Help! Dress remorse... Is this normal?!

So, literally about a month out before my wedding. I'm having some dress remorse. I love my dress, but now I'm feeling like I could have gotten another dress. Given, we only had three and half months to plan a wedding so time wasn't really on my side. I also feel that the dress is very flattering...

So, literally about a month out before my wedding. I'm having some dress remorse. I love my dress, but now I'm feeling like I could have gotten another dress. Given, we only had three and half months to plan a wedding so time wasn't really on my side. I also feel that the dress is very flattering for my body type and fits the venue (small backyard wedding) So I love the dress that I found for the time that I had and the price too was great! (Only $349) did any of you girls experience any dress remorse? One of my friends suggested to go look at more dresses, which should confirm that the dress I chose is the one for me. What do you guys think?

    The dress is very beautiful and flattering. If you're having regrets, look into accessory options instead of a new dress. Maybe trying another belt will help. Try a few styles because accessories make a world of difference.

    I went through a bit of dress regret awhile after I ordered mine. I do agree that it's normal but also agree that it's a good idea to completely stop looking at other dresses once you have yours. Your dress is beautiful and you're right... .perfect for the occasion and it's so flattering on you!

    That is beautiful! My MOH got married last October and she had dress remorse. We went back to look at the dress she wished she bought. She didn't try it on but was able to point out how much she loved the dress she got once she looked at the other one in the store. I think it's a normal feeling.

    It looks beautiful on you! I don't think you should go look at more dresses, it will make it worse. I know how you feel though. I just ordered my dress a week ago and I'm already thinking "am I SURE?".

    The dress looks great on you I think if you go look at other dresses it will make you doubt the dress you choose even more. I say close your eyes and imagine yourself walking down the isle in that dress you choose it for a reason

    I feel your pain. Don't look at more dresses!

    I did......I am now on my 3rd dress! Luckily, the shop I have been dealing with allows me to exchange within a certain amount of time. My wedding is 2 weeks away, so I think I am done switching it up now lol.

    That dress is beautiful ad looks amazing! i had a little dress remorse after i bought mine because i had tried on another dress that everyone else LOVED, even people i didnt know were commenting on me in it, but it wasnt what i wanted. after i bought mine i thought, "maybe i should have gotten that dress," but i saw it again after that and remembered why i didnt get it and felt better. i think it is normal because there is so much pressure on finding the perfect dress.

    The dress is GORGEOUS! Unless you are willing to drop a bunch of cash to get a new dress or to get one rushed, I would not look at other dresses. It may make your dress remorse worse.

    I think that once you get all of your accessories, hair, make up, etc done and you are looking at yourself on the day of your wedding you will feel confident in your decision. That dress looks really great on you and that belt is fabulous.

    Absolutely do not listen to your friends! Don't look at more dresses, it just makes things more difficult. You picked the dress for a reason, right? Keep that in mind when you have regrets!

    Sometimes it helps me not have dress regret just putting my dress on and standing in it. It helps me remember why I picked it. In my opinion, this dress is stunning on you.

    ETA: I forget where it's from (maybe from Say Yes to the Dress), but I remember someone comparing dress shopping to dating. When you find the one, you don't keep shopping around just because you can Smiley winking
