I'm feeling insecure...

... about how I look in my dress.

My dress came into the boutique a couple weeks ago, but I've been putting off going and trying it on because I'm feeling really self-conscious about my body these days. My mom finally convinced me to go yesterday so we could make sure it was the right color and everything. I still like the dress itself, but when I put it on, all I could think about was how it would look better on someone super skinny. I've always struggled with self image and now I feel like it's ruining how happy I should feel about the wedding dress. I have a rather wide ribcage and a very undefined waist and small hips/butt (which look big in the picture because it needs to be taken in). I hope this wasn't the wrong style for me.... Be honest-- does the waistline look horrible?

    You look great. I don't know why we're harder on ourselves than anyone else will ever be.

    I think we can sit here all day and tell you how beautiful you look in that dress. But the bottom line is that if you are having second thoughts then maybe this isn't your dress. I think the dress is absolutely stunning but if you don't love it now, you won't love it later. And to be perfectly honest, your facial expressions in the pictures say it all. You look like you are hesitant. I think this will ultimately come down to how you truly feel. Not 90 of us telling you how amazing you look.

    Good luck!

    Are you serious?! You look absolutely gorgeous AND perfect in that dress!! You have an awesome waistline and on top of that you are rocking that dress!!

    I like the idea of the belt but I do think that without any embroidery you look hot in that dress!

    I understand the ribcage issue. My ribs are wideset from years of vocal training forcing my lungs to expand. But you have a lovely defined jaw and your arms are slender and your body looks wonderful. We are our own worst critics, but rest assured that you are stunning Smiley smile

    I'm going to be completely and totally honest with you. I TRULY think you look stunning in that dress.

    I can relate totally. We are our own worst enemies and, unfortunately, I've grown up with the mentality that I could always be smaller, no matter how small I ever was. I understand that not everyone's words will make you feel better unless you want to feel better, but from all of the responses on this thread, you know that you're the only one who feels differently, and I hope that helps. You're gorgeous, Madeline. See the beauty that we see!!!! xoxoxox

    Honestly, not even just trying to make you feel good about yourself - you look great and you have no reason to feel insecure! You're gorgeous and that dress looks like it was made just for you!

    The dress absolutely complements your frame. Looks like you have a defined waistline to me. =)
