    About 30 before I found "the one". But then I decided to keep looking as I had more appointments set up and I wanted to make sure I had the "right" dress, so I ended up trying on about 100 before actually purchasing.

    I tried on 5 or 6 before I found the one. It was spur of the moment. I went into David's bridal with my mom just to look, super overwhelming so made an appointment for later that day. My best friend, who is also maid of honour, was super upset I didn't take her, pulled a fit about it. Didn't want to be in the wedding, changed her mind but hasn't really planned anything with me because I chose the dress without her. She's still salty about the whole situation and it's been about 7months.

    I went to a store not expecting to buy that day but i fell in love with the dress, I can't wait to put it on again! I tried on about 10 and liked 3 of them. When i put THE one on for a second time and put on the veil i teared up and couldnt stop smiling. 😊

    5-7 and I fell in love with the last one and it wasn't exactly what I was going in for either. I was totally fixated on a tulle sequenced bottom dress but ended up with a sequence/ beaded top and bottom and less heavy but designer apparently. That didn't matter to me just I knew once they put that veil on. All in one shop too.

    I had planned to try on about 10-15, but being that I am a very busty girl, most sample sizes didn’t fit at all (so frustrating). I think I tried on 6 or 7 and I loved two (3rd and 7th) at two different stores...which made the decision so hard. But in the end I chose the one that was more romantic and suited the mountain wedding. Now just nervous abou the alterations and alll the lace!!

    I haven’t gone dress shopping yet. I know what style I want. I don’t want to try on that many but I have a feeling with my sister she will be making me try on a few.

    I haven’t gone yet, I go in April but I plan to try on each silhouette and see what I like best and go from there. Hopefully I don’t have to try on too many cause I’m not a huge fan of dress shopping normally

    I went shopping yesterday for the first time and totally did not expect to find my dress! I think I tried on around 15 dresses from 3 different shops. The last shop we went to I almost didn’t want to stay because the dresses all appeared to be very glitzy but we found one simple, classy elegant dress. The only one I tried of the 6 I picked. When it was on I just knew!!

    Like 50. looked at 100s online and went to 3 boutiques. I don't like shopping so getting a dress was the most stressful part of my planning process.

    I think I tried around 10-15 dresses. My dress was the second or third I tried on and fit like a glove! I was originally worried it was too sexy since it had cutouts and big leg slits but it ended up being magical and romantic.

    First one I tried on, I loved it immediately! It's the one I ended up picking! But, I did try on eight others at two different stores. None compared to that first one though! One came close, but ultimately, the first one is the one I wanted my fiance to see me in!

    I have not gone dress shopping yet but I want to try on a good variety, but I don't want to try on too much that I get confused.

    I'd say 25, 10 at the first store, 10 at the second, made a second appointment for my family to come to the first place because it was an amazing experience (Ballet's Bridal) then only a few at the second meeting, my dress helper lady picked it based on my first visit and it ended up being THE DRESS. Hooray!!

    Like 40? I wanted to try a few dresses of each type so I won’t exclude anything. And when I decided to go by a specific designer I tried everything of that designer on.

    I tried on around 10 I think all together.

    I went to three stores total and found my dress in a store I never in a million years thought I'd by from.

    I went to two locations and tried on maybe 10 dresses if that.


    Once I found my dress, I knew.


    And can you believe I almost didn't try it on because I didn't like the way it looked on the hanger, and the colour had a blush undertone in the sample which I did not want.


    Goes to show you ... just try it on!

    I went to two stores and tried on about 20-25 total. I tried on similar ones after I found "the one" just to make sure. I can't wait until it comes in in march !

    My dress was literally the second dress i tried on. The first was my moms wedding dress from when she got remarried 4 years ago that i hoped to alter to fit me, but the dress was wayyyyy too small for me.
    I tried on a third dress after and realized i wouldnt like anything more than the second one so i bought it Smiley smile
