Do you gals go alone..and bring friends later (once the dress is chosen)

or

do you bring your friends along from your first visit?

Re: When you go dress shopping

I went with my mom, grandmother, MOH and 2 BM's. It wasn't supposed to be that many, but, 2 BM's wanted to go, and asked the day before, and I figured 2 more people's opinions could only help.

at first i thought i would go with my mom and moh/friends......but now i think i am going solo or with my moh/friends only on my first visit...because my mom has scared the living ish out of me, recently told me she thinks i should wear a halter topped dress, she said that looks good on me...ummm....yeah when i go out for a night on the town with fh and want him to see me all sexied up NOT on my wedding day! SHOOOOOOOT ME NOW!



most are strapless so even sexier than halter, i like alot of halter dresses and awww it'll mean alot to your mom



yes strapless is indeed sexi, i love that look...i dunno why i see halter as more vulgar on my tata's



i feel the same way about halter tops. definately 'sexier' to me than strapless

Re: When you go dress shopping

The first few times I went with just my mom. Which was great for bonding but not great for picking out a dress.
The next time I went was with my MOH who's my cousin and kind of my exact opposite. She was really helpful, but we don't have the same taste so it was kind of hard. We were also trying to make appointments so we were rushing.

I think I definately need to go with more than one person at a time, but I don't really have that opportunity right now.

If I went alone I know i'd be second guessing my choices for the rest of forever.

The first time I went just with my friend, but it didnt seem like REAL wedding gown shopping until I went with my mom.

Also, my friends are likely to say 'that looks nice!' to everything, whereas my mom will say 'that makes your A** look big.' If youre going to take someone, take someone brutally honest! AND bring a camera - b/c you always look different when you see a photo of yourself.



my mom was liking it all where my MOH best friend was like ' Ah no take it off its horrible' But yes take a camera if they let you. I have gained a whole new perspective on what whats behind me. YIPES!!!!!

My first visit ( when I found my dress) I had my 4 BM, my mom and FH's mom. I think the more the better. It's so surreal to be trying on dresses that I didn't even notice a HUGE ugly flower on the back. I got really good advice from my crew. It's good to have people with you. As long as they are helpful and not critical in a nasty way.

I went with my mom since she was buying it. I wish I went with a group of my friends or cousins first. I was so frustrated and tried on about 100 gowns before I found mine.

Total opposite with me. My friends were brutally honest (thank goodness) and my mom was getting mad saying, 'She looks beautiful in EVERYTHING!'
