oh lordy...

First Anniversary First Answer 5 Love Its First Comment
in September 2012 Weddings
Based on my prior posts... you may know that I'm having major dress regret/second guessing.

So, I was cruising the "attire and accessories" forum...   and someone was asking about acceesories to go with their dress.   I am IN LOVE with that person's dress.  And, I just cruised recycledbride.com and imagine my surprise, someone is selling the dress in what is probably my size.  So, now... I don't know what to do.  In bridal sizing... who knows if it will fit me. 

I'm not sure if I should start calling around to see if someone has it in my size to try on and I can either buy off the rack or buy the one on recycledbride.  then, try to sell my dress.  OMG. I'm totally freaking out.

    They are both beautiful!  Will you regret NOT trying on the Maggie?

    OMG. Your dress is gorgeous! I love all the beading detail! And that train! Wow!

    To be honest, I like it better than the Maggie Sottero. I don't like the drastic change from satin to tulle. I think yours is more flattering.

    Is there anything in particular that you like way better about this dress? Maybe your seamstress could change your current dress a little to look more like the one you just saw? I'd say give it a couple of days to think this through. If you already have your dress, try it on again. If you don't, you can probably go back to the shop where you bought and ask them to put it on again to fall in love with it all over again. I saw from a previous post that you didn't think the sample size gave you a good idea of what it'd look like on the day of, but if you go back, try it on with some spanx or stuff that sucks you in, and it might give you a better idea?

    Good luck!

    Its a tough call because they are both beautiful dresses! I agree with PP -- do you think you'll regret never trying the Maggie dress? If its in your budget, I would atleast try the Maggie one. 

    Good luck -- keep us updated on what you do!

    Find one to try!  You may try it on and realize it doesn't suite you, and then it's out of your system. If you don't try it you'll keep wondering.  Your current dress is beautiful btw!

    thanks everyone. well, I've called 8 salons that carry Maggies... and no one has that dress in anything above a size 6.  that's not gonna work!  LOL

    So, I'm going to call some more places tomorrow.  I am at such a loss of what to do.  So... I'm going to sit with it until I can find somewhere to try it on.  wish the seller was local !!
