I am having my dress custom made by a seamstress, who was recommended to me by a friend. I went for my second last fitting yesterday and I am so disappointed in my dress. I had brought her a picture that I found online to replicate (this is it:

I don't think she has done great work, and it seems so plain and boring. In the picture its gorgeous to me. When I put it on, I just don't feel very bride-like. She's going to make a few changes that I requested, but the final product still won't be what I was looking for. The problem is, I'm only 20 days away from my wedding, and have ZERO money to but a new one anyway. So that's not an option. I guess what I'm wondering is if anyone has had a similar problem, and what they did. Maybe it will suddenly feel better on my wedding day with my jewelery and hair and makeup? I'm just so sad about this!
