I've only shown it to my mom, who was there when I bought it. I would show it to my sister, but she's in a different state and I don't have photos of myself in the dress!
Other than that, I'm kind of steering clear of showing people... my dress is the kind that looks good on me but it's not so exciting on the hanger, and I'm worried that if I have a less-than-positive reaction from someone, I'll start questioning the dress! So, for my sanity, I'm keeping it under wraps till the big day.
I've limited it a great deal. My mom was excited to show a picture of the model in my dress to all of my family, but was understanding when I asked her not to. I'm showing my bridesmaids because I trust their fashion sense more than mine. I've asked them each to wear a little black dress of their choosing. I've shown them the dress so that they can pick a dress that matches formality with my dress.
I plan to invite FMIL to a fitting. She has two sons and a gay daughter, so won't really get that experience. I also plan to invite my grandma to a fitting since she never got that MOB experience. . . even with three daughters. Beyond that, there are very few close friends that have seen a picture of the model in my dress.
No one's seen *me* in the dress, with the exception of my mom and MOH who helped me shop.
just my mom and the seamstress. Well, my dad may have seen it too, considering it's been hanging in his house for several months now. :)
I wanted to show my FI, but he declined.
I only showed my mom and my one friend. The bridesmaids didn't even see the dress before the wedding!
My mom was w/ me when I bought the dress. My MOM (I swear, sometimes she's more excited than I am) was so excited to show it off she made me try it on for my grandmother, 2 aunts and 2 cousins (all women). My mom then showed it to my girls when they were @ my parent's house planning my shower.
I do not plan on anyone else seeing it before our big day.
Everyone who wants to see it. FH has seen it 10000's of times because I try it on all the time :)
Anyone BUT Mr.TKE. Although I'd like to show him because there are just some dresses he hates on me. Maybe a line up of dresses...He'll pick which one's he likes and dislikes. lol
my mom, dad, fmil, fsil, and moh all came to different fittings or with me when i was shopping for the dress. i emailed my bridesmaids pictures of models in the top 2 dresses i was considering to get their input on which was more "me," and then i showed those pics to other friends who i talked to about details. i didn't really keep it a secret at all, but to me it's not the actual details themselves but how they all came together that mattered. ie, my dress was amazing but what made it amazing was how happy i was when i was wearing it. it didn't matter that a lot of people had seen pics of the dress, bc i glowing just as much as if they hadnt seen it on the day of
The only people that will see me in the dress before the big day are my parents, my brother, my grandmother and my bridesmaides. I have shown the website pic of my dress to a few of my other close friends... and if my future sister-in-laws asked to see it I would show them too.... other than that I'm keeping it under wraps from others!
I've had my cousin and a friend help me try it on when my bridesmaids weren't around. I plan on showing it to my BMs and that's it. Actually, I was going to ask FI help me put it on when I got it, but he refused to look at it!
Do you mean the actual dress, or photos of the dress? I showed photos of the dress (the manufacturer photos, with a model wearing it) to everyone who asked except my husband. The actual dress, I showed to my sister, my best friend, my SIL (so, that's all three bridesmaids) and my mother. There wasn't really an opportunity to show it to anyone else, since it was at our house and we live half an hour from the hotel where everyone was staying, and all our families flew in from across the country. I think I would have actually shown it to just about anyone who asked, since I don't think that would have been too many people.
I would say anyone exept the groom, but I probably wont be able to control myself! My FI will probably see it a hundred times before the wedding..I already showed him some ideas :)
When I first ordered it, I was so excited I showed pictures to almost all of my girlfriends. Now I really regret...there is no surprise for them on my wedding day! If I had it to do again, I would only show my parents (who were with me when I picked it out) and my bridesmaids.
I'm like daydreamwanderer only myself, my mom and my seamstress will have seen the dress by the time the wedding arrives!
I didnt vote because there wasnt a chioce for mine! I showed myself in the finished product of the dress to my mom, MIL and SIL before the day of the wedding. My bridesmaids (all of them) and my dad's wife had all seen a picture of me in the dress from one of my alterations but the dress changed since then.
Lol I'm not secretive at all. I showed everyone who asked the pic of the dress in a magazine or the pic of me in the sample (which was the wrong size). Once I have a pic of me in it and fitted, I may keep it to parents, grandma, and bridesmaids.
Everyone, including my FH. My dress just makes me feel so darn good that I also try it on all the time. I always tell my FH that after the wedding he'll come home one night and I'll be vacuming in it. LOL
Um, my FH has already seen it. And he's the only one who's seen it. I need him to zip me up!
But I tell myself it's not the same as seeing me on the official day, when I'm all dolled up.
My mom, dad, aunt, grandmother, FI, and three girlfriends have seen pictures of me in the dress, taken the day I found it. I was alone at the salon because my family and BFF live in a different state, and I was so excited about finding my dream dress that I wanted to share that with them. I showed the pic to my FI because I wanted his input and validation; he's been dress-shopping with me before and I wanted to wear something that he really loves.
I was going to take him back to the salon with me to see it in person, but we both decided against it. Now that I know that he LOVES the dress as much as I do, I'd rather wait for our wedding day for him to see it in person, and he felt the same. I know it seems pointless because the sample dress fit like a charm, but to me, it's still going to be totally different when it's the actual day and my hair and makeup are done and I'm all "put together."
But I DID take my 7 1/2-year-old daughter with me when I went to order my dress this weekend, so she got to see me in it! She was really excited...it was cute. So she's the only other person who has actually seen me in my dress!
Haha there were so many choices I just voted for 'other'. I found my dress by myself and immediately sent my Mom and FMIL's a picture to see what they thought. Then of course I showed every female who would look at it to see what she thought. I had no problems showing people, but did not show any males because none asked and that would have been weird.
I have a password protected page on my wedding blog with separate pics of me in the dress, my hairpiece and my shoes. So anyone who is truly interested will get the password :)
My wife went dress shopping with me, since we wanted to get complementary dresses. My sister saw it, because she initially did not think she would be able to attend the wedding. We also had two close friends who came and took pictures of us in our dresses.
My FI went with me at first, but she hasn't seen this one on me, the one I bought, just some pics, but she saw SO MANY pics I am sure she has them all scrambled in her head.
I would have shown my BFF had she come along to try it on but I ended up going alone, then going back with my 12 year old (just turned 13) son the next day for an opinion. I totally value his opinions!
My 18 year old son has seen it too, and my SIL, but SIL only saw it in the bag, not on me. That's it. I will probably keep it secret from here on out. In fact, I went on and on about "the dress" on facebook and then changed my mind but didn't tell anyone on FB that, so all my long distance friends and family think I am getting the "other" dress, and I will leave it that way.
My mom, my three bridesmaids and that's about it. Some people asked to see a picture of the dress so I put up on protected on facebook, a picture of the back of the bodice, partially covered by a veil. I felt kind of sneaky.
Oh, and the bridal store attendants- one knew my brother from high school or church, I may have shown my brother a picture but he wasn't all that interested.

So far my parents, brother, and bridesmaids have seen my dress. I'm trying to keep it a secret from other people, but also really want to showmy FMIL, aunt, and grandma.
Who are you, or who do you plan to, show your dress to?
