Major Dress Regret.

Photo of someone else in the dress …

Photo of myself in the dress. I did not want my photo taken. This was taken back in may before I lost a little weight and had alterations done and got my tan … also not the veil I went with!

Back of dress with me in it.

Also. I by no means expect to look like someone else in my dress. I am just struggling with how I feel in the dress and overall… the dress. Maybe I’m being too harsh on myself? I am a very petite person with a large bust. That is wear I struggle.

Your dress looks really pretty and you look good in your dress. I honestly would keep it, especially being 5 days out. Don't stress about it too much, you look good

& that is perfectly normal to feel that way. Goodluck with this weekend!

It’s a beautiful dress. My advice would be to not even think about it again until Thursday. If you work yourself up about it, you will not have a clear head to make a solid, rational decision about the dress. Plus, you stressing and over analyzing is not going to change anything- you will have still purchased this dress, it will still look how it looks, and it will still fit you how it fits you 🤷🏼‍♀️ Just put it out of your mind, don’t look at pictures of it or pictures on the internet of anyone else in it (Obsessively looking at something will always make you hyper critical of it), and go in to your fitting Thursday with an open mind and fresh set of eyes. You could put on the dress and fall in love with it all over again (it happens A LOT to brides who are doubting their dresses)! And, if you put on the dress and absolutely hate it… you get another dress!

View Quoted Comment This was sooo helpful to me. Thank you so much. You are so right. I am totally over analyzing this dress and getting critical about it. I will not look at it again until Thursday! Thank you a ton!!!!!

It’s beautiful,looks great on you!

My honest opinion - I like the one you purchased over your back-up options. But just my opinion! I hope you learn to love it by then!!

I like the one you purchased over the two back ups. I think it looks beautiful on you. It does look a little strange in the photo of someone else wearing it, but I think it might be the photography style. I don't know proper terms, but the entire picture seems to be very full and one color. If the pictures were edited to be more vibrant I think the dress would look much better.

I like the dress. Maybe I would have chosen something a little fuller on the bottom to balance out your glorious large chest! But the dress is lovely, and if you love it on, then go for it. If not, and can afford another, go for that too! lol. Long story short, its your day and do whatever makes you feel beautiful.

I also had dress regret. I too have a large bust and also really wanted one with a sleeve of some sort as I hate my arms, but was talked into a sleeveless, as those are really the most common bridal dress. I had been worrying for months, until I realized it is not just the dress it is the whole look. I bought all new costume jewelry that stood out from the dress and drew attention to my neck and face and away from my bust (the necklace I had before was very dainty and did not fit the style, I bought a bigger bolder necklace). I got a chiffon bolero jacket to wear during the reception that covered my arms in the right place. I tried my dress on yesterday with all the accessories and the veil and I fell good about wearing it in 4 days. There are little touches you can do to make it more your style and it will make you feel more comfortable.

You look amazing in that dress!!! You have a great body for that silhouette. Never compare yourself to others though it's so hard not to! Remember what made you like it enough to buy it. It's so easy to get overwhelmed by everything, especially so close to the finish line. Congratulations!! Enjoy your day!

I love your dress!! Please keep it!!!

This was great insight. I have my final fitting Thursday and I am going to bring some of my accessories with me! Thank you so much for this response and idea. Maybe I do just need to see it all pulled together?
