Bought a wedding dress and found another I like better!

Has anyone experienced this dilemma. I went dress shopping 2 weeks ago with family, found a dress and after mulling it over, went back and purchased (from David's Bridal).

Has anyone experienced this dilemma. I went dress shopping 2 weeks ago with family, found a dress and after mulling it over, went back and purchased (from David's Bridal). It was a bit high pressure - the dress is "discontinued" so there were no guarantees on looking around. For 2 weeks I've had bad dreams and just don't love it. I LIKE it but it's not AMAZING. Today I went to another shop and felt all swoony about a gorgeous one for 2x the price.

I can't back out of the first one - it comes in in March but has anyone sold an unworn, unaltered dress?

    Both of your new options are MUCH better than the first two. It's great that they will work with you on the dress you already ordered.

    So wait, you had regrets, found a new one you loved. but then went in and now have these 2 that you love? what about the original NEW dress? what is it you love about each?

    @ Andixlyn - I purchased a dress at DB, then have regretted it every day since. I looked in a different dress shop on Friday - at 2 more similar dresses that I liked better than the purchased one. Someone here said that DB might consider exchanging and to call them so I went yesterday and tried on the 2 most recent pictures posted - so those are the 2 new contenders for replacing the already purchased dress. Bottomline, I will NOT be wearing the original dress I purchased so if I can't exchange through DB, I will try to sell it when it comes in.

    Out of the 2 NEWEST, i pick #1, #2 looks, dated, for lack of a better word.

    DB told me if i end up knocked up (i'm TTC) that i can swap my dress which is why i havent altered it at all. you should be good to swap. just be sure what you like about the dress. they all are lace, except the final one, so it seems you like lace better?

    Thanks andixlyn!! I love the corset back of #2 but there is something about it that I'm not 100% loving. I'm giving myself a week this time til I go back to try on again and choose! So far, no nightmares.

    I would be in trouble if I got pregnant again so we wont TTC until about 1-2 months before. Our first was a surprise in every way imaginable but i can't bank on it being that "easy" the 2nd time around. Good luck!

    They are the same style, both are beautiful, but if I were you, I will choose the first one.
