How to get over feeling ugly in my dress?

kav1994, on May 31, 2016 at 5:04 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 33

I just went in for a dress fitting today, and I honestly wanted to cry because I felt so ugly. The dress is beautiful, I just felt fat and very ugly, and not pretty. How do you get over those feelings? /:

    Is it too tight? maybe it can be let out.. but that is completely up to you. I'm sure you are stunning in it, and that it's nothing a little bling can't help!

    I don't think it's too tight! I think the problem is I can't see the whole thing coming together. My hair is not too far past my shoulders, and I don't know what to do for hair. My stylist and others have said that with a strapless dress, half up/half down looks the best, but my hair is too short my taste to do that. I'm not sure, I'm lost about that, and I can't picture the finished look, so I feel imcomplete and ugly.

    I'm not sure about your hair, even the way it's down in the picture looks absolutely gorgeous. That dress is, without a doubt, beautiful. And you look beautiful in it! Try not to overthink anything.

    Your hair is long enough, if you want more length you could get some clip in extensions from Sally's for maybe $100...

    I totally know where you're coming from with those feelings. Been having lots of those myself, especially since I tried my dress on yesterday and it doesn't even fit Smiley sad I know it's a lot easier for us all to tell you it looks great on you and not to worry because you look stunning (even though it's completely true), but try to believe it. If I figure out how to get over those feelings completely, I'll let you know!

    Whenever I feel ugly, I realize it's because I've been focusing on the negative rather than the positive. Self love is a huge thing. Every time you pass by a mirror say "hey beautiful" and push back those negative thoughts. You look incredible, btw!

    I think that those feelings are pretty common. I feel the same way in mine sometimes, but you just need to remember that you are not seeing the final picture. You are going to have your hair done and your make up done and maybe a spray tan or whatever else you feel you want for the big day! When everything comes together with accessories and the beauty routine, it will all look great together! You look absolutely gorgeous in your dress! It is beautiful on you! Try not to stress about it and realize that it will all come together on your big day!

    I bet that once the alterations are complete you'll like the way you look. Please don't put yourself down, you'll be a beautiful bride!

    ETA: OMG, you are gorgeous! I hadn't seen the photo before I finished my post.

    You look beautiful! Maybe the "incomplete" feeling you're having is because you want veil/make up/hair/jewelry. That's understandable Smiley smile and smile! You're in love and getting married!

    I wish I had that waist definition! You look great. We all have those feelings of insecurity from time to time.

    Your dress really suits your figure well, and if you're worried about a "complete" look you could try adding a belt with some bling? I would also try having your stylist pull back some of your hair, not a full half-up/half-down, to see what you could do with that!

    That dress is gorgeous and you look amazing in it! Also, you have a few months to play around with different hairstyles. Do you have a dress or top with a similar neckline at home so you can see how different hairstyles will look with it? I think your hair is beautiful the way you have it now actually, but play around with your veil too, to see what works and find something that you're happy with. Also don't let your stylist or anyone else talk you into wearing your hair in a style you don't like.

    I think you look lovely and some nice soft beachy waves loosely pinned up would be so pretty!

    I think that dress looks beautiful on you. Have you already done hair and makeup trials? Sometimes that helps you get a feel for it.

    Focus on your assets, you will be beautiful and glowing on your big day.
