Just over two weeks and starting over with my attire

Futuremrs, on July 4, 2019 at 11:29 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6
I found a dress! (Please ignore the funky look on my face) It's nothing like the original dress. But it's got three things going for it. #1 it was about a third of the price. #2 it's only got 2 layers. The first has 7! And #3 (and really most important) it fits!

I ordered a corset and strapless bra because obviously I need much more support than the dress can provide on it's own. Plus I'm hoping the corset will give a bit more shape to my waist. They'll be here this weekend. Hopefully I can manage without a seamstress, but I'll go on Monday.

My next problem is that everything I'd chosen (shoes, hair piece, etc) was based around the sparkle and beading on the original dress. So now I'm going back to the drawing board and using my Amazon prime to find accessories that are more in line with the lace and more simple dress.

Anyone else start over this close to the wedding or am I the only fool?

    I love your new dress! And it looks comfy. You can still put some sparkle with it but honestly, that dress has so many accessory options. 😍

    Nice! Why don't you wanna keep the accessories though? I mean your new one is more toned down and simple but I think it's ok for your accessories to add some pizzazz

    Actually, I'm planning on wearing my grandmother's pearl chocker and pearl and diamond earrings. I like the look of a chocker with the sweetheart neckline. I'll try to post a pic. Thanks for the suggestion. I think pearls will look really nice with the lace.
