Wedding Dress Regret

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...

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

    That would look lovely and would fit with the style of the dress.

    I bought my dress yesterday and had the SAME exact thoughts this morning. Now, I can't stop looking at the photos of it and I LOVE it. I'd sleep on it a little while before you make any brash movements. You look gorgeous. My eyes didn't go to your stomach area at all! I agree with other posters, you might feel different after alternations.

    Then it must be worth it. And I saw you posted the back of your dress in the comments. Looks great. You're going to look amazing no matter what!

    You've got to remember the bridal shop is going to order the dress in your size anyway or a size bigger for alterations. I wouldn't worry since the dress looks great! I would take the suggestions of shapewear like PP said! Good luck

    You look great in that dress! I think the shape is really flattering on you and the dress is very pretty. Your wedding day you should feel beautiful and confident so if you feel like you wont then its maybe worth it to shop around a little more. You may end up going back to it even after trying on other dresses.

    I got shapewear from Shapermint for $20 and I really like it. I would give that a try and then see how you feel in your dress!

    I think your dress looks beautiful and that you look gorgeous in it. I know we are our own worst critics, but you’re beautiful in that dress spanx or not. I would maybe look for a mermaid slip or underskirt. That’s what I bought to wear under my dress and the top part (which is high waisted and goes beyond the hips) is made more like shape wear and smooths things out.

    Good. All of us women need some more confidence in our bodies. Media has taught us to tear ourselves down so much, but the thing is, most of us would never tell another woman what we say about our own bodies. We should flip the Golden Rule a bit. “Do unto others as we would have done unto us” we should also speak to ourselves the same positivity we speak to others.

    Personally, you look great! I love the dress. I’ll have to wear spanx with mine. They are awesome.

    I honestly felt the same way when trying on dresses! Even if I really liked the way it looked in the mirror I would feel like it looked different in a picture. My mom took pictures of each ones and I would look at them after to see if I really liked them. I say do what makes you happy!
