Hi ladies... I figured I would vent my frustrations here as everyone always has good advice. I got engaged in February 2013 and bought my dress in May 2013. In my opinion I went dress shopping wayyyy too early! I was overwhelmed and I didn't try on as many dresses as I'd hoped. I only tried on the styles I liked, so I immediately limited myself. I wish I'd tried on every style! What is really bothering me about my dress (and I have NO idea how I didn't notice it when I bought it) is that it shows everything about my mid section that I hate. I may also see if my seamstress is able to put some sort of panel in that area to smooth things out.
Every other dress I tried on completely flattened me out which was awesome but this one is horrible in that spot. It is a beautiful dress but that area is killing me. I bought a longline bra type thing but it's not the most comfortable and I honestly don't think I could wear it for a whole day, and I really don't know if it would do the trick because I wore the same longline bra when I tried on the dress, and when I look back at the pictures from that day, that area is still sketchy.
I know I'm not the only one who's gone through this. My problem is, my wedding is in 3 1/2 months so my options at this point are pretty limited. I do have two appointments for this Saturday at a couple bridal shops in my city, as I can buy off the rack, but again I'm limited to what I can buy. I'm hoping I'll either find something I absolutely fall in love with, or it'll confirm for me that the one I bought is the one for me.
Thanks for listening
