have i found the one?

I don't think there is a certain way to feel. I knew I wouldn't have any emotion other than excitement so no tears/this is the one moment for me just a few dresses were tried on and the one was the one I kept comparing the others too and the one I couldn't stop thinking about. Personally I would book an appointment elsewhere and if you keep comparing to this dress than go back and try it on again :-)

That's exactly what happened to me. I liked the dress a lot but wouldn't say I had a wow moment. I've since tried on a lot of other dresses and found nothing that compares so I've made an appointment to try it again. I think you may well have found the dress!

I had this happen to me, I wouldn't say I knew instantly when I tried it on that it was the one but when I got home it was the one stuck in my head, the one I kept talking to my mum about and as the days passed I just knew nothing would compare to it. Because a lot of brides have that 'omg wow' moment with their dress that we all expect it to happen but sometimes I think 'the one' can just as easily creep up on you! I think you have to remember it is a very overwhelming experience and there's lots to consider so not everyone will have that instant knowing.

The more I thought about my dress and looked at the photos we took and images online, the more I knew it was very 'me' which could be why it wasn't so instantly obvious – I'm not a loud and out there kind of person so it makes sense the dress was kind of the same!

If you say you'll be comparing all other dresses to it, I'd say too that I think you may have found the one

When I tried mine on in the bridal shop I knew it was the dress for me. I didn't buy it that day though, I went to 2 more shops and nothing compared to it. I was looking at the dress online, even dreaming of it so I went back and tried it on again and it made me very emotional, I then bought it xx

Thank you so much ladies. Nice to know that this is a normalish feeling. I always thought you were supposed to get emotional about it and know straight away so nice to know that its not always that way.

I had a dress already I needed to alter to make fit properly, so was only ever going to go to one shop and try a few dresses on just to see what I COULD look like. I had no intention of buying one, but one of the last dresses suggested I didn't want to take off. I got the name and kept looking at it at home. In the end I gave in and asked if I could buy the sample I tried on as there was no way I could afford it new. No 'wow' moment, I just wanted to keep it on lol.

I'd go look at some other dresses, and if you can't find anything that makes you feel better than the one you liked, then go back and try it on again

I had a very similar experience during my first shopping trip, I unexpectedly found myself really liking one of the dresses I tried on, to the point where I was talking about it in the days/weeks afterwards to my mum/friends...I didn't get 'the' feeling, but I was inspecting the photos and online pics, and kept thinking about it. Then, in subsequent shopping trips, I found myself really liking two other dresses and the first one ended up being taken off the table completely, even though I had previously loved it!

My final choice ended up being neither of the two new ones I had really liked, but was in a shop that we had called in when passing, on the off chance they might be able to squeeze me in...they did, and my bridesmaids convinced me to try on a dress they liked in this shop, which I didn't really want to try as I didn't think it was right for me...but lo and behold, I got 'the feeling' and I bought that dress there and then! I was beginning to think I wouldn't get that feeling and it took me by surprise...

so my advice would be to keep looking, because you never know what might happen!
