Dress Regret??

Peachy321 · December 2012

Has anyone else out there suffered from dress regret??

I ordered my wedding dress a little over 6 weeks ago (my wedding is in September 2013) and I am starting to really question my decision! I ordered style 3722 from Sincerity Bridal. I haven't found any photos online of my dress on a real bride- just on the designers website, and I don't have any pictures of myself in it (my sister has some- but they aren't flattering with the big clamps in the back to hold the dress on since it was too large) .. I just keep second guessing my decision

Also, I don't purposely mean to look at other dresses but inevitably every time i come to TK or google wedding ideas I am faced with other dresses that I think look amazing!!

Here is a picture of the dress I ordered.... I just feel like it's kind of blah.. Hoping that when it comes in I will like it ?

I didn't have regrets b/c as soon as I put it on, I knew it was the one. However, you definitely have to stop looking. It's hard, but there is always going to be another dress out there somewhere, and if you don't stop looking, you are always going to wonder if you made the right choice. If your sister was with you, I'm sure she would have told you if the dress didn't look good on you!

I just saw this dress online! I think it's absolutely gorgeous and wrote it down to try on! First of all, stop looking at other dresses and don't stress about it until it comes in because there isn't anything you can do about it until then.

I agree with PP about stopping looking, even if it's hard. I think the dress you chose is beautiful, and looks like it could flatter any body type. I'm sure you'll look stunning!

I think the dress is stunning, and I'm a huge fan of lace! Dress regret is VERY common, but when it comes in and you try it on, you will remember why you fell in love with it.

I second what PP have said, you should stop looking at other dresses. It'll only make you doubt your decision more. I think the dress looks awesome! It kind of looks like the dress I chose.

Thanks for making me feel better.. I know I am probably one of many bride-to-be's who have had these thoughts!! Hoping when the dress comes in I will love it!

That dress is gorgeous. Trust me, dress regret is not uncommon. I had it, I spent 6 months making myself insane. I bought a second dress. I ended up selling the second dress and wearing my original dress.

I never had that "say yes to the dress" crying, emotional moment. Althouh some people do have it, it doesn't happen all the time. Honestly, based on what I see here, it doesn't happen "most" of the time.

Most brides buy the dress that fits them well, suits their style, and is in their budget. There are thousands of wedding dresses out there. And most of them are beautiful. If you keep looking, there WILL be another dress that catches your eye. So, do your best to avoid eye contact with dresses. It will make you nuts.

that is a beautiful dress! Just remember how you felt when it was on

I know its hard seeing other pictures, its inevitable. And yes there are a many, many other dresses that are just as pretty or even prettier, but you will love your dress because it is right for you! IMO, great choice!

Thanks for you advice everyone!

And cmgilpin, I never had the experience either! I was more or less like - "OK, looks good, lets do it!" lol

oh it's so pretty why would you have second thoughts?

It looks absolutely gorgeous and is in now way "blah". I agree with PPs that you should stop looking for other dresses. If it comes and you really hate it, then you can probably return it but don't make decisions until then.

This isn't true. Wedding gowns aren't returnable. Every once in a blue moon a salon will let you order a different gown, but that is rare. Don't advise people of this when it is almost always untrue.

I think your dress is gorgeous! I've been having the same feelings, because my dress was such a bargain I've been getting scared that swayed my decision, but whenever I put it on I do love it! I can't help but looking at other dresses either, but I think everyone's right, there will always be something else but just stick with your gut (that's why you bought the dress in the first place!)
