Buyer's Remorse?

I love your first dress without the sleeves ‘

Thank you!

First dress with sleeves is my favorite -- but even without sleeves I think it's more flattering than the other.

Honestly, when you close your eyes what dress do you think of? Which dress makes you want to run down the aisle? When you wake up in the morning, which dress do you think of first?


You look great in both dresses but honestly which is the one you just can not live without/ your wedding would not be complete without.

They are both beautiful but I love the first without the sleeves. But as Victoria said, when you close your eyes and picture your wedding day, which dress do you picture yourself in?

The choice is yours. Go with your gut not with the opinions of others.

The last dress gives you such a nice shape, so that’s easily the winner for me. I’m similar height so I get it 😂

I personally LOVE your first dress. But words of advice: Once you've found your dress, stop shopping for other ones because you will continue to find yourself in this predicament. If cost isn't a problem then so be it, but if you will lose out on money I wouldn't keep looking. You can always put a dress on hold and come back to it if you really like it, but if you aren't sure don't buy it!

Love the dress with the sleeves, this is gorgeous

I like the first dress with sleeves, though without sleeves is pretty too! The skirt has a beautiful shape on you. And there's no shame in finding your dress at the first place you go to. There are lots of pretty dresses out there, but when you find one you love, you find one you love! It can be that simple - it was that way for me too! Just don't look back once you've made a decision or you'll drive yourself crazy 😁

Love the first dress the most!

😊

I'm in a similar place- I've been to 4 different stores and at each store I've found a dress that could be "the dress," compared to all the other dresses at that particular store. That's ultimately the goal of each boutique- to narrow down the dresses out of their selection to find the ONE that you like best. So, now I have 4 dresses that could be "the dress," and very limited ability to try them on side by side! And I have honestly liked all 4 dresses about the same. Also, I've found that after trying on so many dresses, I start to get confused about what I like and dislike, and how each dress felt. And I'm getting less excited about each dress- I think I'm getting dress fatigue! Lol.


Anyway, all this to say- there's going to be more than one dress out there that you love and that would be perfect for your wedding day. Give yourself a few days to marinate on the top two dresses so far, and see which one you feel more confident picturing yourself in at your wedding. Sometimes your brain needs a day or two to let the idea of a dress sink in, before you can feel comfortable deciding. Don't feel like you need to go to every single boutique- you'll undoubtedly find 1 dress that you love best at each place, and you'll just end up more confused!
Also, you look absolutely stunning in both dresses- no matter which one you ultimately pick, it's going to end up being the perfect dress for you, because it's the one that you picked.
Last piece of advice- I narrowed down my decision by asking myself, "which dress would my FH like best?" There was a clear answer to that question, and it actually was not the dress that I personally liked best. But I personally want to be confident that my FH is going to adore my dress, so I went with that one.

I love the first dress on you. It’s beautiful. I’d stick with it and stop shopping. But it’s ultimately your descision.

I love the first dress! It's gorgeous on you and looks great with and without the sleeves. Plus you said this is what you've always envisioned yourself in

I think both dresses are beautiful but I like the first one on you better.

I love the second one it’s stunning

I love the first dress but it's still hard to decide with sleeves or not. Both ways are still very pretty!

The first dress without sleeves is gorgeous and I think it elongates you just fine.

I think the first dress with sleeves is gorgeous, I love that off the shoulder look

My first thought is if you are truly conflicted about your choice, I'd cancel the dress you've ordered and then give yourself some time to shop more and try additional dresses, so you feel certain about your choice...even if you ultimately go back and reorder the current dress $150 is a relatively small loss. But, if you really do love the dress you've ordered and are just getting in your own head with ideas of "what dress shopping should have been," I'd keep the dress you chose/love and, as others have suggested, STOP LOOKING/SHOPPING because you're just setting yourself up for stress and potential financial losses.

Daughter was concerned she'd make a choice and then regret it, so she committed ahead of our first shop visit to NOT make a decision while in a store for the first time. The second store we went to was DB, and as expected, they did try REALLY hard to pressure her into an immediate decision regarding a dress she liked a lot. When she was almost really to give in and buy it, she asked what I thought and I reminded her of her plan to not make a snap decision. She then asked the saleswoman to make an appointment for her to come back in a week and we continued on with the rest of her scheduled appointments. By the fourth salon, she had a much clearer vision of exactly what she wanted, so as soon as she tried on what would become "her dress" in that store, we both knew it was the one without any doubts. She ordered her dress 16 months before the wedding and received it about a year before. As far as I know, she never looked at another dress after that and LOVED her dress...and, even now, more than 18 months after her wedding, she still does. Good luck!
