1st Wedding Dress Shopping Today

Have a blast. I live in the middle of no where, so we never have anything like that. We have like three dress shops, and they all have the same dresses!!!!

~~

Have a great time!

YAY have fun! Go in ther eopen minded and try all styles on b/c you never know. Wear comfy clothes and be patient!

wear boyshorts unless you want the helpers to see your bum-cheeks, and a strapless bra if you have one

I can't believe they won't let you take pics! Anywho, let us know how it went.. good luck :)

Yeah!!!! your going to have so much fun! Try everything on! You may be surprised with what you like and don't like when you actually try it on! Have FUN!!!!

Well, that wasn't an emotional day! Holy Moly...it wasn't even supposed to be a real dress shopping day but a "work" day my girlfriend told me. NOT! At the two stores, I probably tried on 25 dresses and burst into tears (or she did which started me again) at least 5 times. She was right though, it is work (was better than being at real work), but we did figure out which styles look good on my figure which is why we went before the big day next Saturday with Mom and the Girls.

I found to be very strange that the ladies won't leave you in the room at all so you can't even discuss the dress or the price openly which is obviously so you don't take pictures. So there was no sneaking a camera phone pic which I thought would happen.

I did fall in love with an Amsale dress....now I am just teetering on the price tag (veils are over $1000...ouch, I had no idea).

Do you recommend alterations at the store or finding a seamstress to do it (charging $450, is this in the right range)? Anyone know a less expensive place to buy Kenneth Pool for Amsale thank Saks?

Thanks for the advice...I will check with them on pricing.
