Potential dress regret plus potential i Said Yes!

I love your first dress, it is gorgeous! I think if the other dress is $100 over budget and can't be returned if you don't like it on, that is a huge risk you may not want to take. I saw you were concerned about blinging the skirt, have you thought about a beaded veil? I personally think it doesn't need anything but it's an idea.

View Quoted Comment I'll definitely be doing either a long veil or cape. The dress does have a return policy if it's standard sizing but my wedding is Nov 2, so not much time to change my mind if I didnt like it.

That 👰👗 looks beautiful on you!

Congratulations and 🍀‼️

I have had second thoughts since getting my dress. I wasn't going to try it on at first as it was over budget but the ladies w/me all wanted to see it in. We all liked it on the hanger but I didn't want to fall in love with it because of the price.
After trying several on that we didn't like, I put mine on and when I came out in it, everyone(including consultants) felt it was the one. I really liked it but wasn't allowing myself to love it because it was over what FH and I agreed to spend on a dress. Well, my MOH was texting my FH telling him how beautiful it was on me so he told her not to let me leave without getting it. So, I said yes.
This was in July and I have went back to try on other dresses a couple of times but never really liking anything as well as the one I chose. It's still waiting for alterations(currently pinned) so maybe once I see it finished I'll get that "OMG, this is my dress!!!".
Sorry this went so long, just wanted to let you know you are not the only one second guessing. My wedding is Oct 6th so I really don't have time to try to find anything else!

View Quoted Comment Yeah, my thing is I can't try this one before I buy which makes me very hesitant to go for it, especially after I know I loved my first option.

View Quoted Comment Your dress looks great on you!
I'm going to tell you what I keep trying to tell myself...don't second guess!
Everyone that has seen me in my dress choice says it is perfect on me. Even after trying on other options, I go back in the one I picked out and see how good it looks. I feel so hung up on not having that "wow" moment that keeps me second guessing. I
As I said, I think once I see it on after alterations I will truly fall in love with it. The one I originally had on was too small but gave me enough of an idea that I liked it best out of what I tried on. The size we ordered, thinking it would fit fine, came in and has to be let out a little as well as hemmed and a few other little things. So seeing it with all the pins didn't help me get "that moment". But, hopefully when it is done!

Honestly, I think the one you tried on is the much better option. Not only does it fit you beautifully, but the material is softer and more ethereal. The second you posted, as well as being over budget and not part of their sample program, looks very dated to me (something about the top?). I think you should stick with the one that you know looks incredible on you.

I’d keep the dress you already have since really love it, I wouldn’t risk buying something that I don’t know how it would look on me. And that dress looks amazing on you, very beautiful
Best of lucks.

I personally would not risk buying a dress without trying it on. I have an odd shape to my body. I love the dress you chose. It’s beautiful on you!
