Dress shopping

Freckles1977, 13 August, 2011 at 19:50 Posted on Planning 0 2

Hi all, just wondered if anyone else is having the same problem as me? I have been to a few dress shops and tried on quite a few dresses...in each of the shops I have found a couple of dresses I really like however, when I get home and look at the photos I am not so sure. The main problem I seem to have is that I have a curvature of the spine and when i look at the photos of the backs of the dresses they just don't seem to sit right.

I keeping waiting for that wow moment that people keep mentioning when you know that the dress is the one but haven't had that so far!!! Have found a few that I really like but don't get that WOW feeling-should i?

    Not everyone gets the 'wow' feeling but you should feel 100% comfortable in the dress you choose. I say keep looking - you'll get there!!

    Best of luck

    I did get a wow factor, due to a mixture of me loving the dress and feeling 100% comfortable in it, as Gillsy said. Don't forget, in the pictures that you are looking at at home, the dress may not be fitting quite correctly and with the right size ordered and any adjustments made, the pictures will look very different. One dress I tried on needed more structure at the back as the small of my back is quite indented (does that make sense?) and the seamstres said she could have put in more bones like in a corset to sort that issue if I had gone for that dress. Don't give up - I must have tried on 50 dresses before I decided and I'm glad I kept looking as I absolutely love my dress.
