Dress shopping

Hey all,

Tomorrow I'm going to try on dresses for the first time and I feel like I should be excited but I'm actually a bit nervous. I'm not used to all the attention being on me and Im not the biggest fan of trying on clothes in the first place.

I think that part of it is that I'm not at the weight I want to be so Im worried I'm just going to be disappointed with the dresses. I'm working on it but still have a lot to go.

Did anyone else feel the same. Or have any advice going on for a first timer?

    Thanks for your comments. It went better than I expected. I had fun trying everything on and think I narrowed down what I'm looking for! I didn't buy anything but I'm so glad I tried on different styles. I was surprised by a couple of them too! The search is still on but I feel so much better about the possibilities 😊

    I hope you had fun!!!! In my honest opinion I went the first time with a lot of people and felt the same, I was also so focused on what they thought of the dresses more than what I thought/wanted. I ended up going by myself to 2 other salons to narrow down what I WANTED and then did another trip with everyone and found my dress!!!
    The weight issue I have too.... I wanted to loose 5 lbs when I tried on my dress and ended up gaining 5 since.... ugh.... STILL TIME TO WORK HARD!

    Jennifer's right! ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY! It seems NO ONE is at the weight they'd "like to be at" when they go dress shopping (I sure wasn't)... but you can still find dresses that make you feel like a million bucks!

    Make sure you put on sizes/styles that fit you, at least for the first few dresses. Nothing's more off-putting than putting on a dress 2 sizes too small because you like the beading, and then you end up feeling bad that it doesn't fit/look good.

    Remember, your dress will be the right size for YOU, and will be altered to perfection. Bridal gowns are also much more structured/well constructed than average clothes or dresses... you'll be amazed at your figure the first time you try on a boned corset dress!!!

    Live in the moment, enjoy yourself, and don't beat yourself up if you don't find something you love just yet, or if you find yourself liking/not liking something different than you thought you would! Good luck! We'd love to see pictures if you find something you adore!!!

    ENJOY THE MOMENT!!!!

    honestly...don't worry about the size or the number on the tag. enjoy the moment. and listen to your consultant. or be willing to try on different dresses than the style you thought you would like best. you will be surprised.

    HAVE FUN! Smiley smile
