Dress Regret

So I fell absolutely in love with my dress when I tried it on. It was almost exactly what I had envisioned and I figured I could add thicker straps after I purchased it (which the seamstress says I can). But when I was looking at Pinterest to show them how I want the straps I found this other dress...

But when I was looking at Pinterest to show them how I want the straps I found this other dress and it’s EXACTLY what I envisioned with no changes. Now I’m regretting buying my dress and wishing I had found this other one. It’s very similar to mine but I still wish I had found this other one first! Just had to rant!

    You might be able to add some fabric behind the cups (instead of straps) to give you the look you want with your beautiful lace - I would show the seamstress both photos and ask. Ps. I made a prom dress so I do have knowledge of sewing - I bet she can do something that will give you the look you want and yet, even better! Smiley heart

    Oh yes the wonderful Aidan dress!!! I too LOVED this dress and almost went with it but once I tried it on, it didn't look very bridal. The top part looks amazing but it honestly doesn't scream wedding to me now that I've actually tried it on. It looks more casual honestly. Now your dress is very similar but definitely looks more bridal. I love your dress and I personally don't think you need to make your straps as big as the Aidan dress, it will take away from the gorgeous design of it. Maybe a tiny tiny bigger for security purposes but nothing more. Sometimes it's helpful to see others in a dress you think you want so here's a pic of me in the Aidan and of course it's wayyyyy to small lol, this dress was made for women with smaller breast I believe because it was way to much popping out for me lol. And I also watched the videos of the models walking in the Aidan dress and I still had the same feeling; to casual. I think you found the perfect dress for you, way better than the Aidan in my opinion! You made a good decision, stop worrying you'll look fabulous!

    You’re so right! Seeing it in normal lighting does make it look very casual (but it still looks beautiful on you!)
