My wedding day is in 75 days and today I had my first dress fitting but after it was done I was filled with so many emotion that am not sure what to make of it. I like my dress but don't love it and with being on a very tigh budget I have no choice but to wear it, I bought it because I like the look of it and it was everything I wanted but didn't have a chance to try it on until it was delivered to my home. anyone going through this?

    This is why it's so important to try on the dress before buying it....what you think will look good might not be the best on you, and vice versa.  But what's done is done.  What don't you like about it?  Can you talk to the seamstress and see if there's anything she could do that would make you more happy?

    Like you I was also on a very tight budget for our wedding, the dress was $200 but after alterations it was $400 total.  To me the dress I wore was just that, a dress I married my best friend in.  I have no sentimental attachment to my dress at all  and really didn't care for it at all, the cut was flatering and that is what counts. Having been married for 3 months without looking back, just thankful to have been lucky enough to marry the man that I did.  What I'm trying to say is, its just fabric, lace, or what have you.  To me it is way to easy to lose sight of the real meaning of the day that you are about to embark on.  Best of luck to you, please remember that you will more than likely look back and what was stressing you about the wedding will make you laugh and rolls your eyes once its all over.

    I felt the same way about my dress as mhogberg did. I ordered my dress without ever seeing it in person. I saw two pictures of it on the internet. I had previously tried on a few dresses to get an idea of what I would look best in. I took all of those features (cinched waist, 3/4 length lace sleeves, corset back, etc.) and found a dress that had all of those things. In my mind it was fool proof, and trying on dress after dress is not my idea of a good time. My dress came in last month and it is absolutely beautiful. I love it! Trust your instincts and and remember that not everyone has the same "say yes to the dress omg it's so beautiful I'm going to cry" experience. I certainly didn't. Don't let some idea you had in your head affect the reality of the fact that you will look beautiful on your day :)

    Thank you everyone and am going to try to love my dress more. I've had a few bridel melt downs in the last few days and think the stress of pulling off a wedding in so little time has kinda gotten to me but I know 70+ days it will be over with and we can move on with this new chapter in our lives.

    oh hunnie, I have 16 days left. loved my dress when I bought it in February, hate it now. lol, have no choice but to wear it. I lost 4 dress sizes, got the dress altered and even though it's a corset back, it just doesn't feel the same.

    I know that everyone wants to be that gorgeous bride and I'm sure you will be, but try not to stess too much on the dress. Focus on all the other great things about your special day. A wedding and marriage is a big thing and is way more important than a dress you will wear for a couple of hours.

    Start thinking of a glam hairdo, jewellery and make up to bring that dress out even more and make you look super fab.Wink
