UPDATED: Went to BR ::Not so great::

OK my first day of dress shopping for myself! I'm going to Bridal Reflections in Massapequa and am a lil nervous/excited! So, from the post's i've been reading, I've concluded to bring my own strapless bra and booty shorts undies. I'm just really hoping I enjoy this cuz I HATE shopping period. Wish me luck! I'll try to sneak pics

UPDATE:

First, they didn't let me take pics little upset and I couldn't even sneak one....But the girl that helped me was really nice and very patient with me so no complaints on the store itself.

Other than that..... ugh.... kind of what I expected... Like I said before, I hate hate hate shopping. Although it wasn't too bad, I only found one dress i really liked, not really love but only one to put on my 'save to remember later' list. It was Maggie's Vienna.

I don't know whats wrong with me. I think I'm too concious of the fact that I'm short and that not everything will look right on me. That being said I found something wrong most of the dresses I tried on. I didn't like the lace or too plain or I dunno.... I'm too picky. I'm kinda dreading my next shopping stop which I haven't even made an appointment for yet anywhere. I know Its only my first day but I'm already feeling down about dress shopping and that I'm putting my mom and sister through hell when they come with me....

I need some motivation or something

ETA: Sorry so long, i needed to vent a little....

Have fun. The girls there are great, and they do let you take pics.

If they are too plain or not the right lace or something was off then they just weren't for you and that is ok!!!!

As far as being conscious of yourself, you just have to go in know what kind of styles fit you. That is a positive thing to be able to say that I know I am this, and this dress that dress and this style won't look good on me. If you hate shopping, something like wedding dress shopping can be intimidating. Have you tried going to a store where the ladies will recommend styles they think might look good on you? This way it takes a little bit of the pressure off of you.

I just say give yourself a lil bit of time. Then make another appointment, and go in with the I don't have to fall in love with a dress tonight, but am just gonna have an open mind. With time, and loving family, you'll find your dress!!!!

Well the dress shopping has just begun. I am sure you'll find a dress that you love.
Usually BR will allow you to take pictures once you put a deposit on a dress.
That was their deal with me.

You really need to check out Lillette's in Baldwin and make an appointment with Pat there. She is great about finding what will look good on your body type.

I HATED dress shopping, but loved shopping there - b/c I had someone bringing me dresses that would look good on me.

Just a suggestion - I'm SURE you'll find a dress you love.
