I went to try on dresses for the first time Saturday. My bridesmaid and I went to David's. Had a bad experience. There was no one to help us because the other bride our saleslady had was very demanding of her time. We were just told "grab what you think you'll like, and don't go beyond this aisle because these are women sizes." (which insulted me. I'm not a woman? I'm knit-picking, I know.) And then she was gone. I felt completely overwhelmed by all the White that I just grabbed random dresses. As I was putting on dresses, I just felt like a machine, completely apathetic to the experience. I was put into a 34D that pushed my boobs up to my neck. It looked so unnatural. Then I was put into a 36C that was way to big around my body - luckily the slip they borrowed me cinched everything in. I had so many questions and there was no one around to answer them. It was like when you try on clothes at a department store.
I just thought that there would be someone to whom I could say "I'd like a simple A-line in Ivory." And they would be able to pull dresses that they thought would work. I guess I've watched too many wedding dress shows. I wasn't expecting a galmorous experience like on Say Yes to the Dress, but I was expecting it to be a little more than just a Target dressing room experience.
Now I'm scared that I'm not going to find a dress that I like. Am I supposed to feel that click that people talk about or is that just hollywood? I'm going to go to some local shops in another two weeks. What should I do to prepare myself, because I was completely unprepared for David's.
