    My fiance hasn't seen the dress, he won't see it till the day of the wedding. I picked it up from the dress shop and it's across the street at my neighbor's house safe and sound!! There are a couple of people who have seen it in person, but those were the people who were there the day I bought it. A few people have seen pictures of it but other than that, I'm keeping it a secret!!

  • My close friends, FMIL and my Dad and SM have seen pictures of the dress. I had it hanging in our closet for two days before I could take it out to my dad's place and FI saw just a smidge of the bust (beading only really) since the garment bag has a 3x3 clear window on it.

    Other then that, he won't see it until our first look photos.

  • It is hanging in the hall closet... and he is a good boy
    he has no interest in seeing it... till it is ON ME!
    I had a fitting done by his uncle (the tailor/seamster) yesterday and was told NOT TO LOSE ANY MORE WEIGHT cause it fits perfectly

    he hollered in the room I TOLD YOU SO LOL.

    a few have seen it on me, such as my maid of honour, bridesmaid and father, but they were with me when I bought it, and my Future Mother in law came by to take a look at it.
  • Only my mom and sister have seen it in person.

    A couple of family members and friends have seen pictures....

    FI will NOT see it until i walk down the aisle=)
  • Only my bridesmaids and my mom and grandma have seen it on me in person.  Quite a few people have seen pictures because I was overly excited haha.  My fiance will not see it, at all, until I am walking down the aisle.

  • FI hasn't seen the dress...he won't until our First Look.

    Close family and friends have seen pics of the dress.  It's not really a secret amongst close friends and family, but I'm not posting pics of my dress on Facebook or on Pinterest for everyone to see.

  • FI refuses to know anything about it.  I made a comment about getting a bigger limo than we need, so my dress had space, and he covered his and yelled, "La la la la."  I felt bad about saying it after the comment slipped out, he really wants to be surprised.
    My bridesmaids and our mothers are the only ones that have seen th floor model in person.  My dress is expected to arrive next month!!

  • Well when I originally tried on the dress I was with my ex roommate and her daughter and we were prom gown shopping for her daughter in a boutique that also sold bridal. My roommate was the one who suggested I just try one on..and I fell in love. They don't know I've purchased the gown or set a date since I've moved an hour away now and we never communicate. Other than that my Mom and Aunt went with me to pick it up the other day so they've seen it. And I can't begin to remember people who've seen pictures because I just get excited to show it off haha. FI though hasn't seen it nor will he until day of. Its safe at Moms. It fits but I could lose about 10 lbs and I think it will fit BETTER so that's my current goal!

    A lot of other people have seen it, but not FI. He won't until I'm walking down the aisle. I haven't even told him very much about it, and have been trying to keep details a secret.

    I will show anyone who wants to see it!! I love it!! FI hates surprises and knows that I got it at DB. He has guessed which one it is and it's his favorite on the site, but I keep telling him that's not it. He hasn't seen it yet and I refuse to acknowledge that it's teh dress.

  • I have two dresses, and only FI, mom, MIL and BMS know that there is a second dress, and have seen the online photos (well fi has not seen photos at all)
    The First dress, a few people have seen, only mom and sister have seen the dresses in person.
  • My mom, sister and one of my BMs have seen it in person.  When I first got it, I showed a bunch of people the pictures but then I decided the pictures didn't do it justice so I stopped doing that lol.  FMIL will probably go with me to my first fitting but I don't want anyone else to see it.  And definitely not FI.

  • FI has seen it on me in pic from phone!  We are not exactly "traditional".  A LOT of people have seen the pic too!  I get excited and show it a lot!  My BFF/MOH saw it the first day (it was the first dress ever tried on too).  My mother and 1 sister has seen it in person on me.  Its being housed at one of my friend's and 5 of my other good friends have seen it but not on.  Oh yeah one of my stepsons (14) too.  My BFF was in town so my friends and I got together to see the dress and stepson asked if he could come too.  

    We are going to do all the pictures before the ceremony so we can get to the party immediately so FI will see the total package a litlle early but we are okay with that.

  • I'm not keeping it a secret per se, but FI has not seen it and adamantly does not want to see it or know anything about it until I walk down the aisle! If he wanted to see I would probably show him, but he doesn't, LOL. My mom, MOH, godmother and FMIL have seen the dress on me in person. Two of my bridesmaids saw the dress at the store when we went to order their dresses, but I didn't try it on then. And it seems like everyone has seen the pictures, LOL, I'm not shy with those!

    My mom and MOH saw the dress on me when they went with me to purchase the dress.
    My mom has sent the pics to everyone! lol She is sooo excited. She actually sends me her fave pic of me in the dress once a month telling me how excited she is. lol
    FI didnt want to see it. He actually thought I hadnt gone looking for a dress until I went for my first fitting (told him it was the day I was going to look at dresses), and he knows I have a dress but he thinks the dress is at my moms house. Its actually in the spare bedroom closet in a room he doesnt really go into plus it has a desk blocking it. Its where we are keeping all the wedding stuff. FI did ask about the dress after he knew about it but I wont tell him about it. Told him I would lie and tell him it has things that it doesnt if he kept asking. I did show him pics from the dress shopping adventure but of the dresses I didnt pick. He did tell me seeing those pics started to make him teary eyed and it wasnt even the dress I am going to wear!

  • FI will not see me until our first look. It's hanging right in our closet and I know it is killing him but he wants it to be surprise as much as I do. Only my mom, MOH and the best woman have seen the dress.

  • FI hasn't seen it and won't until I walk down the aisle. I have accidentally let a few details slip. He knows it's ivory because when we looked at tuxes we thought about him having an ivory vest to match my dress. My dress was also on Say Yes To The Dress Atlanta but the girl didn't pick it cuz her friend didn't like lace. I told FI that part about the episode not realizing that by saying she didn't pick it because of the lace, that I'd inadvertently told him my dress has lace lol. Oops. Then last weekend dad was up and mentioned sequins on my dress in front of FI and when I tried to hush him he started yelling "Sequins!" so FI knows that too. I'm not sure if he'll remember any of that by the time the wedding gets here though! A few friends and FMIL have seen a pic. Dad, Mom, sister who is MOH, and BMs have seen it in person.
  • I'd like to show FI, but he refuses. I guess I dont see what a big deal it is if FI saw. It'll look totally different on my the day of the wedding. Other than that, I show anybody that asks a picture.

  • My FI doesn't want to see it.  All the ladies in my family & bridesmaids have seen the large sample version on me, and I've shown the website pic to some people, but neither of those versions is me, so I figure it's ok.  I actually have a pic of me in the sample dress and my FI was going through pictures and stumbled upon it, but I immediately grabbed it/he tossed it aside so I don't think he caught anything more than a big white blob.  haha I can't wait for it to come!!!!  3 months and counting.....

  • I am definitely traditional in that FI will not see it until I am walking down the aisle. No first look, no sneek peaks...no way. Only a few people have seen my dress. I am trying to keep it a surprise to others as well.

  • FI hasn't seen it and he won't until I'm walking down the aisle.. well, he's seen a picture of the dress but he didnt know that was the dress I was getting.

    A few family members and two of my bridesmaids have seen me in the dress in a picture and any of your who has seen my dress check post... and only my sister (MOH) and mom have actually seen me in person in the dress.

  • Only my bridesmaids have seen it in person since they went with my when I bought it. A few other close people have seen pictures. I don't plan on my FI seeing it until the wedding day, but I need to figure out a good hiding place for when it comes in this month!

  • Only a couple of people have seen it in person, my mom, sister and 1 BM when I tried it on the first time.  I went back with FMIL to show here.  I have shown coworkers, and a few friends the picture.  FI actually saw the dress on someone else but I did my best to cover.    My FMIL's friend sent her pictures from her daughters wedding and she was wearing my dress.  I was shocked!!!  I hoped I kept it cool enough that FI didn't realize. FI does not want to see it until I walk down the aisle and my dad doesn't want to see me in it until that day either.

  • Only my Mom, FMIL, MOH and BM have seen the dress and that was when we were dress shopping. FI definitely does not want to see the dress until I walk down the aisle - he has made that clear from the beginning! So I'll be keeping my dress elsewhere and entrusting someone to care for it until the big day!
