If any of you read my previous post about regretting the dress that I bought, I have an update.
This weekend I went to pick up my dress and I asked the lady at the store if I could try it on. My best friend Rachel went with me and I was so grateful for her patience. At first I just looked at the dress hanging on the hanger in the dressing room. I stood there in my underwear hoping and praying that I would have a change of heart. It finally came time to put it on and before she even had it zipped up, I felt a wave of relief and tears build up behind my eyes. I stepped outside the dressing room and Rachel had tears in her eyes too. I put the headpiece on and it was perfect. I stayed in it for a while, twirled around a little and I finally had the feeling I was waiting for. I felt beautiful and I really felt comfortable in the dress.
I just wanted to say thank you to all who posted advice on my last blog. It meant so much to have girls who had my back.
For those of you who may doubt your dress, it's normal! This is what I learned...It's not the end of the world. Give yourself some time to think it over or spend some time away from the dress. When you're ready, try it on again with an open mind. Try not to put any pressure on yourself because there is always a back up plan. You could put it on the internet and resell it. You could talk to the bridal store and see if they'll work out a deal with you. You can find an awesome seamstress to help change what you don't like about the dress. Be creative and be yourself! That's what's important about this day, is that it reflects you and your fiance. Don't worry about pleasing anyone else.
