Help please! :(

Ok so here is my story. I am getting married in November 2015. I already bought my dress. I know, it may be early but I am so in love with it.

Now, here is the problem. I was talking with my fiancès good friends wife to be. She is getting married July of 2014. She was describing the dress to me that she really WANTS. All in all, its MY dress!! I told her I purchased it and showed her a picture of me in it. Same designer, same style number, same store purchased. She said she tried on many more and only went back to that one.

My fiancè is part of his wedding party. Our weddings are 1.5 years apart. What if she buys the same dress? Yes, only 10 or so people will see us both in it (mutual friends), but its going to seem like I copied her!

Its MY dress! What are the odds? I dont want my fiancè seeing the dress at all. He doesnt think its such a big deal. I do.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Please help. Thank you.

    Nobody will remember it's the same dress.  This is a non-issue.

     I agree that likely no one will remember that it's the same dress. As EllaYoung said, every woman wears a dress differently, and this is so true. Plus the style will be different, as you will obviously have your hair done differently/your own jewelry style etc. This can give the dress a whole different look as well. :)

     Regardless, I can imagine how you must feel, as the dress is such a big deal. Plus you did buy it first, so I can understand sort of feeling cheated with the whole ordeal if your friend is also wanting to purchase the same dress. Hopefully she'll understand how you're feeling though, and try on some more dresses before deciding. Maybe even send her a few links of similar dresses you think she may like. If in the end she does choose to purchase the same dress though, I would try & not let it bother you. As I, and the other ladies have said, no one will likely notice or care. If you're that in love with the dress, it shouldn't matter! :)

    i totally, totally understand how you must feel. i would be freaking out too because i'm like that. the reality of it, though, is whatever everyone else is saying. with the wedding so far apart and only so many people attending BOTH weddings, as long as you don't make a big deal about it, it probably won't even be a big deal. your FI prob won't even realize and it wouldn't matter anyway. because when he sees it on you, he sees is ON YOU. and he's going to be blown away.

    but, for your sake and sanity (because i understand), i hope she doesn't end up getting that dress... :P

    I honestly don't think either of you should have a dress already so far out, especially you. But seriously, no one will remember/notice/care that it's the same dress.
