I went to the sales day in October. They opened 10 minutes later with kind apologies. We (brides and friends and moms) were let in and measured. I was told that I was size 14 for the bridal gown (street size 12). Myself and my friend were browsing through the rows of dresses, and we were offered some to have a look at. There was a feeling of rush, but it was understandable because it was a sales day.

We were allowed to try 5 dresses in one go. I never thought I was going to have a strapless dress with the long trail, but when I was shown and dressed in it, I understood that it was MY dress - I did not want to take it off. The sales lady at Berketex bride in Caring Cross did not want to give me the veil in the beginning, which I found quite upsetting, but later it mysteriously appeared on my head, together with a bouquet. It really made a big difference!

In the end I am very happy with my wedding dress, although maybe it was a bit too early to buy it (11 months before the wedding on my first wedding dress trial), but I love it to bits.
