Just one bit of advice, if you do buy your gown there and I am pretty sure you will, then be sure to have Josephine be your seamstress. She is my DIL's mother's first cousin and is fabulous.

Re: Klienfelds advise
I just went there on June 25th and got my dress. Who is your consultant? Did you request anyone? I requested Keasha based on the show, and she was the best! I don't think it's important what you wear since you won't be wearing it for long, other than wear some decent panties (!) and a strapless bra. They can provide you with undergarments if you need a specific type under your dress (I need a longline bra and didn't have one).
Hopefully you'll have a lot of fun! I loved the experience. They were filming another bride while I was there so you might see the cameras around. I'm pretty sure I'll end up in the background of the show even though I didn't want to be filmed.

I didn't wear a strapless bra, because my hair covers the straps of my bra, so I didn't think it was necessary.
The lady might be in the room helping you into the gowns, so make sure you wear undies with coverage!
You'll try on some gowns, look at yourself in the mirror, maybe come out in the hallway to show the people that you are with. If you don't like it, off it goes! But usually you're in each one for at least a few minutes.

Love kleinfeld! Have had nothing but great experiences....I have my final fitting Tuesday!
Definitely bring pictures of dresses you like. There are a ton on their website and it will reallly help them get an idea for what you want & a jumping off point.

Re: Klienfelds advise
I went there as my first appt. Although I didn't buy there the experience was great. I did feel like it was a little hectic though and there was SO much going on around me. The consultant was great and brought me dresses in the budget I requested. I did however feel pressured at the end of the appt when I went to take it off she said she was shocked I wasnt buying the dress. That was the only thing I didn't like.
