A couple of days ago we went dress shopping for my little sis and she found her dress! (No, this isn't the dress, but let's just say it has a bit of lace in it!) It was the first dress she tried on and the rest just couldn't compare! So here are some dress buying tips that I picked up on:

1. Take friends you can trust. Sarah brought mom, me and her three best friends from childhood. We were all honest with our opinions. Sarah joked that the moment she walked out of the dressing room she could read the expressions on our faces without hearing a word!

2. Pick a dress for your body. My sister has a great bod so this wasn't much of a problem, but at one point she was torn between two dresses because the other had the train she wanted but it didn't look as good on her. We drove back to the first bridal salon and she tried on the dress for a third time. She immediately knew it was the one. (**It looked amazing on her even after eating lunch!)

3. Don't rule everything out. If your heart is set on a certain style that's great, but try other things on, too. Sarah was very open-minded about her selections but still ended up with exactly what she wanted.
