Second Guessing Dresses!

Erika, on February 22, 2021 at 1:44 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 13
I just ordered my dress this past Saturday and have been second guessing it since Sunday. I LOVED it in the store but now I’m looking back at the pics and just don’t love it. I’m going back tomorrow to try on different ones and hopefully fine THE ONE. This happen to anyone else? I just feel so sick about the situation.

    I didn’t love mine in pictures either at first (also the sample size was 4 bigger than my size). I went and tried it on again and a few more dresses and took new pictures in a size closer to mine and felt so much better.

    I 1000% CAN relate. I purchased a dress that I did like at the store. On my way home with the dress I instantly started to have second thoughts...(I couldn’t stop thinking about another dress I tried on) I bought my dress on a Saturday and I literally tossed and turned all night! I honestly felt sick to my stomach ! I’m such a laid back person I couldn’t believe how bothered I was about it! I made an appointment that Monday to try the other dress I couldnt stop thinking about! I ended up purchasing that dress. I went to David’s bridal and had a great experience, they were 100% understanding and have a great exchange/return policy. I-am 100% happy with my decision! I haven’t had regret since and cannot wait to wear it on my wedding day! Good luck to you!Here is my beauty below 💕Second Guessing Dresses! 1

    That’s where I went!!! I’m so glad I’m not the only one. Legit haven’t been able to eat or sleep. I never even really cared about my dress until I “got the wrong one” I just want my appt now! I go tmro at 6 so I will keep updated!

    Thank you so much! I’m so happy I switched. My original dress seemed very underwhelming the more I thought about it. ( it had the feel of a backyard wedding dress-which for some is fine. But my fiancé and I are doing a traditional church wedding with a beautiful historic reception venue . My first dress really wouldn’t have looked right in those settings-it just didn’t make me happy. I didn’t want my bridesmaids dresses to outshine mine 😆)
    Trust me everything will work out! You will feel like a weight legit just lifted off your shoulders at your second appointment!💕Did youhave another dress in mind there or are you looking for something completely different? David’s Bridal was able to apply the cost I paid for my first dress and put it towards my new one (of course is was $200 more 😆but still in my budget and TOTALLY worth it😊)
    Keep me updated!

    Yes! I have 2 others that I haven’t tried on yet but kept thinking about the whole time at my appt. the stylist helping me told me those dresses were online only but I called the store and they have the sleeveless styles in store hut I can order the sleeved style which is what I’m looking for. I guess feeling rushed made me just get whichever one I liked the most at that appt! But I’m prepared for tmro!!!

    I COMPLETELY agree! I 100% was caught up it in the moment that I wasn’t thinking clearly... so many emotions going on that I felt I just chose something that looked good on me and did not necessarily feel like “my wedding dress”

    I’m also second guessing the one I have on order! My dilemma is; I ordered it at a boutique, with a zero return/refund/exchange policy. So now I would have to gamble if I can sell it off and get any money back... or not. Bahhhh! Hard decisions.

    I bought my first dress in January, and this weekend bought another! You're definitely not alone in second guessing. Can you send your original back? If not, you could always try to resale!

    I got mine from David’s bridal and had 7 days to return it. I went in, tried on 3 other dresses, canceled my purchase, and got a new one! I feel much better about this one! I think it helped I had a diff worker helping me the second time. The First Lady helping me was not very helpful and lied to me about the dresses I saw online etc.
