Not all in one day. She had tried on 100 total before coming to Kleinfeld.

Yes, she actually DID find something!

I get that some people are close with their families, but the whole "my WHOLE family HAS to like it before I buy it" thing is kind of silly to me. I think that's how people end up buying something they don't actually like and regretting it.

I don't get this either. Everyone has a different opinion and half the girls just end up confused. The consultants are always complaining about it because it makes the sale harder. Not to mention a lot of them come in wanting to be "sexy" on their wedding day and all the older folks in the crowd are horrified (as am I as a viewer...tacky). So what was the point in bringing them in the first place? The bride knows something that showcases her boobs isn't going to impress grandma. Come on.

I care what my family thinks-to an extent. I seriously doubt my dad, brothers, and cousins actually care what kind of wedding dress I wear. They would probably rather be slowly drilling screws into each of their toes than sitting through that.

I second that. I know what I wanted and I am sure that the more people I brought the more my idea would have gotten muddled. I think the only person that really needs to be there is the bride and the person paying for the dress (usually the mom or dad). I brought my MOH, (at the time future) MIL and SIL, when I went to pick out the accessories and the dress was already picked out. That way they get to be part of the dress experience but the hard part was already over.

^^^One of my sisters had the idea to bring her parents to one of her fittings (after she had already picked out and ordered it), so they could see the dress and help pick out the extras (veil, shoes, etc).

They were paying for it, but they didn't care too much what it looked like (as long as it wasn't see-through or something).

When I get engaged I'll bring my mom. Possibly a friend and MIL but I REFUSE to bring an entourage of people. That is just dumb. My mom knows me the best, so her opinion is what would matter to me the most.

My mom and I sat down and watched My Fair Wedding today and just by watching with her i KNOW that taking her with me to find my dress is going to be super hard. Everything she hated on the show,I kind of liked and vice versa. Oh well, that is how we've always been and at least she understand that times have changed :)

I'll probably do the same, but then I know I don't want anything "sexy" (which would be the most offensive thing ever to my mom) for my wedding gown and I will be telling consultants ahead of time that whatever my top price is, its firm. No showing me dresses above my price range. If I DID want something sexy I definitely wouldn't bring any parentals.

Random, but for those of you wondering what Pnina, designer of everyone's favorite see-through dress is up to for her latest collection:

This is one of the fugliest gowns I've ever seen. It looks like she's wearing Christmas tree metallic garland on top of a Frederick's of Hollywood bustier.

MUSK81 07-09-2010 10:12 PM

No, the fugliest gown I've ever seen was the one that was on tonight - the strapless one with the bows over the boobs! I was like "You've got to be kidding me!"

Nanners52674 07-09-2010 10:16 PM

That dress was just horrible. They didn't even show the price.

Fugly is too nice of a word.

joliebelle 07-09-2010 10:46 PM

I can't believe that woman bought that travesty of a dress for 21k! That amount of money could put me through grad school for a year :eek:

Nanners52674 07-09-2010 10:59 PM

OMG I didn't see the price, that's insane!!!!!!!

The only word I thought of when I first saw it was "TACKY". Completely tacky. Wouldn't be caught dead in it. *Shudder*.

ASUADPi 07-11-2010 12:26 AM

I think my first thought was hideous. It truly was the most tacky dress I have seen on that show thus far. With her boobs hanging out of the dress, she honestly reminded me of "white trash".
