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?

    I think you look amazing in that dress!! I, too, have trouble feeling pretty sometimes. I just tried to picture how much my FH will cry/smile when he sees me in my dress :-)

    I think it's perfect with the flower belt! You are beautiful, and definitely have a waist. Also, am a bit jealous of your awesome boobs.

    You look stunning in your dress. I know how hard it can be to feel beautiful--we live in a culture where we're constantly being shown how we need to fix ourselves. It's really pervasive, and there's nothing wrong with you at all. That is, there's nothing wrong with how you look (you are beautiful!), and there's nothing wrong with you for feeling so insecure.

    I tend to do these little mental checks. When I think, "Ugh, my arms are so fat. I can't wear sleeveless shirts!" I remind myself, "Um, when you wear sleeves, you're not exactly FOOLING anyone into thinking your arms look different. Just wear the tank top and enjoy the weather." When I think, "This dress would look better on someone skinnier," I remind myself, "But you know what? I still look fabulous."

    Haha thanks Pan. I was a double A until one day in college they popped up outta nowhere.

    I am literally sitting here drinking wine and getting teary-eyed because you all are so supportive. I love this community and all of you so much. Your comments have motivated me to try something I've heard of but never thiught would help: look into the mirror every day and find at least one thing I love about myself. Your kind words have been really encouraging!

    If I'm being perfectly honest.....you look great in it!! Seriously, you have nothing to be self conscious about! it really does look great! I know what you mean on struggling with the way your body is. My dress is going to be ready to try on after the first alteration in a few weeks and i am soooo nervous!!
