Don’t like my dress anymore...

Lindsey, on February 26, 2021 at 12:59 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 5
This is kind of just a vent because I’m absolutely locked in with this dress, I cant afford & don’t have time to change it. I was second guessing my choice right after purchasing because it didn’t fit my initial vision, but I got over that because I loved the way it looked on me. Well the other day I had my first alterations appointment and when I put on the dress my heart sank. I didn’t feel any sort of wow factor like I did when I got it. So not only does the dress not fit my vision, it doesn’t even look good on me.


I felt like it didn’t look great on my body, didn’t fit right on my upper half, just wasn’t flattering at all. I don’t know why I feel this way because the multiple times i’ve put it on over the months i’ve loved it and felt like it was flattering. I haven’t gained weight, I’ve been working out a lot and eating healthy but my body hasn’t changed that much so I just don’t understand. I did feel like it looked better when it was pinned so hopefully when I go for my fitting after it’s altered I will love it again..

    I'm sure the dress looks wonderful on you and you'll get the "wow" feeling back after then next fitting. Your body may have changed more than you realized. You can always try it on with you hair/makeup/veil and such to see if you still love it.

    So sorry you're feeling this way. Did you show your dress to others then receive negative feedback? I've read so many stories on the forums where situations like that happen.

    I’m sending you good vibes your way! Are you wearing a veil? If so, did you try it on with your dress? What about the other accessories?

    I’m so sorry. That sucks. I felt similar about my dress and wish I had been more vocal about how uncomfortable the bust area made me. But I didn’t say anything since everyone along the way kept saying how great it looked, but I ended up not loving how I looked in my dress on top of being incredibly uncomfortable in it day of. If it’s still not how you want it during your next fitting, definitely say something so that at minimum you are comfortable in it!
