Dresses That Didn't Make The Cut!

So I thought it would be fun to post any pictures you might have of when you tried on dresses and the ones that didn't make the cut.  Here are mine.  By the way this is when I had brown hair since some of you may be wondering why I look different lol!  I change my hair color every once in a while.  Each row of pictures is the same dres, just different views like full length, the back, and close up of the bodices.


Row 1: This was my 2nd choice.  I liked the neckline, but not as much as a sweetheart neckline which is what I ended up with.  I also liked the beadwork and the way the back came down into a V shape.  I didn't care for the train on this one as much either though because it was basically see-through.
Row 2: I hated the neckline on this one.  It was way too high and I didn't like how it sort of scalloped at the top.  I also hated how the back was so plain and it was so high up on my back as well.


Row 1: I hated the entire dress basically lol.  I hated that little "lip" like buldge thing that comes out just below my waist, and yeah it's just not my style.
Row 2:  This one was ok but I didn't like the sash at all and I'm just not a big flower person.


This was just another "ok" one.  Nothing too special about it.

I only tried on about 10 dresses...the 8th one (not pictured) is the one I picked!  I just knew it was the one as soon as I saw myself in the mirror. :)

Re: Dresses That Didn't Make The Cut!

  • Mine was the first dress I tried on and I had been eyeing since I saw it on the wesbite but here are the others I tried on:
    (ignore my bad posture in some and we snuck pics in the dressing room)

    This was my 2nd choice
    (this looked way better on the hanger lol)
    Hated the beadwork on this one


    This was tied for 2nd choice
    Hated the bottom on this one
    I loved Adorae but I've always wanted a ball gown

    And my dress:

    I wanted to try some different styles. I liked mermaid styles even though I knew I'd end up with a ball gown. I tried them anyways. If I didn't want ball gown I'd definitely get Adorae


  • This thread i so fun! All of my photos are at home, so I will post tonght.

  • Dang.  I didn't take any photos at David's bridal & the others shop won't let you take photos until you buy it. ( I think they dont want you to look for it cheaper elsewhere)  There was one at David's that stuck in my head & the one I got.  There was a really beautiful all lace one with a huge train at the Filene's basement sale, it was so beautiful but just not me at all.
    Mine was the only dress for me, the rest of them just kind of faded out of my memory after a month or so, when I went back it was the only one I wanted :)

    I only tried on 6 dresses. Here are the ones that I didn't like. Sorry that most of them are sideways. I couldn't get them to rotate.

    Dress 1 - My mom made me try it on. I didn't even like it to begin with.


    Dress 2 - Yet another dress my mom wanted me to try on. I did like it but I didn't want that style.


    Dress 3 - I didn't care for the ruffle.


    Dress 4 - I didn't like the beading.


    Dress 5 - Identical to dress 4 just without the beading and I thought it was too plain.



    The Winner!!!!

  • Good idea! I don't have any pictures here, but I'm pretty sure there's some on the laptop at home. I really hope there's a picture of the one that literally tried to eat me.
  • Oh man, all of mine are at home too. I have quite a few so I will post them when I get home.

  • I tried on a grand total of two dresses, and I don't have a picture of the first dress I tried on.

    I took pics with my phone. However, once, I found the perfect dress. I deleted them off my phone. I think that is funny because, when I started dating my FI, I was on this single thing where I would have a lot of guys that I would go on dates with however, I would never be initmate with. My mindset was I wasn't settling down or giving myself  (being intimate or having sex) to anyone else but my husband, so I might as well have fun. When me and my FI reconnected I stop talking to all the guys it was about 5 guys I was going out with when we reconnected. On average hanging out with two or three a week. I GUESS I HAVE A HISTORY OF GIVING IT ALL UP WHEN I FIND THE ONE !!!LOL

  • I tried on some REALLY bad ones before I found some amazing ones.  I was stuck on two at the end (but they only let me take pics of the winner).  None of the following even came close to the final 2 (ignore the stupid looks on my face):


     

     
     
     


    And the winner!!!!
    I get butterflies looking at it!  Can't wait to wear it!

  • These were two that I seriously considered. I LOVED the Amsale Dahlia, but it was $7,400. My crazy mother said that if it was the one, then I could have it. I was the only one in that situation that freaked out of the cost. I just couldn't do it and I'm so happy I didn't. I would have sweated to death after we changed to June.

    Amsale Dahlia:

    Christos Brisa:


    I tried on probably 7 or 8 others, but these were the only other ones that I seriously considered.

    It was absurdly large, heavy and bulky for me because I'm tiny! We said it tried to swallow me whole.

  • I probably tried on about 10 dresses total but there was only 1 other contender:





    My Dress:






  • I tried on a ton of dresses but I didn't take pictures of any of them.  Off the top of my head, I couldn't even look up some of the contenders if I wanted.

  • I only tried on about 5.  I'll have to post them when I get home.
  • I'm just going to post the website pictures.

    I LOVED this Lazaro, but it didn't have a sweetheart and was more glitzy than the romantic look I was going for.



    I also tried on these three Lazaros, and they're all beautiful but were all kind of "If I was looking for this kind of dress, this would be it!" I loved all the interesting skirts, but they just weren't classic enough for me.




    And this is my dress!

  • This would have been my second choice, I almost bought it.

    I called this is jellyfish dress. The lady made me try it on. It was two sizes too small.


    Oh I hated this. I had a prom dress like this... YUCK!


    This was my first dress that I returned because I ended up HATING it too. (It's a long story. :))

    It ended up have missing pieces, torn pieces and I was promised it would be fixed and it wasn't. So I called DB PISSED as heck and got a new dress.


    I was told that this reminded everyone of an old lady dress. Clearly, I did not like it.


    This was the heaviest dress, besides the jellyfish dress, that I tried on. I liked it, but it did nothing for me.


    I tried on several others but wasn't allowed to take pictures at some shops and didn't take pictures of the UGLY ones. haha

  • I tried on 6 total, mine was the second which I had already pretty much decided on. Here are the other five:

    This was a close second
     

    I didn't like the bottom of this one at all
     

    My family liked this one because it made me look taller
     

    Weird butt on this one (based on Tiana)
     

    My third choice
     

    And my dress!

    I'm finally home and can post!

    This is my close second.  In the end, it just wasn't the skirt/fit I was looking for:

     

    Didn't like the pickups:

     

    Too much like a nightgown (what mom said lol):

     

    I only tried on about 6, because the first dress I tried on was my favorite dress!

  • I only tried on about 5 dresses.  This first picture was the first dress I tried on and the runner up.  It had the halter that I wanted, but the back seemed too plain. 
     




    It's not letting me post the rest of my pictures.  I'll try again in another post.

  •   

















    I liked the first one, but thought the pick-ups made me look too wide.  The second one was too casual.  The third one wasn't "bad", just not "bridal" enough for me.  I loved how I felt in the last one--the one I chose.  Going home though, I kept wondering if I should have picked the first in the other post. However, after looking at the pictures, I LOVE the one I picked out.  I love the beadwork on it.  I wasn't especting strapless, but I'm pleased with it.
