Anyone else hate dress shopping?

So I am back from my second attempt at dress shopping. I came home completely exhausted. I found dresses that look nice on me and I like... but none that give me a super special feeling... I can't stand this!! I have tried on a billion dresses!!! Everyone keeps telling me, you will know when it is the one... well what if I don't know... what if one of the ones on my maybe list is the one, and I just passed it by, because after a while they all start to look alike...

anyone else ever feel this way????

I got lucky and loved the very first dress I tried on, but if that didnt hapoen, I know I would be sooooo cranky trying on so many dresses

OMG.. I thought I was one of the few!!! I had my first experience Thursday and it was awful... I had a horrible consultant.. and all the dresses there didn't give a special feeling at all.. I'm going again tomorrow to BR, so we'll see what happens then! I hope I find SOMETHING I like

I have tried on about 30 dresses or more dresses and are still not sure. I even was close to buying one until my sister and mother saw it and told me they hated it. I am not sure if I will ever find a dress.

Keep trying! I know it can be frustrating! Some girls get lucky and find the right dress quickly, others take more time. Maybe take a break for a week or so, then try a different salon and try again! Keep your chin up, girl! I know you'll find 'the one'!!

Re: Anyone else hate dress shopping?

It sucked...I felt like I would never find a gown that had everything that I wanted. After 3 or 4 weeks of torture I finally went back to the place that I got the best service to try again. I found THE gown and I am so happy. It isn'y everything I want but it will be...they are adding spaghetti straps and pretty much changing the whole skirt but after those changes it will be perfect. Don't give up hope!!
