Top Tips for choosing the dress
One of the most exciting days when you get engaged is to go Wedding Dress shopping!!
I spoke with Elizabeth from Oleg Cassini in Alexandria ,who is a wedding stylist, to find out her top tips for choosing a wedding gown.
1. Allow plenty of time. Most people don't allow enough time. Allow at least 9 months to choose the dress and allow for alterations. If you want to have your dress made it can take up to 6 months. The stylists will measure you up and find your size. Some sizes may need alterations or if your size isn't available they may order it in. Some dresses are made to order, some are can be bought off the rack.
2. Try on a variety of styles, A-Line, Ballgown, Sheath, Mermaid. Try all of them on even you don't think it may suit you. More often than not, clients choose something totally different to what they have imagined they will choose. Trust your stylist, they know the collection much better than you. Be open to suggestions.
3. Listen to yourself. Everyone wants to give advice. Don't be put off by other people's reactions. Try the dress on with a veil, with jewellery. If it's really the dress you love then, more often than not, in the end everyone sees that and will be happy for you.
4. Enjoy the experience.
