So I got my dress back in January. Yes I realize it was too early. Now I'm not sure if I like this dress. It's this one by Oleg Cassini.
I wanted a mermaid dress, but my mom wanted me in lace. I tried this on and she and my sister loved it. My mom loved it so much she offered to pay for it. 5 Months later and she's only paid me back $200 (I had to pay for it that day and she'd pay me back). The dress is currently sitting in my closet in the bag and hasn't been altered. We never bought the underskirt or the strapless bra.
The main issue is that I don't think I would have bought this dress had they not loved it so much. It's pretty, but I had never liked the appliques. I wanted something with more flare, and no lace. And cheaper. This dress was a good $500 over my price limit. And that's without alterations.
So my question is: Would it be wrong to look for a different, cheaper dress? Even if I took a small loss on selling this one, I'd save if I could find a dress for under $500. I'd sell this one I already have. I know my mom and sister love it, but I don't really know if it's the one I want to get married in.
