About 5 years ago I bought a Pronovias gown (long story)... I love it, still.  However, I went dress shopping with my MOH who knows and seen the Pronovias gown but encouraged me to look since its been so long and is part of my engagement :) However,  I found another gown I love (of course) but it is completely opposite.  Wondering what you all would say to wearing my original Pronovias gown-or do I try to bring my dress to the salon and compare them both??  My fiance says I should wear the dress I own ... Opinions please,Thanks!

    You say you love them both.  Is there one that "outshines" the other?  One that you can imagine walking down the aisle in?

    If it weren't for your friend insisting you go look, would you have been happy with wearing your original gown?  Would you have even for a second questioned wearing it?  If the answers to those questions are 'yes I would be happy' and 'no I would not have questioned wearing it', then I think you have your answer.

    Sixth Anniversary 100 Comments 5 Love Its Combo Breaker

    I was previously engaged and had a beautiful gown that I loved.  When the engagement ended my mom asked if I was going to keep the dress for when I got married in the future.  I considered it but in the end decided against it.  Basically because I knew when I really did get married I wanted a new dress that told its own story with my new FI and I.  I ended up selling my first dress on preownedweddingdresses.  I actually just found the most beautiful gown and the thought of walking down the aisle to meet my FI now gives me chills. I know without a doubt that this time I have the perfect gown and the perfect guy.

    Long story short- Do you feel like one dress really suits you, your style, or your relationship a bit more?  Is there one you can imagine your FI just smiling ear-to-ear at versus the other?

    I've had a bridal gown for 10 years--I bought it for a different man, a different period in my life, and a different season and setting.
    I *could* wear that dress, in that I can still squeeze myself into it. But to me, doing so would be inappropriate for a number of reasons. So we will be shopping for a new one.

    Ultimately, it depends on you, your budget, and the history of your dress. Men don't always understand these things.
