Second guessing dress?

Megan, on November 17, 2019 at 1:09 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 5
So I am a major over thinker and just about the most indecisive person ever, so trying on dresses has actually been a little stressful for me. I went to a store, tried a few on but didn’t love any. I went to a different store with my 2 best friends (one flew up from out of state), my mom and future MIL, and had the same issue. I liked one more than the others and really felt pressure to buy one since everyone was there for me that day so I purchased it. Immediately after anxiety and that sick to my stomach feeling came over me. I called the next business day and was able to put it on hold. I went back with just my mom and informed the sales lady I just felt like I needed to try on more to compare. She only had 2 picked, one being the one I had already purchased. Again I tried a different one on and liked it more than the previous, but the consultant really wasn’t letting me try others on and was trying to get me to narrow down my choices between the 2. Since I liked the new one better, I changed my order to that dress. I never had that emotional moment and I still am questioning if this ones right....is this normal?!? She said she would put the order on hold until Monday just to be sure. Do I go through this AGAIN and go back, or just try to be content with what I have now?!

    Yes you're over thinking things... But we're women, that's what we do lol. You need to feel satisfied to return the other dress and try some more. If you want you can include them by sending pics. Also, maybe choose a dress slightly closer to your date so that way less opportunities to change your mind. You don't want to spend all that money to decide differently. I think keep shopping until you find the one. Have you checked the styles you want online so you have an idea of what you want?

    I would say keep looking!! I looked through at least 1000 different dresses on line, then tried on dresses at 4 different stores. Never loved anything. I liked several, but not LOVE. I had honestly resigned to the idea that I just wasn’t going to have that feeling of “the one”. SO glad I didn’t settle, because at store #6 I found it! As soon as I put it on, I KNEW it was “the one”. I never wanted to take it off, and have never wanted to try on another wedding dress since. I say keep looking! Look online and see if any dresses grab you and find stores that carry them. Have an open mind to different silhouettes, etc. Don’t put pressure on yourself to find it immediately- you still have several months at your disposal to look. Good luck & keep us updated!!

    You have some time still so if you don’t love it, then don’t buy it. We are all a bit indecisive but you should probably try more on until you find something that wows you.

    Hi! Fellow over-thinker here... I went through the same thing. YES - it is totally normal. This is one of the most special days of your life, and you should love what you are wearing. I bought my first dress more than one year before my wedding.... 6 months later I was back in the bridal store buying my second dress. It was the best decision I made and after my wedding, I am still so happy I changed my dress.


    You do not want to be worrying about your dress on the day of your wedding. There is too much else to enjoy.

    I remember I had a lot of dress envy just seeing other gowns thinking omg they're so pretty but Everytime I'd look at my dress again, I'd feel like ah but I love mine too. So it could be that you're seeing all these other beautiful gowns and that you don't necessarily not like yours either. But I do agree it sounds like maybe it would be better for you to keep looking
