Dress regret?! Help

Dress regret?! Help 1

Dress regret?! Help 2

This is the dress I just bought, except I ordered it in Ivory so it will look whiter than this. I'm an overthinker by nature lol so I'm having this little voice in the back of my head asking if this was the right decision or if I rushed it. The dress is beautiful and I was in between two dresses. I went in to my second appointment convinced to buy the other dress but when I put this one on I felt more like a "bride" and went with it. The other dress almost made me cry the first time I tried it on so I think that's part of why I'm doubting my decision. Any tips on these feelings?

    I think you look absolutely amazing in this dress!!!! your a stunning bride and would look good in whichever dress you decide on!!! I am in love with the train of this dress,it looks so elegant and if you had both dresses on and your reaction was towards this one as your purchase then I'm sure that the second thoughts are just you second guessing things as a bride we want everything to be perfect and sometimes it's hard to stick with our choices knowing that there are so many options! but looking at you I think this dress is gorgeous and will look even better when your all ser for the big day!!!

    The two dresses look pretty similar, and they’re both stunning. If they were drastically different and you were feeling like you really didn’t like your purchased dress anymore I’d say you should go back and try them both on again and see how you feel. Since they’re so similar, and you don’t seem to dislike your dress, it sounds like a case of second guessing because there are so many options out there. Your dress is beautiful and it looks amazing on you.


    Dress regret happens to almost everyone. It happened to me, but I started to actively loathe my original dress, which was when I decided to exchange it for a new one. As time passes you can usually start to tell the difference haha.

    If you want the other one more you could probably still call the store- they may not have even put the order through yet.

    I think it happens to all of us. There are so many choices out there and they are all beautiful. I wish I could wear several dresses but can’t! You are a beautiful girl and both those dresses look awesome on you! Try not to stress and keep moving forward. You future husband is going to be so happy when he sees you
