Did I make a mistake with my dress? See picture

So I ordered this dress, but now I am having second thoughts. I asked my cousin for her honest opinion and she said she doesn't think it's me. Now I'm worried, so I want the honest and brutal opinions of strangers. What do you think?

Please let me know what you think.

I like it, but its not really me, so it is hard for me to say for sure without knowing you, etc. If you already bought it and you like it, that is all that matters. Take what other people tell you with a grain of salt. You are the one that is going to be wearing it, not them. If I were you, I would just roll with it and tell them nicely that is the dress you love and you are happy with it. Period.

I like it! It's a popular style - one I've seen in almost every bridal store I went to so there is bound to be someone on her who also chose it. I really like the lace and the cut. It will look even more amazing in your size. I went all lace but didn't want any beading and so that's why I didn't try it on, but I think its pretty. I do like it better with the other color sash For SUre! And you could make it different if you want by using a pretty ivory flower instead of that brooch....

I like it! Remember the only opinion that really matters is yours. Did you order it yet? Once you order it, you have to pay for it. If you change your mind, you will most likely be paying for two dresses (this one and the other one you pick out). I think it's really nice though, and you shouldn't worry about her opinion. You aren't going to get everyone's approval, but once YOUR dress comes in and you try it on in your size and colors, I'm sure she will like it more.

I like it, but it's hard for us to know if it's "you"

i like it. i think the butterscotch sash is a good idea. i like the top going straight acros too. i saw a similar dress to this on say yes to the dress and thought it was really pretty. i haven't bought my dress yet but i hear it's quite common for girls to have second thoughts once they buy it. i'm sure i'll feel the same way once i buy mine. if you like the dress and have bought it don't let others sway you. you're the one wearing it. and don't look at other dresses : )

It's beautiful!
Classic. Vintage. Mature. Romantic.
This is the kind of dress you'll look back on and love for years! Princess dresses are so over and the women who wear them are fooling themselves. You look like a woman who's ready to get married, not like a little girl playing dress up! AMAZING! STUNNING!

don't second guess yourself

I

the fabric.

emisi · May 2010

I think it looks lovely. Keep in mind that your cousin may also be speaking from her own personal sense of style, which may not run to lace. I think it looks nice on you.

katanne9 · May 2010

I hate when people say "It's not you". YOU are the only one who can decide if it's YOU.

I think it's a beautiful dress. If you feel it's "you", go for it.

I think it's beautiful! It's not about what your cousin or any of us think, though. It is about what you think!

vanessahartman · May 2010

I love it - and it looks good on you. It's normal to wonder about your dress in between ordering it and the time it comes in. I think that when everything is right - the neckline, size, sash color - you'll love it as much as (or more than!) when you ordered it.

It is a classic, elegant, flattering dress - and YOU loved it for a reason. Remember that!

This exactly. It is pretty, but I can't comment on whether or not it is "you."

ring_pop · May 2010

I think it's a beautiful dress. And ditto that no one knows whether it's "you" better than YOU.

t.kaufman · May 2010

I think it's beautiful!

Also, I'm sure people around me would tell me that my dress "isn't me," but that is just because they probably didn't think I'd ever wear a wedding gown! I'm usually a casual girl. Weddings are about enhancing who we are - and it's your only chance to wear an amazing dress! Did you feel amazing when you tried on this dress?

CourtneyBC · May 2010

I think it's pretty, but the more important question here is do you like it?If you feel beautiful, you'll look beautiful! And I don't think that YOU would pick out a dress that wasn't YOU to begin with... Who knows you better than yourself?

daynalyntroy · May 2010

I think it's stunning, and the right size would look amazing on your figure, but not knowing you personally, I can't speak to whether it suits your personality. Other than that, I agree with everything Courtney said. When all is said and done, YOU have to feel beautiful wearing it. If you do, then by all means, wear it, if you don't, then move on.

CaitlinB516 · May 2010

So classy! I'm sure the striaght-across will be pretty but I think the sweetheart makes it sexy. I also think the butterscotch will make a big difference compared to the brown.

baystateapple · May 2010

I would have worn that dress, if it looked good on me.

SuMmErKuTiE · May 2010

I love that dress! I tried that on as well when I was still dress shopping, I just didn't like the way it fell on my figure.

I think if you were to order that dress in your size, it would look fabulous!

StephBKNY · May 2010

I had second guessed my gown starting a month after I bought it. Everyone talked me out of getting a new one. Then the wedding was postponed. A year later and we are getting married. I STILL question my gown, but th e decision to marry came so quick (3 months btween the decision and wedding day) that I do not have time to replace my gown. In short: if you aren't 100% in love with it, get a new one. If you are stuck buying this one anyway, sell it.

It is a beautiful gown but asking us and your family/friends doesn't help because everyone has different opinions. You're the bride in that gown so you must 100% love it!

ktrntrry · May 2010

This dress is beautiful, its one of my two choices. My wedding isn't until next year, but I think I will be ordering this gown.
