September 2013 Weddings

My dress came in and I have the blues....(Vent)

(I've posted pieces of this story before but here's a re-cap.)  So 3 months ago I bought a dress prematurely.  I tried it on and thought I loved it.  The following week I started having dress regret but tried to push the feelings aside.  I think I was just so excited and jumped on the first thing I thought was pretty.  Shortly after that I found out that a friend of mine wore the same exact dress.  This pretty much shifted my feelings completely. (That and I had strong reservations about the back of the dress.)  I knew this was not my dress.

Today they called me in to pick up the dress and I figured I'd give it a try and maybe just maybe I'd be pleasantly surprised.  Not at all.  I put the dress on and couldn't believe this was the dress I fell in love with.  What was I thinking?!  Don't get me wrong it is a pretty dress just not on me.  So I now have my brand new tiara, mermaid slip, corset bra, 2 veils, and no dress.

  I know I'm going to get a new dress but I can't help that I'm bummed.  Every bride races to the store to pick up their dress and gushes over how in love they are and I want that too.  Ughhh, I know the dress is out there.  I'm just anxious to find it!  Not to mention I watch SYTTD religiously.  I just want that bridal moment when you know you've found the dress and you have no desire to continue looking.  Here's a pic of the original sample I tried on.  I've posted it a few times before.

  • So sorry to hear that your are having major dress regret! :(  I will say it does fit you beautifully.  Are you thinking of going for a different silhouette or the same mermaid style?  Could you have alterations done on the dress to change things you don't like anymore?
    Can you exchange the dress towards a different one? 
    thankfully you have plenty of time!

  • Aww, I'm sorry you don't like your dress anymore :(.  FWIW it is very pretty; is it the whole dress you fell out of love with, or a part or 2?  Maybe you could have those changed.

    Good luck finding another dress!

    <div>Thank you.  So the pic is of the sample I tried on.  It was 3 sizes to big and they pinned it tight to fit me.  When my dress came in it was in my size but it had this weird bunching going on and it didn't fit like the sample.  (Looks akward.)  I don't know how they would take it in since it fits overall just really not flattering.  I'm thinking of going with an A line or a fit and flare.  I'm going to really look around this time before so I don't make another mistake!</div>

    <div>It is the whole dress.  I don't like the back and I don't get that feeling, you know?  Also I found out my good friend wore it for her wedding and some of the same people are going to mine.  I know that shouldn't bug me but it really does.  Thank you, I'll find the dress and next time I'll be 100% sure!</div>

    Right, I missed this part.  That's understandable; FI's cousin (married in August) had a dress that was almost exactly my personal style, and while no one else may have noticed, a picture of her dress was in the back of my mind while shopping.  So I totally get that.

    And I also totally know what you mean about the "feeling".  You're absolutely right that you should have it - don't stop again til you get it!!
