Dress Regret!

Sheila, on September 23, 2019 at 2:49 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 13
I bought my dress in April and my wedding is in January, I didn’t try on too many dresses and ended up picking this one (I’m a very indecisive person). I’m having some major regret and I can’t exchange it. Should I remove some of the ‘poof’ from the dress? I’d like to add straps but I haven’t found any that would look good with it. I’m not sure if a belt would help either. I went to a smaller dress shop so they didn’t have many belts and straps to try on. Just looking for some input.

    How much did you pay for the dress? Most shops will let you use that towards another dress.

    I think it's a gorgeous dress!!! Dress regret is real especially if you are looking at other dresses still (and if you are stop now!!) I had it but on the day when my hair/make up was done and I had on my jewelry there were zero thoughts of it being the wrong dress! Do you have the dress in your possession? If so maybe put it back on with jewelry or just put it on and remember the feeling you had when originally picked it out!

    Your dress is beautiful, but I completely understand the dress regret. I think the poof of the dress is very minimal and looks great. Maybe you could buy a few belts on Amazon and see how you feel with those and return whatever you don't like.

    The dress is beautiful on you. I would not look at the dress for a while, buy all the accessories that you plan to wear & the next time you try it on doll yourself up. sometimes when we look at the same things in different ways it makes us remember why we liked it.

    I think your dress is gorgeous and not too poofy! Could you take it to a seamstress and see what kind of straps they think would work?

    Ooh I think it's very lovely on you! The leaves are so pretty (and similar to my dress!) I think the amount of poof is very flattering, but if you want less, your seamstress could always remove a layer or two. It's so easy to obsess over the dress and critique it in pictures but it really comes down to how you felt in it! I'm taking a time-out from looking at my pictures because it was causing me so much anxiety. Just keep in mind that a good seamstress can make all kinds of little adjustments that can change the entire look if you want!

    I Love that dress. I’m planning on adding simple straps with tulle off the shoulder straps to mine. Very easy to do.

    Wow I think this dress looks amazing and feel nothing needs to be done to it. I def understand how you are feeling. I am very indecisive and I feel like I am going to be a hard time when it comes to my dress shopping. def get it, however your dress would look awesome with some detachable straps !

    I love your dress! You look gorgeous. The lace is very similar to my wedding dress. The top of my dress is going to be altered into more of a sweetheart neckline like yours. The straps came with my dress, but a similar style may look good with yours. Best of luck!
