Mom cried but I'm not sure it's the one.

I loved the dress when it was one and even more so when they said it came in white underneath instead of nude but after leaving the shop, I'm not feeling like it was the one. I have to find a dress by the end of the month in order for it to arrive in time/get alterations. Did you all get a "this is...

I have to find a dress by the end of the month in order for it to arrive in time/get alterations. Did you all get a "this is the one" moment? Or am I just hoping for a reaction that will never come?

    Girl this dress is fierce. I’m over here crying like your mom. But I never felt a moment that I knew 100% and I didn’t cry. But my dress has every single element and wow factor and sparkle that I dreamed of. I looked up women who wore my dress on ig. And felt more comfortable it was the one. I looked online and Pinterest for a dress that could beat it and I couldn’t. Long story short lol some people don’t get “the one” reaction. Just keep going back to the same dress. And you grow to love it lol

    I knew mine was the one as I could picture myself walking to my fh in it at our venue and I cried like a baby as I envisioned it

    My dress was the first one I tried on, but I had chosen a few others that I wanted to see on (I wasnt dedicated to a style). But I kept thinking about it and I asked to try it again... that's how i knew it was mine. I'm a believer in, if you try something and then follow it up but still think about it, you should get it (I'm not an impulse shopper, don't works out for me alot).

    You look like you're not 100% comfortable in your pic though. If you have doubts, try on more dresses.

    I’m short, overweight, have gigantic boobs and just hate shopping. It took me 5 trips to find my dress. One mermaid I tried was almost perfect-it gave me a great shape but I didn’t like the nude underlay and it had way too much lace. When I found the one I didn’t have a huge reaction like you see on tv. Which is nuts, because I tear up just thinking about the day I got engaged or if i imagine saying my vows. I felt very peaceful and calm. I looked in the mirror and I felt beautiful. I didn’t understand before, and I can’t explain the meaning of “feeling like a bride” even now. But I did! All the stress was gone about finding a dress in time and I knew everything was going to be okay.
    When you look in the mirror, you should feel like a beautiful woman and be able to picture your partner seeing the same. If you don’t, I’d try a few more. You can always go back to it.

    I didn't cry but I knew it was the one when I didn't want to take it off and felt like had never been so beautiful. My daughter said my walk changed and couldn't stop smiling. Its been in my closet for almost 3 years and I still smile every time I think about putting it on.

    I initially didn't get that "this is the one" feeling but over time I grew to really love it so much
