Dress regret

Seventh Anniversary First Comment
in Attire & Accessories Forum
First time posting on here, I just need some urgent advice, my wedding is coming up next month and I have been having major dress regret. I will be the first to admit that I am a very indecisive person, however I think my dress regret started when I sent the picture to my best friend and she said "oh I pictured you would get something more elegant and classy" :(. Ever since I can't stop thinking about it. Yes it is completely different than what I thought I would get (A-Line and lace) but I would never say that to another bride. I can't stop thinking about it, I know its unhealthy. I think I have pear shape body and perhaps this style of dress does not suit my body type and maybe that's why she thinks is not classy, I don't know. Sorry I'm going on, are there any other brides that went through a similar situation? How did you get over your dress regret. I don't think I can afford to get a new dress. Some advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    You look fabulous in that dress, don't worry about it not being classy or elegant because it totally is. 

    P.S. are you wearing the belt or no?

    I think that dress is very elegant! And it looks great on you! My bet is that your friend knew you were thinking of a different style originally, and needs to choose her words more carefully. It really is a beautiful dress.

    It looks great on you.  I think it is just the style that is not for everyone's taste, such as your friend's, but it is your dress and you have to love it.  What other people want to see you in is irrelevant.

    I love your dress and you look stunning! I wish I had a figure like that. Please put your friend's comment out of your head, she's probably kicking herself for how it came out. Have a wonderful wedding x

    Don't take your friend's words to heart. I think your dress is very classy, especially with that belt. Forget about the comment and focus on the things you love about your dress. Can you try it on again sometime soon? It helps to put on your dress and remember all the things you loved when you bought it and feel all the feels.

    I personally don't like those dresses, but I have to say damn girl! You look awesome! That belt is kick ass and you will be turning heads on your wedding day. And that's coming from someone who isn't into that style of dress. You have nothing to be regretful for you truly look breath taking!

    Who cares what your friend says?!  You picked this dress for a reason right?  Try to remember what you loved about it when you bought it.  Not everyone will love your dress and that is okay. Don't let one comment ruin the dress for you.  You look amazing in that dress.  Is it a-line?  No, but you already knew that.  But is it elegant and classy?  100% yes.

    A lot of times I find that people will push their own style and wants in a dress on someone else, even if they don't realize it.  And I think that may have been what your friend did.  So ignore what she said and remember how you felt about your dress when you bought it.

    That dress looks great on you and is very flattering to your figure! Please ignore your friend's rude comments. You obviously loved that dress when you bought it so remember that!

    By biggest piece of advice is to stop looking at pictures. I don't think pictures (espcially cell phone pictures) does wedding dresses the justice they deserve.

    Thank you so much everyone! It helps to hear that I made a good choice. I tried not to let people's opinion bother me, but she is my best friend so it has been in the back of my mind since she said it!

    Did you feel better about the dress before your friend's (shitty) comment? Sometimes other people's opinions can cloud our own, which seems like what's happening here. I think it looks absolutely amazing on you - you have all the right curves for that style :)

    Your figure looks stunning in that dress. It may not be what you originally expected you'd choose, but here must be a reason why you picked it in the first place. Your friend's rude comment probably came across differently than she intended, though it was still way out of line. Perhaps she expected you to choose a different style and was simply surprised. You look really beautiful in your dress so I hope you do not let your friend's stupid remark taint your love of your dress.

    Glad you feel better about this dress. It really does look stunning on you. Your friend's remark had nothing to do with how you look in that dress and more to do with her personal taste. It's probably not her cup of tea as she may prefer A-lines. But, she is not wearing this dress. This is your dress and when she gets married she gets to pick what she likes even if you hate it.

    This. It's likely that your friend didn't intend to hurt your feelings or make you feel bad about your dress. I'm glad you're not worrying about it anymore. I too am not a fan of those types of dresses, but I think you look gorgeous in it!

    I also chose a dress completely outside what I "pictured" myself wearing. I think you look amazing in that dress, your shape is very nicely accentuated :)
