Wedding Dress Doubts

I would go back out shopping again. I have 3 dresses now because I dealt with extreme dress regret. I altered the 2nd one heavily to try to make it my dream dress, but it just wasn't it. Finally, this weekend with 27 days left, I found THE DRESS. Turns out, I had been trying on the wrong silhouette all along.

Do you think it's dress regret or something else? For me I always looked at other gowns and thought man those are hella pretty but I'd look back at mine and think no I love mine too. Dress envy?

I think "dress envy" is the right way to put it. I guess it is one of those big life choices and I am always hard on myself when making a decision. I never want to pick wrong, if that makes sense.

Hey Maryanne,

I bought my dress in April and it just got here Thursday. I experienced this a few weeks after buying my dress but i think its just the indecisiveness overall. I am the same way honestly and it feels like a major decision picking your dress. I would suggest going to the store and trying on your dress again. Then if you aren't feeling it I would say you should look at other dresses you just don't want to confuse yourself honestly.

You should have time to buy a new dress if you're really not loving your first one. You deserve a dress you never want to take off!

It's not that I want to take it off, I love my dress. I just have it in the back of my mind that I rushed the decision, if that makes sense.

Oh! That is a great idea, it is at my MOH's house right now, maybe I just need to put it on again. Plus it is so hard to picture how it will all come together after alterations, hair, and makeup.

Agreed I think you have to try to see the entire picture tho that can be hard. I am planning to try mine on this week hopefully

I'm just happy I am not the only one having this anxiety! I am sure you look beautiful in your dress!

I am feeling the same way. My wedding date is in a year and a half and I've gone on trying many dresses. There are a few that I absolutely love but I am unsure if it is too early to commit to one.

Just out of curiosity, what made you to buy your first dress online? I thought about it too, but I am unsure if I want to risk it since it's a big investment?

Hi Maryanne!! What did you decide to do about your dress?

View Quoted Comment I decided to keep it! My sister sent me the photos of me in it and I tried it on again and I still love it. I think it was just misplaced wedding anxiety.

WOW😍 You look absolutely beautiful!! I love the belt! Is this part of the dress, or did you add it?

Thank you! I added the belt and actually had a custom one made that had pearls in it, so it is not quite in your face and compliments the dress well. I am also adding satin buttons down the entire back of the dress and train.
