I saw in Meggle's thread you mentioned having major dress regrets. I'm soo sorry to hear that! Especially being so close to your wedding day  What happened with your dress?

Awww!  Well nothing is actually wrong with the dress itself but I just wish that I had more of a ballgown skirt.  I wanted something A-line and I was led to believe that the skirt on my dress would be much poofier than it actually is.  I bought it because of all the lace but I don't like the shape very much anymore.

This is my dress:

This is the dress that I tried on when I was searching and I wish I went with this one instead:

Your dress is beautiful and you look great in it!   What Schiatzi said...crinoline?

FWIW that is a stunning dress... and I'm not even saying that to make you feel better! It's gorgeous on you! It looks like the JA dress opens out a lot at the bottom (A shaped for real haha) I'd also like to know if crinoline could help. Or a hoop skirt with a wide ring at the bottom?

Awwww I love your dress on you.  I agree some crinoline under thing or a big hoop or two would maybe make it have more of an "A" shape and poofy-ness.

Thanks everyone.  The problem is that I can't wear a crinoline that's like a slip because the top of it would show and the lining will bunch up, arg.  I am going this weekend to see what other options there are at David's Bridal near me but I wish I made a different choice.

Aww I like the one you ended up with a lot! The other one is pretty, but I just imagine it being awkward trying to do photos in that... like your husband would have to stand so far away from you haha.

Penny, I really, really like the one you chose. You look absolutely gorgeous and I cannot wait to see your photos!
