Let's Keep in Mind the Checkpoints When Trying on Dresses ♡
Trying on dresses is so much fun, isn't it? ♩ When you get to wear a special and cute bridal gown that you wouldn't normally wear in daily life, it truly makes you feel like a princess ♡
While it brings a joyful and exciting feeling, it is important not to forget the checkpoints when trying on dresses!
If you're the type to gauge your dress by simply thinking, "it feels okay" or "maybe it's a little off...," you need to be cautious!*
It's Important to Check All Dresses from the ‘Same Perspective’ ♡
Whether it's trying on dresses or choosing a wedding venue, the same principle applies: "When comparing things, it’s crucial to assess them from the same set of criteria." *
Remember the “controlled experiments” you learned in elementary school science? ♡
If Dress A features a notable train, you might take only photos of the train from the back. If Dress B has a distinctive bodice design, you may take pictures showing only the front view of the bodice.
With this method of trying on, you may find yourself lost in thought: "What did Dress A’s bodice look like again... hmm, I can't remember. They are both so cute that I’m confused...”
When trying on dresses, make sure to check all dresses from the ‘same perspective’ so that you can make objective judgments later on. ♡
To make it easier for you to evaluate later, here are some key checkpoints you should look out for when trying on dresses!*
Checkpoint 1: Appearance from the Front
The first thing to consider is the appearance from the front. Have your partner, mother, or friends take a photo of you standing straight and tall while trying the dress on.*
Checkpoint 2: Appearance from the Side
The look from the side is also important. Since guests will often see you from the side, be sure to check that angle! ♩
Taking a photo that shows the skirt's volume and the flow of the train can be helpful for comparisons when you get home.*
Checkpoint 3: Appearance from the Back
The back view is also crucial. If the back design is a key feature of the dress, it’s essential to take a photo that captures the back style.
Regardless of the dress, you should pay attention and record the back as well.
Do you remember if it has covered buttons, a lace-up back, or just a zipper? These details can often be forgotten.
Checkpoint 4: Bodice Design
The design of the bodice is an important point in choosing a dress. *
Especially when you're seated at the head table with a table in front of you, only the upper body is visible, making dresses with a decorative bodice highly recommended! ♡
While wearing the dress, you might focus too much on the skirt's volume or silhouette, but capturing a close-up of the bodice design can be beneficial too! ♡
Checkpoint 5: Sitting Down
Another important checklist item for photo appearances is how the dress looks when sitting down.
If the dress looks cute when sitting in a chair, it will surely make bridal photos even more enjoyable! ♡
Also, when you sit flat on the floor, some dresses photograph better than others, so recording this could really help in making your decision! ♡
Trust Your Instincts! May You Meet Your Dream Dress ♡
I’ve shared five key points to consider when trying on dresses. *
When it comes time to narrow it down to one dress later, being able to compare photos taken from the same perspective will make your choice much easier! ♡
Without comparison photos, you might end up thinking, "I really need to try it on again to know...!" and that can lead to needing to make another appointment, which can be a bit of a waste of time during the busy wedding preparation period.
While relying on objectively judged recorded photos, ultimately trust your instinct: "I just love this dress!" ♩
I'm rooting for you to meet the most adorable dream dress! ♡
