Yep. if you search "remorse" on this board, you'll find hundreds of posts about this topic.  It is not abnormal.

It's normal.  Just stop looking at gowns.

PS.  If you do search "remorse", you'll probably find dozens of posts from me. I had horrible buyer's remorse... and I went shopping at least 3 times after I bought my dress, fully ready to buy another (which, I did, and ended up selling it).  Ultimately, I stuck with my originaly choice...   but, I succeeded on making myself absolutely NUTS for 5 months.

Its very common to second guess your decision. Its a huge purchase and I think every bride wants their dress to be perfect. Try not to keep looking at dresses. It makes you doubt your dress even more.

I didn't really have remorse... but I did lack enthusiasm -- agree with PPs to stop looking at other dresses!

SO normal!  It's a big part of the decisions.  Don't worry but definitely stop shopping or looking at others.

So then I am the abnormal one who never had any sort of remorse? Every time I put it on I love it more and more.

I know that at least for me, it was the most amount of money I'd ever spent on a single item of clothing and I don't plan on spending that much ever again!  I think a little bit of second guessing is normal!

I did use recycledbride.  I also posted it on oncewed.com and ebay.  But, I ended up selling it via recycledbride.

I did list it for a GOOD price though.  I think if you really want to sell it, look around and see what others are selling similar styles/designers for, and list it for $25-50 lower.  

I sold mine in less than 2 weeks.
