Quick backstory: I bought my dress in January, and won't see it until the end of July, when it arrives at the store. I loved and adored it from the second I saw it, and am genuinely pleased with it. But there's this thing that's bugging me, and I was hoping someone might commisserate:
The dress is from a fall 2012 runway collection, so there aren't any photos of actual brides in the dress (yet). It's also a little bit different than a lot of dresses, and probably not the easiest to wear unless you have a long torso like I do. The only photo that does exist, besides the ones we took ourselves, is the runway photo, which — like many runway photos — is incredibly over-the-top almost to the point of ridiculous. Combine all of these elements, and I am having a full-on freak-out that maybe I picked the wrong dress. I know my feeling is probably as irrational as I sound explaining it, but has anyone else experienced full on panic thinking about something like this? I feel like an idiot knowing I have a gorgeous dress on the way but am terrified to go to my first fitting in fear I'll hate it.
