I ordered a new dress! (a little long) with pics! UPDATE: my father's reaction

After deliberating for several months, I decided to go with a new dress! Ordering my first dress was a huge mistake..I was with my fmil and my mother when I ordered it...they basically talked me into ordering it on a whim because I would get it for an unbelievable price, and since the day I ordered it, i've been doubting it...I tried to find ways to tweak it to make it more ME, but I knew it was all for nothing...so i've been secretly looking for another dress and I found it! I'm going to post pics of my old dress and my new dress...but i'm going to take the pics down soon (FH is a lurker )!

I'm so happy with my choice! it's more my style, not to mention MUCH more flattering! and I know FH will LOVE it...the only thing I liked about the other dress was the fact that it was unique (especially the train), but that was it....my new dress is PERFECT, i love everything about it i'm so happy...it's eve of milady...

I hope the pics don't come out too big!

Original Dress


New Dress




Edited with story:

Now listen to this hilarious story,

I showed my father both dresses yesterday and he says: 'That was a bad choice..the first dress looks so much better....it has a 'simple elegance' that the new dress just doesn't have...'

??????????????????

I will NEVER understand men, I swear

I love the new one - you made a great choice! Good for you. I kinda wish I had waited, too. Did you take the other one back? Or are you eating the cost?

Re: I ordered a new dress! (a little long) with pics!

omg i LOVE the new dress, and i can totally see you in it!

i'm so happy for you that you went w your true feelings and kept looking...the first dress is pretty, but i can tell from the pic that the eve of milady will look so much better on you! if you had stuck w the first dress it would have been bothering you the entire wedding. now you'll feel absolutely beautiful and enjoy your day even more!!

congratulations!!!!

I couldn't have said it better myself, you know how brides want to wear their dress forever? I knew I wouldn't get that feeling with the first dress..I stayed in my second dress for like 2 hours after I tried it on at the salon, lol....but they wouldn't let me take pics, sorry
