"Essential Tips to Keep in Mind When Trying on Dresses to Avoid Getting Lost!"

2018.02.05 published

What should you be careful about when trying on a dress?

For girls, wedding dresses are simply a dream ♡

Therefore, trying on dresses is one of the most enjoyable parts of wedding preparation, but when it comes to trying on a dress for the first time, you might feel overwhelmed with questions like, "What exactly should I do....?"

Let's grasp the points and tips in advance, efficiently try on dresses, and find the one that destiny has in store for us ♡

To make the dress selection smooth, I’ve listed things to keep in mind when going for a fitting. *

① Arrive on time

First and foremost, make sure to arrive at the dress shop on time. Since there is a reception hour, it’s ideal to arrive a little early, say 5 minutes before.

If you are late, your precious time slot may be shortened, and for instance, instead of trying on 4 dresses, you might only end up trying on 3.... that’s a possibility.

To take full advantage of your reserved time for dress selection, be punctual.

② Decide on dress options beforehand

It’s also important to select the dresses you want to try on before you arrive at the shop.

Choosing from the rack once you arrive can be time-consuming, leading to lost time.

If you know the lineup of dresses available at the shop, it’s smoother to decide beforehand which ones you want to try.

If possible, let the staff know your dress choices in advance via email or phone, so they can prepare them for you, making it even more efficient and good.

It's also a good idea to list a few extra options in case the dresses you want to try that day are not available at the shop. ♡

③ Don’t forget hair removal

It’s absolutely a must to take care of unwanted hair (especially underarms!).

While you can try on dresses with unwanted hair, you might feel uneasy if you're worried about underarm hair.

Instead of planning to take care of it in the morning and potentially oversleeping, do your hair removal the night before with plenty of time to spare.

④ Do your makeup a bit heavier

The same goes for buying clothes, but if your makeup is too light, the balance looks awkward with a glamorous dress, and no matter how cute the dress is, it won’t look attractive.

Since, on the wedding day, professional makeup artists typically apply heavier makeup than usual, it’s beneficial to align your look during fittings to objectively judge what fits and what doesn’t. *

Going with slightly heavier lipstick, blush, and eyeliner will help you capture the overall vibe. Going without makeup is a no-go!

⑤ Arrange your hair nicely

Girls can look a hundred times cuter with a nice hairstyle.

Trying on a dress with styled hair versus straight down and unstyled hair completely changes how cute you appear.

☑ Align with the vibe of your wedding day

☑ To ensure consistency in impressions during fittings

It's better to do at least a simple hairstyle each time you go so that the dress itself looks cuter. ♩

⑥ Take plenty of pictures as records

Once you wear a dress, make sure to take plenty of pictures to look back on later.

To decide whether a dress suits you or not, you’ll need photos that clearly capture your full body from a little distance.

Instead of focusing on details like seated shots, take clear photos from the front, side, and back. *

Taking pictures at the same angle and pose for all dresses makes it easier to compare later.

⑦ Try to go with the same person

Everyone has different opinions and tastes when it comes to dresses. If you ask many people for their opinions, you’ll receive numerous responses which, while appreciated, can often shake your decision-making.

Therefore, when seeking advice on dress selection, it’s best to decide, “I will only ask this one person!”

By relying on the opinion of one trusted individual, you’ll find it easier to avoid confusion.

Efficiently choose the dress and meet your destined dress ♡

Wearing wedding and colored dresses is incredibly fun.

However, the situation of having to choose one dress from many can surprisingly be quite stressful...!

To smoothly encounter your destined dress, keeping the above points in mind while going for fittings might be helpful. ♩

May you find a cute dress that brings you immense happiness when you wear it ♡
