Modern Bride
Feb/Mar 2007
How-to Guide
Q. How many gowns are too many to try?
A. Seven to ten is the number of dresses a
bride can comfortably try on during a one-hour
appointment; any more tends to be overwhelming, says
Julie Sabatino, owner of The Stylish Bride, a NYC
shopping service. To streamline the process, she has
brides focus on three criteria- style of wedding,
body type, and budget- and identify what she likes
and dislikes about each design. “Every gown she
tries on should be a progression from there, until,
she has one or two favorites at the salon, and then
one or two favorites overall.” When it is the right
dress, “her body language changes. She feels good
and doesn’t want to take it off,” Sabatino says.
“Adding a veil solidifies this; it’s the first
moment she sees herself as a bride. That’s when the
tears come!”
