Any do's and dont's for trying on dresses?

My Dress!!

Hi everyone,

The bridal expo in London (which it may be helpful to know there will be a second London bridal expo in September at the Western Fair District if you missed this one and wanted to go) was very helpful for ideas and getting a sense of what is out there, what things cost, that kind of thing. I even happened to enter a draw and win a round of golf with carts for 4 so that will be something to look forward to this summer! I guess I had been really looking forward to trying on dresses because I was a little disappointed that this was not something you could do at the expo. I ended up going to a shop down the street for the dress trying on experience later in the afternoon and found it didn't matter too much what I wore underneath, I even left my pants on and you couldn't tell. That being said I actually ended up finding my dress at the David's Bridal in Mississauga this past Saturday. I will post a picture following this!! So excited!

Saw this too late! How did it go?!

I read this late! I hope you found something. If you haven't I would suggest a strapless bra (nude colour) and nude underwear. Also don't limit yourself to one style, try on lots of different things.

Did you find your dress??

How did the expo go? Did you find any great deals?

I wore a strapless bra but ended up trying dresses on without it and adding cups the store supplied. I wore simple underwear that wouldn't show through or show any lines. I put my hair up to better invision how it will look on the day of

I will be wearing my hair the way I'll have it for the wedding. This way I get a look at what it will be like when its my wedding day. Also I plan to wear a bra with removable straps, this way if I try on a strapless I can just quickly remove my bra straps. But also go in, have fun with whoever you are bringing and also don't over think!

Also, where is it? I might go.

Pay attention to the underwear: they can really take down a very beautiful gown.

I wore my hair up and it was really easy to add a veil to see what the while look would be like. At the dress shops that I went to they have you take off your shoes at the door and they also told me to take my bra off when trying on the dresses. Hope that helps!
