SAD... I just came back from trying on my dress!

When I first put it on I was so happy. It looked much better on me than it did the last time I tried it on because it f the first fitting. The top is still a little loose... I am wearing cups instead of a bra (becasue the back is too low) and I feel so flat chested. I was still pretty much happy though. THEN I came home and looked at the pictures my mom took. I looked HORRENDOUS. The pictures looked so bad that I had to delete a few of them immediately. Now I hate my dress and I am really sad

I hope next week it will look better

We are always our own worst critic, I know you must look beautiful in your dress! The pics are unprofessional, you are not done up..etc. Do not pay any attention to them. You are absolutely beautiful and are going to be stunning on your wedding day!

Awwwww, I am sure you look fine. Do you have any pics left?? Remember, we are our own worst critics. What did you mom say?

Re: SAD... I just came back from trying on my dress!

this happened to me too- except it was the sample. When I decided to buy the dress- I wanted to take as many pics as possible. And I had the same thing happen..

Then I was talking to a couple of my friends-- and this too happened to BOTH of them-- they hated the digital pics of them in the dress-- and I can say that they both were beautiful and their dresses were amazing on their wedding day. This made me feel better anyway.

I think this is a common thing- and d-pics are not always so great.

I just wanted to add that this exact thing also happened to me too. I was thrilled with my dress until I saw the pics. I called my sales consultant in a panic, I was about to change my mind for the third time and she told me that this happens all the time and if it were up to her she wouldn't let brides take these pics anymore because they always freak themselves out. Have no worries!!

I am absolutely certain that you look beautiful in your dress. It was probably a combination of the lighting in the salon and the digital camera. Please don't stress about it.

As others have said, keep in mind you were not done up.

As my mom says 'Everything will be Ok'

Re: SAD... I just came back from trying on my dress!

Julz----first of all, STOP looking at those damn pictures! You are just going to keep feeling upset. You are beautiful. You are probably just a little oversensitive b/c you want everything to be PERFECT. It will all work out, I promise!

Re: SAD... I just came back from trying on my dress!

this happened to me too. i hate the pictures on my camera and i must look at them every day, but every time i go in to see my dress, i love it. it's probably because your hair and make up were not done and that is making the pictures worse then they really are. i am sure it looks great on you.

I liked in while it was on me. It is now when I look at the pictures that I hate it.
I hate all the tiaras with it too and I don't want to wear one. My mom is fighting woth me telling me I have to.
And to make matters worse I went on the knot and looked at some peoples bios who have my dress... and they all look so great it in
