I've just got back from buying my dress. Problem is it was first shop I went into and although tried on 10 dresses it was first one I tried on. Does anybody think I'm mad? I loved the dress but now coming back think maybe I should have looked around.
Please somebody tell me I'm not crazy.
You are not crazy! I went to one shop, tried on four dresses and bought number four

I bought my dress secondhand from eBay without going to a dress shop, the only other dress I have tried on was the chinese copy of the second hand dress I have now bought. I love my dress too.
As long as you're happy and you love the dress it does not matter how many you have tried on.0 -
Thank you everyone. You know when you start to doubt yourself but I love the dress and I've definitely got the 'one' for me.
Told people in work and that I got dress but not any detail about it and most of them said they got the first dress they tried on too.
Makes me feel better. Thanks everyone.0 -
I saw one in a magazine... looked up the bridal shops that stocked it, went in and saw it and didn't look for any others (even before I tried it on as it was only a sample size they had in), then when they got real sizes in and I tried it on I knew I'd done the right thing!
I think when you know a dress suits your figure and style it's the one for you!
Congratulations!

I only went to one shop. Tried on about 10 dresses, got it down to 3 favourites and then decided i really liked one after trying it on again and went for it. I thought things would only get more confusing if i tried on loads at different shops and i am really happy with my choice.0

Not only did I buy the first dress I tried on but my wedding is still 2 years away!

I bought it from a girl who had changed her mind and bought 2 dresses. It was unworn, unaltered and came with local bridal boutique labels, dress bag and she paid £1400 (still on label). I bought it off of her for £400.
I love it and will only need it shortened but will need to keep me eyes screwed firmly shut for the next 2 years!:rotfl:0 -
Hiya,
I suppose I did too, as i'm having mine made! I made sketches with the dressmaker & she has given ideas & thats what she is making. So not only did I not go round bridal shops i've not even tried one on like mine will look when it's finished.Married the man of my dreams - 10th September 2012, St Paul's Bay Lindos :jIt was amazing.

First day wedding dress shopping with my daughter and we have ordered one from the second shop we went in, second dress she tried on.
It's been a wonderful day and my daughter was treated like the only bride getting married.
Never thought it would be that easy. Just have to wait 6 months now for the next fitting.2013

Mine was probably the about the 8th I tried on, but I knew it was the one I wanted when I tried it on! I didn't try it again before ordering..I didn't buy it there an then because I was sure I could get a better deal, and good thing I did that, because I eventually got it for half the first quote!0
