Dress regret? Hayley Paige PLUS sized.

catobx, on October 22, 2017 at 1:00 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 57

Hey ya'll, I posted a week or two ago about the dream dress I purchased. I love it so much but from a minority of people I have showed it to, which is not many, have given me other favorites. They are all Hayely Paige I tried on, and I have already put down a deposit on my dream gown (the first one shown) but I am second guessing things, maybe I am just anxious and being weird. Has anyone second guessed after putting down the deposit? Also I must add none of these fit me well - I am plus sized and the samples were... really not. So the sleeves fit weirdly in the pics. I have loved my gown every day since I tried it on but I am scared one of the others is better? I agree with mom on the fact that the top of #3 is amazing but I didn't think the skirt did anything for my frame. I still love #1 but I want to be sure. Opinions are greatly appreciated Smiley winking

    The first pic with the blush dress is my favorite. It's gorgeous.

    Don't look at other dresses. Just keep looking at yours!

    I love all of them on you but my fav is the first. But you go with what your heart wants. Close your eyes and picture yourself walking down the isle, what do you see yourself and smile in?

    While the other two dresses are beautiful, the one you picked really flatters you.

    You've picked your dress so stop looking. Delete the photos of you in other dresses. Dress regret is normal because it's such a big decision but you look stunning in your choice. Be confident in that.

    Thanks ladies, I really appreciate the input, honestly. I hadn't second guessed the first one, the blush gown, which was my choice, until one of my two MOH's said she liked the second better, and she knows me really well. But something about that blush color (which HP calls Rosewater) made my skin tone shine. And I just felt more comfortable in that one over the others, I honestly didn't want to take it off. But looking back at photos I still wonder, what *if*? Being a bride, and then on top of that a plus sized bride, one has to take a serious look at what will make them feel best and look best on the day. The first one is a dream but I worry about my back fat and rolls. I don't post a pic of that because I am embarrassed, and want to try to lose it. Everyone I have seen in this particular gown is svelte, so I guess maybe that adds to the questioning. Anyway, thank you all, you are all lovely and I appreciate your insight a lot - a LOT.

    I like both of the first two a lot, much better than the third one.

    First one is stunning. Once you've made that decision just trust yourself and your judgement. You picked that dress once, if you go through the whole process again you'll end up with the same decision. And you'll have wasted a lot of time and effort. Trust yourself!

    To me the top look similar for all 3. But I looove the skirt on the first one. It's unique!

    I think you should stick with the one you ordered it's beautiful and quite frankly #2 looks like #1 and #3 I agree completely with mom but Your dress dream looks beautiful on you.

    I remember your first post and I still love everything about number 1! I think the whole dress compliments you so well and I love the color!

    Thank you all so kindly for the reassurance; I honestly hate having second thoughts about something so big, and I was sure within myself but I guess I let outside noise in too much. Also to those who saw my first post I am sorry for doubling up. Wedding Wire just seems like an awesome community and I feel much more comfortable talking to you ladies than others on such a topic Smiley smile XOXO

    Your dress is beautiful and you will be spectacular on your wedding day. The other two dresses are also very pretty, but what you said is key, you felt the most comfortable in that one. This means you 100% made the right choice. Hold on to how happy you were when you picked your dress, there is a kind of radiance people get when they are in something they really love and that is something no amount of money (or lack of some rolls) can buy.

    I am sure once you have your dress back on, there will be no doubts you made the right choice Smiley smile

    #1 is my fave. And it actually looks like a combination of 2 and 3, so it's kinda like you're getting all of them!

    I liked the one that you had picked. And you called it your dress dress! Don't let other people make you second guess it.
