Most of the girls have been dreaming of princess dresses since she was 5 and know exactly how to become a princess. It is the WEDDING DRESS which is puffy and flowy like in the fairy tales. Growing up makes things more difficult and finds your dream gown more stressful than ever. Here below are some tips for your BIG DAY to order a cut-to-measure wedding dress and hope these tips release your stress.
UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU LIKE
Figuring out what form you are and get your dress ideas via Pinterest, and Facebook in advance. Also, you can browse for your favorite wedding dresses and then look for another idea: Lacy, Embellished? Do they have back or backless? Are they boat neck or halter? All of these will help you to figure out what you are going to discuss with a bridal consultant on your fitting.
SHOP EARLY BUT NOT TOO EARLY
If you have a long engagement, it is not emergent to shop right away. But you can discuss in advance via email, to decide which style of dress you are going to order and how long it take. Because there are many gowns taking around 4–5 months to produce, once you received it you still have time for alterations and accessorizing. The best lead time should be around 3 months in advance of your date.
We have lots of brides who prepare their wedding plans for more than 2 years. Hence, they will plan everything to implement those ideas come true.
DETERMINE YOUR BUDGET
It is quite difficult to discuss dress prices when you truly love the dress after fitting. Thus, please always ask for the prince range in advance so whether or not you arrange the 1 appointment. It will save you from heartache and regrettable.
Tips: If someone pays the dress cost, you can cover the difference yourself to get the one you truly love.
CALLING/EMAILING FOR CONSULTATION IN ADVANCE
For a better consultation, you should email for the 1 appointment and what types of dress you would like to try. You also send them a few dresses in advance for the boutique’s arrangement. Any questions which make you unsure about the fitting, you always ask for a consultation before coming. We believe that All bridal boutiques will welcome your questions.

SETTLING A SCHEDULE FOR THE BRIDAL FITTING
In Vietnam, it is not easy to be consulted by an English staff for your wedding dress online/offline on your fitting date. Thus, it is required to have a schedule in advance for the best consultation in English and the best-fitting experience. Because you do not want to waste your time discussing with a bridal staff who is not able to understand your ideas, doesn’t it?
DON’T FORGET TO BRING YOUR PEERS/NOT OVER 2 PEOPLE
It’s better if you can ask one or two friends to go with you for the 1 appointment. You should discuss with your friends in advance what you truly like, not what they like and how would you want to look when dressing up. It is a good idea if you can set a few simple rules before going for the fitting date. If not, you may feel trapped later on by showing friends and lose your feeling.
DON’T FORGET TO BRING YOUR HIGH HEEL/ PERSONAL STUFF
It may not be necessary for the first fitting when you just come for reference and try to find out your type of dress. After ordering, you need to advise the bridal consultant how many inches/centimeters of high heels you wear. On the final rehearsal, you’d better bring your high heel to the best performance.
BE AWARE THAT YOU MAY SPEND OVER 2 HOURS FOR THE FITTING
There are many things to discuss in case you are stuck on dress ideas. Note to leave a few hours so you can take your time browsing and trying on dresses.
BE OPEN TO TRYING SOMETHING NEW
Don’t be closed on something which can make you more beautiful. Please keep an open mind and may listen to bridal consultants while trying on dresses. You may find your dream dress that you didn’t know would be your dream dress.

PAY ATTENTION TO DRESSES FABRICS
There are many types of fabrics to make your wedding dress. They may be soft or still, shiny or not, elastic or not. A heavier, more structured material (think silk shantung, or taffeta) will hold its shape and smooth your figure. Unstructured silk and filmy chiffon are less flattering for those brides with curves.
DOES IT MAKE YOU COMFORTABLE?
Does the dress make you movable and feel comfortable? It may be the result of the dress form and fabric materials that nicely embrace your body and softly pamper your skin. Those materials may fit well on your body and dress style so you should advise directly with consultants.
THE BRIDAL SKETCHES FOR FURTHER INSPIRATION
Ask for their design collection and browse for new ideas on your dream dress. Almost, bridal boutiques have their own dress look-books which may help to give you a few new options.
Tips: Browsing may not feel good enough about the dress. You may try dresses as many as you can. The Nature Collection for your ideas: https://nicolebridal.vn/en/danh-muc/the-nature-en/
TRY ON THE CUT TO MEASURE DRESS FORM BEFORE ADDING DECORATIVES
On the date you come back, you will try the dress form rather than the finished product. Dress it up and feel how it is on your body. Does it need any changes? Are you comfortable walking and moving at ease?
Tips: This is time to adjust the dress form for a more accurate fit to your body. Feel free to give your ideas.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE TOP OF THE DRESS AFTER DECORATING
One of the most important steps before taking your wedding dress is its finished decoration. You should keep in mind that the top of the gown will appear most in wedding photos, especially seated at dinner or dancing with your nearest and dearest. Make sure the gown fits comfortably when you’re sitting down and that the neckline won’t require adjusting throughout the day.
TWEAK A GOWN TAILORING, DON’T REDESIGN IT
Normally, it is ok for tailors to do small changes like adding straps or changing the hemline. But any customization which requires the inner support and structure of the gown to be changed is costly and timing. It is risky to ruin your gown.
HANDLING FOR ABROAD SHIPPING
The wedding dress may be wrinkled after a few days of international shipping. You need to handle it right away when receiving it. You’d better hang it up on the hanger and steam-iron for the best performance on your date.
