GATHER SUPPORT

Dress shopping should be a fun experience - and the people you invite along with you could have a huge impact on whether or not that ends up being the case. Keep the group small, suggests Robyn. Perhaps your mum, and a sister, cousin, or friend whose taste you trust.You don’t need a host of differing opinions confusing your choice - at the end of the day, it is your decision.

THE WHAT-IF: There is no one you trust to help make this decision! Your mum is too opinionated, you don’t have a sister, and you have different fashion tastes to all of your friends... Easy: go it alone. There is nothing weird about going dress shopping sans entourage. It’s likely that you’re made most other fashion decisions leading up to this day by yourself, so it is only natural you make this decision to the sound of your own thoughts as well. If you’re well researched and you’re got a great gown consultant to assist you, you’re got everything you need.
