Tried on some dresses yesterday! FLASH

Toastcat, 16 July, 2011 at 11:51 Posted on Planning 0 3

Hey folks!

Just an update on my wedding dress shopping experience. I went to Just For You Bridal in Birmingham, and tried on many, many dresses! Found a couple of contenders, but not sure I've found "the one" yet (although I may well have done, but just don't know it yet!) My mum took a couple of photos on her phone, but sadly, they've come out tiny! Here they are, anyway:




It's wierd, at the shop I definately preferred the second one, but looking at the photos, I think the first is the most flattering! But either way, I still think I need to look at and try on a few more before making my decision. On a related note though, the experience at JFY was really good, I didn't feel at all pressured into buying anything, and although some of the sample sizes I tried on were too small, some were also too big, so I didn't feel like a big elephant!

All in all, a great day and a really positive start to my dress hunting!

    Exciting stuff!

    I was a bit like that when i went dress shopping, id seen a dress on internet that i thought was "the one" but when i tried it on it just wasnt. I tried a dress on 2 dresses that the lady in the shop brought over to me, i liked both of them and couldnt really make my mind up between them but didnt get the wow, this is it for either of them..

    When i went shopping the following week, 1st shop i went into i found one of the same dresses, tried it on, liked it but didnt like the colour and it felt a little too big, then i started looking for the other dress....in the last shop i went in, the lady brought in this dress, and i got really excited at it - it wasnt the same one but basically the same dress but different designer (and cheaper - bargin!) and i couldnt wait to try it on and got it!!

    So, in a long round about way! i didnt get the WOW, this is it moment at first, but def think i knew it was the one when i tried it on in that last shop!

    Both of the above dresses look fab by the way, i like both but do think the top one suits your figure best!

    Good luck with the rest of your dress hunting!

    Yeah, the first one is definitely better for your shape, but if you like the second one then 'it's your day' as we say around here. I would say however, that if you're not sure if you've found 'the one' then you haven't. I'm sure the ladies on here will agree that it just hits you when you do. Keep looking, and let us know when you get that Oh My God feeling the second you put on the right dress...and then we will of course expect mucho flashes! x
