Dress regret ladies - Did you keep the dress? Are you happy you did?

Morgan, on April 20, 2018 at 10:42 AM

Posted in Wedding Attire 45

When I picked out my dress I LOVED it, didn't want to take it off, it was comfortable, easy to walk in, MOH cried. But now that it's been a month I'm questioning it... I've always wanted a mermaid dress but something about the mermaid dresses I tried on I didn't like. Did anyone have dress regret...

When I picked out my dress I LOVED it, didn't want to take it off, it was comfortable, easy to walk in, MOH cried. But now that it's been a month I'm questioning it... I've always wanted a mermaid dress but something about the mermaid dresses I tried on I didn't like. Did anyone have dress regret and keep the dress for the wedding? How did it go? Do you wish you got a different dress or are you happy with your decision?

Here's the one I picked:

    I had the same feeling! Love my dress but I've just always envisioned a mermaid/form fitting dress and I can't imagine marrying my FH in the dress I picked. Since I do love the dress and it was expensive/nonrefundable I'm going to keep it for the reception. It's also easy to walk/move in. I'm going to buy a second dress for the ceremony so that I can marry him in the dress I always envisioned. After reading everyone's comments on the post I texted my MOH and her first response was if I feel this way I should definitely get a new one haha so I have an appointment Saturday.

    Yeah I'm going to get a second dress in the style I originally wanted and wear it for the ceremony/photos then use a second dress for the reception (since it was expensive and nonrefundable)

    Have you had a chance to put it on again? Usually putting it on again makes you fall in love with it!

    Try to remember what you loved about the dress. I had some dress regret too for a while, but I put it on again and fell right back in love. I think there's so much hype around "the" dress that when you find it, your brain starts playing tricks on you.

    I'm sure you'll love it again, especially when you're all dolled up ready to walk down the aisle!

    Yeah I think I will, but even when I bought it there was a small part of me thinking this wasn't what I initially wanted.I thought I would get over it but I haven't so I'm just going to get a second and use them both I guess

    It's all about the feeling! When the consultant brought my dress into the fitting room (she actually picked it), I thought it was so ugly. But when I put it on, it completely transformed. It was the most unique dress I have ever had on and the material is light and comfortable. I didn't want to take it off. That is how you know that it is the right dress for you. You want to be comfortable on your wedding day! If you love the dress, you will be radiant in it! Smiley smile
