Wedding Dress Second Thoughts

Natalie, on October 23, 2024 at 1:29 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 3
I purchased my wedding dress 8 months ago. After I purchased it, I showed it to my bridal party. My sister in law told me it looked seductive (NOT the way I want to look or feel on my wedding) and not in a good way. I know she didn't mean to be unkind, but the comment has since made me feel very self conscious every time I try on the dress. I've had numerous people including my mom and future mother-in-law say they don't see any problem with it. I even added some alterations to make it a little more modest, but unfortunately, those comments still taint my view of and love of the dress. I don't want to feel self-conscious in what I'm wearing, but I still can't get this comment out of my head. It doesn't help that my dress is really nothing like what I initially thought I wanted which is making me second guess my decision. Any thoughts on how to overcome these feelings?Wedding Dress Second Thoughts 1

    It’s a lovely dress and very stylish. Try to push those comments out of your mind and focus on what you fell in love with about the dress!

    It's your day. If you thought it was the dress don't let someone make u change ur mind. I think it's beautiful and appropriate.

    Hey Natalie, as someone who got their dress altered so it can be more modest, I completely understand.


    I can tell that your sister in laws opinion is extremely meaningful to you, but it is just that - an opinion.
    If you are open to getting further feedback from her, I’d approach her for further understanding. “I remember when I asked your thoughts on my dress, you said it was seductive. Can you shed some light on what about the dress makes it seductive?”
    If she is unable to pinpoint areas, then it is negligible. If she is, it will give you the opportunity to decide on if you agree or not.
    You look beautiful and I’m wishing you the best on your big day.
