No, but many now charge for appointments so that tends to focus the mind - a fee which is usually deducted off the price of your dress, if you do order.

If you find somewhere that doesn't charge, go there first to get an idea of what suits your dd. And don't be surprised if you do fall in love with a dress - or alternatively if you don't find anything at the first shop.

Obviously some shops and some sales staff are more pushy than others, so do your homework,bread the reviews, and go in prepared.

Good luck.

Of course not, why would you have to buy on the day? I’m sure they’ll be pushy but make sure you explain you’re looking at different brands.
