Dress envy

Lindsey, on November 6, 2018 at 8:39 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11
Hey everyone,
Has anyone else gone through dress envy? I got my dress super early (over a year before the wedding) and got a majority of the alterations done back in may/ June. I was in love with my dress in the store but now it's been months since I have seen my dress in person (I left it back home with my parents so I wouldn't have to fly with it). When I look at pictures of the dress after alterations I get a bit nauseous. Idk if it's just been so long or if I don't like it after altering it. I cut the train off because it's a beach wedding and I also hate the look of bustles. It may still need some alterations But something isn't sitting right with me. Im attaching pics from in the store and from my last alterations.
Any advice? Is it just that I got it so early or is there really something off after the alterations?

    You can always add something to make you fall in love like you did before? Jewels? Sash?
    If not, I advise that you stop looking at other dresses. Stop looking for a month, go back to your dress and see if you still like it. If not, then you’ll know.

    Your dress is gorgeous. The same thing happened to me. I knew I was moving across the country so I bought mine early. While it was in alterations I saw this blush dress with thin glittery straps and I had so much regret. Blush doesn’t match my venue or theme I just thought it was so pretty. But then when I picked up my dress from alterations I thought omg this is the most beautiful dress ever and I look like a princess. Hopefully you’ll have the same feeling when you see it again!

    I think I need to have the guy who does my alterations fix the sides. To take it in (it was a size 8 sample sale dress) he cinched it at the sides so it makes all the tulle at my hips puff out. I go home in December so I'm definitely going to put it on again to remember why I love it. I do my best not to look at other dresses but they seem to be all over my social media haha

    The neckline isn’t as low as it was before alterations. (And not as low in the back either.) Maybe that’s what’s throwing you off? That’s really the only difference I can see, other than the train.

    Oh my goodness! That might be it! In the boutique I though my boobs looked fantastic but at the tailor they seem more modest. I didn't have the right bra on at that fitting so I'll have to try it on and check again. Thank you

    I love it! On the day of you'll be all dolled up with make up and accessories and it will be perfect. It's definitely a good beach wedding dress.

    I had dress envy quite a few times but I loved my dress because it's tea length and we could go out on the Vegas strip without dealing with bustles or any of that fussiness. I mostly just had the body envy of brides who had sexier dresses that would have looked terrible on me lol.
