I have tried on my wedding gown twice this week,trying to fall back in love with it. It is a DB a-line in a bright white. The problem? It's too big and wide on me. I look like I am being swallowed by it. I bought it in Jan on a trip out to where my destination wedding will be held. My BFF pushed me into dress shopping,which I know she is because she is so awesome and helpful. The store was closing and I think I just got caught up in the moment, it was more of a"well, this looks the best out of them all." I wasn't educated enough to think there were more options out there, and wasn't strong enough to"think about it."
Even with alterations, I just think this dress and I are done, as I have come to terms with this not being the most flattering. Hopefully I can find something more vintage looking,and I am hoping to do an ivory color as I bought an awesome vintage veil.
So I have the veil, and the shoes-but no dress! Looking online,in for sale boards,craigs list and everywhere. As much as I am nervous to go gown shopping again, I think I will have to. Hopefully I will find the one without a massive blow to the budget,and something I feel good in. I feel so guilty over this mistake.
I just need some encouragement, and haven't had the heart to share this with my best friend and everyone else. I am going to go to smaller bridal shops, see what else is out there.
Thank you for listening. Anyone else have an experience like mine?
