I can't choose a dress!

This is mostly just a vent and I'm sure some of you ladies have been here before so please feel free to lend some advice.

I was searching online for pics of dresses to show the bridal shop to aid in my search for a dress and I found the perfect dress! The catch, it was being discontinued and on sale through David's Bridal. I love it in the pic, but I don't know how I'll feel about it in person. The style is only available online so I took a chance. I ordered it with the understanding that I could return it if I don't love it in person. 

I haven't tried on other dresses though so I head off to a David's Bridal in my area to try on other dresses and get some perspective for comparison. The end result now is that I'm in love with 4 very different dresses!!! 

The original dress is being shipped to me in the next day or two and I'm going back on Saturday to compare all 4 and pick one, but I'm so lost as to what to do! I'm really hoping that when I put on the ordered dress I'll just know it's the one. Help! I don't want to pick the wrong dress!

Re: I can't choose a dress!

  • Breathe lady!  Wait for your dress to come in and go try them all on.  Go with the one that wows you more than the other 4.  Hopefully one will have a little more oomph than the others.
  • When I was trying on dresses, I found several that I liked. Luckily I had my mom to take pictures front and back of every dress I tried on. When I'd go home, I'd put the pics on the computer and compare them. Finally I found the one that looked the BEST on me.  It's hard to choose one, they are all so pretty in their own way.

     I was finding dresses on designers websites and then trying to find them at bridal shops and most of the time I had no luck.  Finally I stopped looking on line and just went from bridal shop to shop until I found the one.

  • Omg I feel you pain. I just posted that I found thee dress- after over two months of looking. Just take your time- calm down- and I know everyone says this, but you will feel it. I had it down to three dresses at one shop- two in another- and one in the other one. (Although at all three shops, one of the dresses was the same as I had "on hold" at the rest). I actually didnt even end up picking the one we had "on hold" at all three!

    Take your time- do your research- look at pictures of other brides. Some of the reason I picked the one I did was because I saw a bride in a photographers blog that had a beautiful a-line tulle skirt to her dress. It looks AMAZING in her photos and I was like THAT is what I want to look like! One of the dresses I had on hold was like that- and after I tried it on about 4 more times and compared, I just knew it was the one hahaha. It took a while, but each time I kept putting it on I got more and more excited! Good luck!!

    Thanks ladies! The original dress arrives today according to UPS. I'm hoping that I'll put it on and immediately be struck. *I'm crossing my fingers! I'll still go to compare it to the others on Saturday because I want to be absolutely sure. 

    Thank you for the support! I knew someone here would understand :-)
