i was excited for my dress and now i hate it! major dress regret!

azylovespeaches, on January 29, 2021 at 11:21 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 14

So I don't have close family or really close friends. Long story short I am Queer and my family doesn't approve, they're not coming to the wedding and I don't consider any of my friends super close. Therefore, dress shopping in person seemed rather depressing and I wanted to opt out so I did. I went online to Anomalie and "designed" my dress, paid and received it. I was incredibly excited to see it and when I saw it in person I still was. I lost a lot of weight after the phase one quarantine, so by the time I received the dress was HUGE on me. Trying it on I look like I'm a box, just no figure, just drowning in it. The boobage area is super low and I look like my breasts are down to my bellybutton and it is way too long. It also didn't help that the one person I was excited to show it to (my MOH) was like "oh I expected something way different, like couture or extravagant because of how you are." Needless to say I was bummed. I have gone as far as listing it for sell online in hopes of getting SOME money back. I am still getting married and hope to find a super cheap used dress that'll fit and make me feel better. I don't know how much alterations would be but given it is huge on me and way too puffy, I doubt they'll be below $200. I just hate this situation and never thought I'd be in it.

    Wow, the details on the bodice are absolutely gorgeous! As much as I think your dress is beautiful, if you are not happy with it that’s all that matters. Anomalie has a 100% refund policy! You just need to contact them and let them know that you would like to return the dress for a refund. I actually began the process of designing a dress with anomalie as well, then midway through ended up finding the dress of my dreams at a boutique. I simply called them and told them I had changed my mind on the dress, and they refunded me 100%. There’s actually another bride on here who had the entire dress made and shipped to her and did not like it, and she also was refunded. If you still love the dress but just not the fit, I think it would definitely be worth consulting a seamstress to see what the cost of having it altered to fit you would be. But if you just don’t like the dress at all, definitely contact Anomalie and get a refund!

    Unfortunately I am out of the 14 days to return it. I wish I had ready that part closer but I didn't think I'd ever regret it. I will also shop around with seamstresses and see what plan B is if I can't sell it.

    It is a beautiful dress. But if you don't like the way it looks on you then definitely get something different. I have gone through the issue of choosing the wrong dress. My first dress was a mermaid style dress for $99 and it was pretty simple very little detail just what I thought I wanted. I tried it on and fell in love with it, how after purchasing it and seeing pictures of myself in it I started to absolutely hate it. So I bought another dress for much more same thing tried it on fell in love with it. And now with my wedding only 6 months away I'm feeling like there might be something better.

    I think it’s gorgeous! Are you unhappy with the way it fits? If so, would it be possible to have it altered by a local seamstress to your size?

    Yes the fit is way off and I hate having to think I will have to shell out more money on the wedding.

    I just met a bride that bought her dress at a prom shop and saved so much money. I think I'm mainly regretting how much I spent and for it to fit the way it does.

    I would look into alterations if it’s just the fit that is off.

    It’s an absolutely gorgeous dress you would be surprised what a seamstress can do to make the dress fit you perfectly plus a little tape take care of your boobs. You could always have a different dress from your ceremony as well.
