When shopping for the perfect dress, it can be a very difficult knowing which dress is truly the “one” dress for you. Here, we present the 5 ways to know you found the perfect dress:

1) You and your entourage cry. There is no bigger indicator than just seeing yourself in your gown and envisioning yourself in it on your wedding day. If your bridesmaids start to cry, this is probably a good sign!

2) You can’t stop thinking about that “one” dress. You wake up in the middle of the night, the dress you tried on the night before is burned into the inside of your eyelids. You cannot stop thinking about it and there is just something about that dress that just haunts your thoughts.

3) You compare all other dresses to this “one” dress. Every other gown just pales in comparison. This is pretty much just code for, “get that “one” gown, get it now!

4) You linger in it the most. You try on 7, 8, 9, or even more gowns when you come in to find that “one” dress. But there is one that you try on that just seems to be the one you stay in. You already have a connection and it shows.

5) You feel beautiful and confident. You stand in that mirror and you just feel a sudden sense of power. You are a rock’n'roll bride and your dress truly compliments your confident nature and it simply screams “match made in heaven.”
