I don't like my dress anymore, please help.

FutureMrsHolloway, on December 4, 2013 at 11:28 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 65

I don't want to be judged, but I went about 2 months ago to pick out my dress...I found one I was in LOVE with, but well, now I'm not. I have put a deposit down, but have not paid it off fully yet. The lady of the dress venue told me that IF I wasn't satisfied with the dress I could come back and try something else on.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I'm being this hard headed, but when I got home and started looking at the pictures of me in it, I began to hate it more and more every day. The dress makes me feel huge and it's completely backless, therefore no bra, no corset, just the weird ass stick on things that make your breast sag. And it has sleeves which I'm not too keen on and the train is too long for where I'm getting married and how long of a wedding walk I have, plus it's ALL lace, which is perfect BUT I can't wear a sash or anything and it's uber plain.....GRRRR

I need opinions on whether or not I should go back and pick something that I really want instead?

    Pictures? I want to see if it's actually bad... or just in your head.

    Trying on more dresses is just going to confuse you even more, but if you are not IN LOVE with the dress anymore, then maybe it isn't your dress.

    I felt like I may have jumped the gun when I bought my dress, but I have sworn not to try on anything else because I don't want to put myself through that.

    I think if you feel strongly about it, maybe you should find another one!

    Well it sounds like you need to go try on something else. and the original dress you picked. remember that photos suck because it isn't your dress/altered to fit. If you are genuinely unhappy with the realities of what wearing the dress will entail (stick on cups, worrying about your train, hating sleeves, missing an accent sash), then absolutely go back! You have to LOVE how you feel in it. Good luck!

    You want to feel beautiful on your wedding day. If the dress doesn't make you feel confident and beautiful, take it back.

    I also agree, pictures. Because you could just be self conscious, but if they will let you try something else on and use your deposit towards that then i deffinetly would! That way you are 100% confident on your wedding day!

    Pictures. And it's not set in stone. Nothing is stopping you from selecting another dress, you may lose the deposit but who cares. You need to be 100% confident in the dress you wear that day.

    If I were you, I'd go ahead and get a new dress. Or maybe go try it on again.

    I would go in, try it on again. Bring someone who is going to be completely honest with you. Ask them what you can do. Try on other dresses. I wouldn't want to be uphappy with my dress either.

    Good Luck!!

    I'm afraid of the same thing happening to me. I'm going dress shopping in a couple weeks even though my wedding is almost a year and a half away. I think you painted a really good picture of what it looks like without pics, and it sounds gorgeous, but if it isn't even right for your venue, then definitely go ahead and try something else on...also, the train can always be adjusted

    I think you look amazing in it! I went through the same thing. I went back, tried on the dress again, and that helped a lot! I still feel a little wishy washy, but I think it's bc my dress needs to be altered. When it fits perfectly, I know I will feel better about it.

    The dress is gorgeous.. But if your not happy and the salon said to go try something else on if your not happy, I would. U need to be happy in the dress you wear that day.. It's a big part.

    Aw I think you look so pretty and happy in that dress! Maybe it's just a phase? I would say go out and try on a bunch of different ones and see how you feel!

    Well I do want to go and try it on again, cause like everyone says, there is a reason I picked this dress. I just really wanted strapless. But thankfully...I'm working out like crazy so who knows come alteration time I may love it again. I just hate feeling big or like I made the wrong decision...I'm too damn picky.

    Omg you look absolutely stunning in that dress!!!!!!!!!! Look at your face in the first picture!! It says it all, how you were feeling in that moment. If you choose to not get another dress your will look absolutely breath taking, but it all matters what you feel like in it. Maybe you need to go back and put it on again.

    Is there something that made you feel like that? Did you find a different dress online? Is it not your style and you feel uncomfortable? or are you worried about the overall price?
