Find Wedding Dress

• Shopping for a wedding dress is a
  once-in-a-lifetime experience. But with so many
  gowns to choose from, it can also be incredibly
  overwhelming. Here's how to hone in on the right
  style for your big day.

3
Start your search about nine months to a year
prior to your wedding date

• Designer gowns should be ordered six to nine
  months in advance to ensure there is enough time
  for delivery and alterations. If you want to
  customize your dress by adding beading or lace or
  by modifying the neckline or train, it can take
  even longer, so plan accordingly.

4
Familiarize yourself with wedding gown
silhouettes prior to going shopping

• Bridal gown silhouettes fall into six broad
  categories ball gown, empire, A-line, sheath,
  fit-and-flare, and mermaid. Try on one of each
  the first time you go shopping for your gown
  it'll quickly become clear which works best for
  your shape

5
Consider scheduling your appointment on a weekday

• When there are fewer crowds, and you may get more
  time to shop. If you have a personal day to
  spare, or even a half day, it might be worth
  taking off work to go gown shopping at 1 p.m. on
  a Tuesday or another off-peak time.

6
Keep an open mind when trying on gowns.

• A dress that seems so-so on the hanger may end up
  looking spectacular once you actually try it on
  your body.

7
Give your gown consultant constructive feedback

• Your dress-shopping experience will remain
  exciting, rather than becoming exhausting or
  stressful after the first five or six dresses.
  Don't make the mistake of keeping your thoughts
  to yourself out of fear that you'll hurt their
  feelings. Your stylist needs to know if you
  dislike poufy ball gowns or if you love the skirt
  of one dress but not the bodice so they can
  choose options that are more on-target for your
  style.
