Your wedding dress... again...

I had a beautiful bride a few months ago with the most beautiful dress. She looked stunning in it... as long as she was just standing still. What happened was the moment she started to move, she was pulling at it, tugging, carrying, pulling up the front etc.....   The dress fit her perfectly, but it wasn't "Real world friendly"  Even on the dance floor you could tell she had so many issues just moving a little.
This bothered me so much I couldn't stop thinking, "Didn't she walk around when she tried the dress on?"


So here are some tips for you, that I hope will help.
1. When you find "The dress" don't just stand there in it. At the boutique, walk around in it for a good 15-20 minutes.
2.Try a few dance moves. (Seriously) you make look silly, but thats ok.  Have someone with you who can act as your dance partner.
3. Wear the dress for a while in both heels and flats (Many people change at some point into the night)
4. Squeeze through tight places. You may be walking around to tables squeezing in between seats.

Do all these things for a good amount of time before you make your decision. On your wedding day you will certainly not be standing on a pedestal in front of a mirror. You will be constantly moving.
