the dress on again and they were very friendly. Nicole was the one who measured me. I never felt rushed and they never acted annoyed or stuck up. Good luck

I have seen like some posts that girls go JUST for the experience. I dont think thats fair to the consultant, they ARE on commision.
I went and had like the best awesome time ever!!! I tried on about 5 dresses. The only reason it wasnt more was It was between #2 and #5.
Bought #2. Best best best experience.

Nope, I didn't feel like that. However, when I made the appointment I was told that I only had 1 hour and 15 minutes.

yea... it happens a lot and they know it too... so I think sometimes they just feel like it's a waste of time. One of my BM's was asking them a few questions on the topic. But even still they NEVER REALLY know who's there JUST for the sole experience and will DEF NOT buy a dress there so they have to be good for all.
also, I think they tend to nail it within the first 5 dresses more than other places! i think what they do is... they ask your vision... pull some dresses they think are your vision... then they pull some dresses they think would look good on your body type!! and a lot of the times.... girls buy the ones their consultant picked out for them because it's usually the right dress for the figure!
My dress was my 2nd dress I tried on there. When it was on the hanger I was like 'EW... that's an Old lady's dress... what is this even doing here!' Seriously that's what I said when she left the room to get more dresses for me!! Out loud to my mother and BM's that were there!!! I didn't buy it that day....but it was my number 1 contender. I went back a few months later and tried it on again along with a few others and I ended up buying it!!
I think in the first appt I tried on maybe 7 or so dresses. the 2nd time I tried out 3 or 4. The only dress I tried on both times was the one I bought and I asked her to get that dress again for me. I had Keasha.... and she was NOT pushy AT ALL!! Actually... the first time she said 'i'm not letting you buy this dress today because you are too iffy and you need to love it... you don't want to make the wrong decision... so think about it... look around and come back in feb bc we are having a sale'. I did just that and ended up with it... she wasn't surprised I ended up with it. she thought it was the dress for me too!!!

Re: klienfeld girls
I had Keasha tooo! She was awesome! I actually came to the store late and she was still cool about it. I tried on about 6 gowns but I knew it was the first one all a long! Can;t wait to see my dress!
Question.... Did everyones dress come on time! People are telling me I should have given a fake date!!!

Re: klienfeld girls
I made a 'just in case' appointment for the day after my second fitting in case the dress doesn't turn out well...they told me it's an hour and a half appointment.
But if I really need to go there, then that means its a month before my wedding and I don't have a dress to wear...so I don't care how long it takes, I'm not leaving until I have a dress and they can deal with it lolol

Re: klienfeld girls
I had such an amazig experience at Keinfeld! They were so understanding of my situation and made me so comfortable and assured me they wouldnt let me leave without my dream dress. I tried on like 5-6 but I knew after the first one that that was it. I LOVE them!

Re: klienfeld girls
I think it probably depends on your consultant. I had a really great experience there with Sarah. I tried on about 10 gowns and she was so patient with me and never made me feel rushed or pressured to buy.
