Wedding Dress Regret

Wedding Dress Regret 1

So I bought this dress yesterday, and it looked great in the store, and then I saw this picture, and I am horrified!! I feel like I look fat and it exposes my whole stomach and I’m worried I made a huge mistake. If any of you could provide some advice on shapewear that would help make my stomach look less visible that would be great!


Also I would love some opinions on the dress. Does it look horrible??? I’m worried that I’m going to hate the way I look on my wedding day

    I heard good things about Honeylove and Spanx. You can also check out David's Bridal. They might have something as well. I think your dress looks absolutely beautiful. I love the detailing.

    I think it’s gorgeous! I don’t even notice your stomach. I had to keep checking the pic just bc of what you said and I still think it’s great. I’m not much help on shape wear, but do not underestimate the value of accessories and alterations. I wasn’t sure about my dress until after it got altered. Then I felt like a princess. Plus the veil and jewelry and hair and makeup made me feel so beautiful.

    It surprised me how sheer a dress with multiple layers of fabric can be when I tried mine on!

    I think you'll feel a lot better with the proper shape wear underneath. It's a lovely dress! Keep in mind too - the lighting on the big day might be much different. The photo looks like there's dim lighting shining down from above, which is casting some shadows. If you'll have better/brighter lighting, that'll make a big difference too Smiley smile

    I feel like every bride goes through this because there's so much pressure for a bride to look "perfect" on her wedding day. That being said, that dress looks AMAZING on you!!! I 1000% guarantee that any problem areas you see really aren't there. There are things like honeylove for a good nip and tuck if it'll make you feel better, but I think that dress looks amazing on you and is so gorgeous. Does it have a train?

    I think your dress fits your beautifully. Some alterations might just fix any of the issues you are seeing in the picture. I agree with the other comment that the lighting is not good and it does look like some shadowing from the lighting. Shape wear will probably help your feelings, and just keep ya sucked in lol. I have a spanx skirt slip I love. I wear it just to make myself feel better and to control my tummy when I sit.

    How long until you get to see it again?

    I went with Honeylove! Good shape wear makes all the difference! Aside from your concern with the belly, it looks amazing on you! Get some good shape wear and you will feel even more confident.

    I think it looks amazing. If you’re going to get Shapeware I’d suggest getting spanx.

    I dont even see what youre talking about!!! i absolutely love the dress and i personally think it flatters your figure. shapewear doesnt look necessary to me, but it might help you feel more secure. ive heard a ton about honeylove just by reading thri weddingwire discussions. and of course, there is always the classic spanx. anywho, i think youre going to look beautiful and the gown is absolutely stunning! good luck ❤️

    It is beautiful. Definitely get the shapewear which will make the look much sleeker. My super thin niece wears it to give her a sleek look. Try several different kinds and make sure you can sit down, that it doesn't hold you in so much that you can't breathe and that you are comfortable. I imagine your hair will look better up so it may accent your neck and cleavage. You will look amazing.

    I see it again in six months! I am hoping to have shoes and shapewear (and maybe to have lost a few pounds) by then. I am hoping that this is just a terrible photo 😖

    I’m thinking of doing half up half down for my hair to make sure the front of the neckline of the dress is visible. Thank you for your kind words 😊
