Dress Dilemma

I've seen many brides on here change their dresses, especially Covid brides. Can you get it altered to something you will like? Or are you thinking about buying a complete new dress!

I had a ballgown dress I liked, but didn't love. I was planning on wearing it then a month before my wedding I went with my mom to look for a dress to wear to my after party. I ended up calling inove with a dress there so I had the original dress shortened and I wore it to my after party and the one I loved for the ceremony and reception. I'm guessing you mean your new date is 6/26/21 rather than 6/26/20 as that date has already passed. One reason I'm guessing you don't like it anymore is because it is long sleeves and you are having a summer wedding. I would talk to your seamstress. I am also guessing you don't like it asuch because you bought it a long time ago and you've probably looked online at least at other dresses.

View Quoted Comment Well that’s a relief! I originally had it change to long sleeve it was off the shoulder. N to change again ehh. I guess as the years evolved and looking at other dresses didn’t help!

View Quoted Comment Yes I meant 2021. Thanks! And yes looking online at other dress is part of why I’m second guessing. 😫

View Quoted Comment Unfortunately, that happens when you buy a dress so early. I would recommend talking to your seamstress to see what can be done. In the dressI loved, I had a layer of sparkles added in order to make it look exactly like I wanted.

It's not uncommon, especially with COVID brides.

View Quoted Comment Yeah that's why most recommend not to keep looking for a dress after you purchase yours lol

I’ve changed my dress as many times as I’ve had to move my wedding dress 😂. And you know what, I look at the pics of dress 1 and think, I see why I liked it but, that wasn’t me. I look at dress two and think, really? Dress 3 is everything I wanted. However, I had not done alterations yet and I got mine at David’s Bridal where exchanging was a breeze. Had I already done alterations I probably would have settled and let it be. So it depends on what your specific situation is. If you have the financial ability to get another dress, I say do what makes you feel beautiful 😍

View Quoted Comment Haha. Thank you so much for this. Definitely makes me feel better if I go that route!
