I’m completely freaking out because I just noticed that the dress I just ordered this past Saturday doesn’t have the low back I was set on and I think I chose the wrong dress! I was between 2 dresses and I’m looking at photos of both dresses and I think I made the wrong choice! Has my dress been ordered or can I come in and try the other dress on?! I’m freaking out because it was the first dress I’ve ever tried on and I was so overwhelmed! The 2 dresses were the same designer and not even within $100-$200 of each other in price.


They said the dress would arrive in May-June and I’d get alterations from there. Obviously it’s an “all sales are final” policy but is there any hope?!! I bought it full price! Help!

    Praying they’re one of those bridal shops! 😣🙏🏼 It’s been pretty smooth sailing until now, and yes, this anxiety is awful! Lol!

    That’s what I’m worried of! The shop was so beautiful and the selection was amazing, but I didn’t get that super excited, bubbly vibe that I was hoping for. Crossing my fingers 🤞🏼

    Hey Jocelyn
    This is my dress, but in a ivory color to match my booties and my shawl which also is ivory, I'm having a winter wedding, so snow is possible!

    Love the dresses! i would skip the email and call or go in person to see what they say. You could always send a followup by email later on but the initial contact should be in person.

    Yay! I had the same fears but I let it go and was still super happy when it came in. But I'm glad you'll know for sure.

    Jocelyn, I had a similar issue. About 10 days after I bought my dress I was still having second thoughts so I called and asked if they could put the order on hold and let me pick a different gown. I also went with Essence of Australia. I made a new appointment which was about 17-18 days after I had purchased it and the store Manager called the designer. The designer let me pick a new gown as long as it was same or greater price! I hope you get your dream dress!!

    They are both beautiful dresses. Call and talk to shop and hopefully they can work something out for you. I am sure they have interested in making you happy as well. Perhaps they sell a lot of the dresses and don't mind keeping that and ordering yours if time may they can cancel the order and change it.

    If you just ordered this past saturday, there's a high probability that the order has not been placed yet with the designer and if you wanted to change, they may be able to. I would call ASAP and ask what your options are.

    Which one were you unsure about? Also -- if it's just the low back you're concerned about, often times designers allow you to make small changes like raising the back for a small fee. My designer would've let me raise the back up to 3"

    Oh - if they had a different coloration option, you probably have the ability to make that change now if that's the only thing you were worried about Smiley smile

    Even if they say no, and you end up with the dress you picked, It’s still gorgeous! You are going to be the beautiful bride! I bet a seamstress could alter to have a low back if that’s the only thing that makes you think it’s the wrong dress
