I say don't put down a deposit. If it's still there next week, try it on with your mom, and if it's not there, take it as a sign that you'll find something else.
Absolutely not. That is a total crock and it's just a ploy to get you to buy it. There are literally miliions of dresses out there and they should be doing everything they can to make you feel comforable..
I agree with BW4606. I wouldn't pay to hold a dress unless I knew I was going to get it, especially since it's a significant portion of your total dress budget. If it's there, it's there, and if it's not, you'll find another.
You know yourself!
When you make a decision do you stick to it or do you get buyers remorse!
I tried on 14 dresses - Dress #11 was the one! (and totally different from what I thought I wanted) Dress 12 and 13 I didn't even let the lady do them up I just disliked them right off the bat because they weren't dress #11. Dress 14 is the same designer and shape as dress 11 so I tried it on to make sure 11 was my dress and it is :-) But I am a very decisive person!
If you know this is the dress for you and that you will keep coming back to it - and that you can deal with your mom not liking the colour - I think it is DEFINITELY worth the 100 dollar hold!
Good Luck and let us know what you decide!
I think its crazy they would even ask you to pay $100 to hold a dress. Just wait till your Mom gets in town. If the dress is there, try it on. If its not, then it wasn't meant to be after all.
I would definitely NOT put down the $100 deposit. Chances are that the gown will be there when you return, espcially because it is fall and most brides won't be looking for their gowns right now. I would take it as a sign if it isn't there when you go back!
Thanks for all the good advice! I'm going to wait until next week I think. It will be nerve wracking, but as everybody is saying, if it's still there it must really be my dress!
i would wait it out and see if it's still there. $100 non-refundable deposit seems like a crock of...well, you know ;-) however, if it were refundable, i'd totally do it.

I have been to only two dress stores, one a used dress store (which is definately my type of place, attempting to be an eco bride). I tried on a dress for fun which I never in a million years would have picked for myself, style wise, and I LOVED it. I was looking for simple, and this one is bold and awesome! If I were getting married tomorrow I would be pleased to wear this dress. However, I am afraid my mom will hate it because it's gold (as in, not white, gasp!!).
My mom and two friends are coming up next week to shop for dresses. This place will hold the gold dress for me, but it will cost me a non refundable deposit of $100. Doesn't sound like much, but my total dress budget is only $800. I would love for them to see it, but is it worth $100? Should I really be so commited to a dress when I've only tried on 5 or 6? Any thoughts?
