I bought my dress when i went home to visit my family in my hometown in NY, about 3 months ago. It just arrived and the more i look at pictures of myself in it, the more i regret it. I had 6 people with me when i went to try on dresses, including my future MIL and i felt a lot of pressure to listen...

I bought my dress when i went home to visit my family in my hometown in NY, about 3 months ago. It just arrived and the more i look at pictures of myself in it, the more i regret it. I had 6 people with me when i went to try on dresses, including my future MIL and i felt a lot of pressure to listen to everyones opinions and find a dress that day, since future MIL came up from Florida just to be there for the occasion.

I was thinking of just wearing it for the ceremony to please everyone, and finding another dress for the reception, but if i don't like the dress now, I'm sure my disdain for it will get worse as it gets closer to the day, HELP!

    Thank you! The tattoo has a lot of special meaning( my best friends birthday and the day she died) so I wanted to make sure it was visible in my dress

    You really need to be happy, even if it means buying a new dress. But I have to say you are slamming in that dress! Honestly, you really look beautiful.

    I think your dress is gorgeous. I had the same regret when my dress came in but alterations do wonders! A seamstress will be able to fix the bunches

    The dress looks wonderful on you and with alterations it will fit you ever better.

    can relate to your feelings that it’s not what you imagined, but it’s true you’ve changed since you were little and honesty, you can love the look of something but it end up not working for you. I found it helpful when I kept going back and forth to put pictures of a dress I thought was THE dress and the dress I got next to each other. Seeing them together can really help you understand what it is you like. You may find, like I did, that the dress you have has a lot of details you didn’t know you wanted.

    But if not, you’ll have a better idea what to look for if you go find another dress. You want to make sure you’re happy in the dress and your family will want the same Smiley smile

    Wow! Not only is that dress stunning, but it is so incredibly flattering on you. You have to take into consideration that the sample size is not going to fit you the same as whatever size they ordered for you. Eventually it will be altered to fit even better. If you’re still unhappy, then definitely try selling it.

    I don't know if you're looking for opinions, but I just wanted to say that dress is one of the most beautiful gowns I've seen and you are the perfect shape for it!

    That said, if you really don't like it and it doesn't feel like the one, keep looking. You deserve the dress of your dreams

    I was more asking if anyone was in the same situation or had any suggestions, but I definitely appreciate everyone’s kind words and it’s making me reconsider whether I don’t like the dress or just don’t like the way it falls(which can be fixed with alterations) thank you ❤️
