How long did it take you to find "The Dress"?

I'm having a hell of a time, so I was wondering how much searching everyone else did before they found the perfect dress.

Within one day. I went to two stores. I tried on about 6 at the first store and 4 at the second store. I didn't want to get married in white, so I had a much smaller selection, which was good. The dress I found at the second store was perfect.

6 months. Srsly. With internet research and everything. I just didn't get that "feeling" about any one dress and was way nervous about it.

I didn't get that feeling about the one I ordered, either, but I love it and only regret that I can't wear 2 or 3 dresses at the wedding

(I just really liked a bunch of aspects of different dresses. Couldn't have 1 made with all of the aspects because they were super conflicting. I'm a picky chick, I guess? Whatever. I love my dress and was SO.GLAD. when the dress hunt was over lmao!)

I found a dress online and loved it. Then I went to a different website and found a dress that I loved. After looking at the two dresses I realised that it was the same dress (just in different colors)! I went to the store (Alfred Angelo) and tried it on first and knew that it really was the dress for me. I tried on one other dress though, but it didn't compare. I kind of wish I would have visited other stores, and tried on more then just two dresses, but after picking the same dress out from two different sources, it seemed right.

Just about two months. The only reason it took so long was that I HAD to try on this one particular dress, and none of the stores that carried the line had it. I eventually went to the Pronovias flagship store in NYC, where I could just LOOK at it (and have a friend try it for me, which worked okay) because it was a size 4. But I love it, so it was all worth it.
