Davids Bridal disaster.. I broke down in tears

Yesterday was supposed to be a fun day trying on dresses but I had a melt down in Davids Bridal.

Yesterday was supposed to be a fun day trying on dresses but I had a melt down in Davids Bridal. I've gained 60 lbs the last 2 years and I didn't realize how much different I looked until I got in front of a huge mirror in an ivory dress. The girl from DB was giving me dresses too small to try on so I freaked out. I couldn't even get them on to step out of the dressing room to get an idea. When i finally had enough champagne to calm down I found a dress I'm ok with but ordered it a size smaller and will add a corset in the back (I'm busting my ass at the gym for the next 5 months). It's not what I had envisioned at all but I have to feel comfortable. I don't like the neckline so they are going to alter it to a sweetheart neckline. I'm worried that alterations will somehow jack up my dress. What do you all think? I have a pic with a sash and no sash. Added bonus is that I found a flower girl dress that matches my dress exactly only with spaghetti straps added.

    You look fabulous!

    Some advice? Don't get alterations done through David's. They're not always good and they're extremely overpriced.

    I think you look beautiful and, even though I normly don't like sashes, I think the pink one looks great with your dress.

    That dress looks great on you! I really like the sash it brings the eyes up and loos like you have more support up top. Something with a little more bling would be pretty!

    I'm so sorry you had that experience, but on the bright side you look absolutely gorgeous in your dress. Please read this, and don't go crazy if you miss a day at the gym. It's all about how much you eat.

    I'm so sorry that your experience wasn't what you had envisioned but you look beautiful! And you look even more stunning when you're smiling and happy! A smile makes all the difference so just love yourself! Also good for you for deciding to bust your butt at the gym, your hard work will pay off Smiley smile

    I understand where you are coming from OP. The dress I bought from DB didn't fit either so I had to imagine what I would look like in the dress and bought it a size bigger. I'm currently on a mission to lose weight as well. Our weddings are the same weekend so I will be thinking of you when I workout! We got this!!

    @FutureMrsG you look gorgeous! I have gained weight over the last few years also. Find or make your dress into one that will make you feel beautiful. It's your day!

    I see a beautiful woman in a beautiful dress. Your alterations plan sounds great and I hope once the adjustments are done you fall in love with it all over again

    For what it's worth, I think you look beautiful but I understand where you're coming from. I end up bawling every time I try on bathing suits.

    You look gorgeous and I love it with the sash. The corset back will look amazing.

    Wedding and fancy dress shopping is so demoralizing. The sizes are bigger than standard off the rack sizes and a lot of the boutiques only carry samples for model size girls as if the rest of us don't ever go to events or get married.

    I truly love the dress just how it is. Without the sash or maybe a thin sparkly belt.
