Monique Lhuillier's tips for wedding gown shopping

An article published in the USA Weekend lists Monique's tips when shopping for a wedding gown. They are:

1. Go in with an open mind. You may think you know what you're looking for and what works for you, but you have to try on several different dresses.

2. Don't shop with too many people. You'll just get confused, because everyone has an opinion. Listen to the little voice inside of you.

3. Fit is key. Be as comfortable as you can in your wedding gown. The better it fits, the happier you will be on the big day.
