At Merle Norman & More, the goal is to help every girl feel confident, comfortable, and beautiful in the dress she chooses. Keep these six tips in mind for a smooth and enjoyable shopping experience.
1. Schedule Your Appointment Early
Booking early gives you access to the widest selection of dresses and ensures you receive one-on-one attention from an experienced stylist who can focus entirely on your needs. This also allows time for alterations if needed, so nothing feels rushed.
2. Bring Inspiration, Not Pressure
Photos and ideas are helpful, but staying open-minded allows you to explore styles you may not have considered and discover what truly flatters your body and personality. Trying different looks can often lead to a pleasant surprise.
3. Think About the Complete Look
Considering makeup, hair, shoes, and accessories while shopping helps create a cohesive look that feels polished and intentional from head to toe. Merle Norman & More offers shoes and earrings in-store, so you can try them on with your dress to see the full look come together.
4. Wear or Bring the Right Essentials
Bringing proper undergarments and shoes with a similar heel height helps you see how the dress will fit, move, and feel on the night of your event. This makes it easier to choose a dress that’s both comfortable and flattering.
5. Trust the Professional Guidance
The stylists at Merle Norman & More have years of experience helping girls choose formalwear and can offer honest advice on fit, color, and overall style. Their trained eye can help you feel confident in your final choice.
