Hi all,
Just a random confused post but thought I'd share...I have my dress yey but it just feels weird. I feel like all my shopping experiences have been rushed and not at all what I expected it to be!
I started by trying on a dress at the London wedding show then returning to their shop to try on again along with 8 others, still unsure so booked to go to another shop, fell in love with another dress, tried on 8 here too but the lady in the shop was not nice at all (turns out when we left me, my mum and mil all thought the same) so didn't want to go back there, booked a third shop an hour away to try on same dress. This was yesterday...arrived at the shop they were lovely and had three rooms 'affordable' dresses, couture dresses and plus size dresses, the dress I wanted to try on was in the 'affordable' room so this is where I picked other dresses to try on. Upstairs they had Justin Alexander dresses which I love but never thought I could afford. Anyway I tried on the I love dress (from the other shop with not so nice lady) and it didn't feel the same so that was a no, then every dress I tried on had something I didn't like, the lovely shop assistant went upstairs to get me a JA dress I had asked to try on-didn't like it.So she went and picked me another JA dress which fitted the sort of thing I was looking for and was a style we had decided suited me. I loved it and stood there in it for ages (then we got champagne as that's obviously something they only give to clients who shop upstairs!) I still wasn't sure , maybe as the dress lacks sparkle. The lady asked me lots of questions then all of a sudden everyone was telling me it's definitely my dress, mum and sister joking around about me being fussy and not going shopping anymore-mum ready to pay deposit, wants me to have this dress as she loves it. Then before I know it I'm out of the dress and agreeing that this is the one and yes let's pay the deposit, all the while thinking I want to come back and try it one more time and have a proper look upstairs at the couture dresses. So now I have the dress which I do love but it feels weird I worry I've rushed my decision . I can't describe how I'm feeling maybe just really overwhelmed and a bit sad that my shopping experiences have not been how I expected them to be, not one feeling of wow I look great I'm in love bla bla bla!Just yes I like it let's go, I'm waffling now but it feels good to write it down haha! Shall I call the shop tomorrow and ask them to hold fire, maybe go with my best friend and try it on with her, don't know how it works as obviously my amazing mum has just paid for half the dress!Im so confused as I do love the dress but am having wobbles as it's a big commitment and I'm soooo rubbish at making decisions! Please give me your opinions or just tell me to shut up and stop being silly lol! So confused and overwhelmed by all of this!!
So sorry for this waffling ranty post, just figured I can do that here as you all give super advice!!
i will try to flash if I can figure out how to on my phone?!
