Dress Regret

Alright ladies...I’m having my third bout of dress regret. I keep going back and forth with this and I have no idea what to do. I am almost exactly 5 months out (our date is 1/25/20), so I’m sure finding a new dress will be difficult, but not impossible. My dress and cathedral veil are expected to arrive in November, so I know I can’t wait until then to keep looking if that’s what I decide to do. I think my biggest issue is I want more poof (should’ve gone for a ball gown, not to a line). What would you suggest...go to a few stores and try some more on? Also thinking I chose the wrong veil (the veil I chose is the one in the last picture, not pictured with my dress). Or stick with what I have and hope a seamstress can give me what I’m looking for? Has anyone had luck with bridal shops working with you after signing a final sale contract? Attached photos are my current dress
any advice will be appreciated!!

I honestly think that veil will work really well with the dress. I'm super honest on this site so you've got a vote for keep it from me lol. Also like the pp said there's plenty of material in that skirt to allow room for a petite coat under to give the poof you want. It will look fabulous

Update!!!
So, the shoo agreed to switch out my veil, which I’m grateful for! However, I did go to try on other dresses and I just got that bridal feeling in them that I don’t get when looking back at my current dress! I will post photos below. #1 is A LOT of dress, very heavy and will not match my veil, but I loved the way I felt in it. #2 doesn’t fit properly so you can’t see what the back should look like and #3 has the glitter skirt that I love. I tried on #3 the first time I tried on dresses and I still love it, but I am just not sure if it looks too common. But I love #1 and 2 as well. Which do you ladies like/most flattering?

Wow huge difference that made! It looks beautiful both ways on you but definitely different. I like how after adding crinoline it seems like it fits your legs better and gives a more elegant look.
I agree that she should try doing something along these lines or a petticoat first before buying a new one

They all honeslty look so good on you. If I have to choose, I would say 2 or 3 (leaning more on 2) because I feel that they show off your shape better

Thank you, Meghan! When I tried all of these on, I instantly felt like there was hope! Lol. I love #2, I just want sparkle on it...which #3 has. The back of 2 would look like this once it fits me, which I love. The only thing I don’t love about #3 is the plain back.
