Dress Shopping :)

Kleinfeld's isn't the only place with a no pics policy. I think it's because they don't want you taking pics of your dress, then using it to find the exact same dress online or at a cheaper place. You could do that with the designer & style number anyway but this has always been my guess.

I would tell them to F off just for being shady like that though. The boutique I went to was so friendly and helpful and she told me all the designers and style numbers and in return I trust them with my business. You try and treat me like a piece of shit who's out to jip you and then I will be. Besides the fact that a Maggie Sottero costs what a Maggie Sottero costs, they have strict distribution rules that don't allow them to be priced differently so it would have done me no good to go elsewhere.

It sounds like you will be having a great day...and mimosas make everything fun. If you're with a good group, it can be a lot of fun. Just keep it light and enjoy it. Definitely try on all sorts of styles. I never in a million years would have pictured myself in the one I got. Going with a group can be a blast. Add in mimosas, and you're bound to enjoy it all

I unfortunately, got really overwhelmed with how many people showed up that day. There were three more than planned and it was just too many opinions. I ended up just picking a dress because two girls had driven several hours to come and I didn't want to let them down by not getting a dress. Long story short, I went with just my mom a few months later and did a lot better. I picked out several dresses but only tried on two. We both teared up (which was totally cheesey and not our usual thing) when I tried on the second dress and knew that was it. (Luckily my first dress was a fun short one and I can wear it after the wedding when we go downtown. Both fit and were discontinued and heavily discounted so we got both of them for less than $600.)  

Congrats and have fun!
