2nd guessing your wedding dress (long)

Ok here is my story and can someone tell me that Im just being dramatic.
In Aug after we got engaged I went to look at dresses, tried on about 5 dresses in 3 different stores.... Found 'the dress' loved it.... the women in the boutique told me 1600 for it, I told her I need to decide but she wrote down the model number and everything. So i went on houseofbrides found that dress for $800 and also found another place that could order it for me for like $900 so I went to the second place (first place was reallllly nice/good sales ppl) so I ordered that dress (without trying it on b/c the woman didn't have it in stock) so when my dress came in like a month ago and i went to try it on - i didnt feel 'wowed'like i did when i tried it on in the first place. And I almost cried! I could tell by my sisters face that that dress didnt look the same on me as it did originally sooooo psycho girl that I am went to the first place & they had my dress in the window.....
And I told them my whole drama,,,, and they said that it all depends on the salespeople how they present the dress, the lighting in the store, the thing underneath the dress (cremling- i dont know what its called.... english is my second language LOL) everything makes a difference......
So now I'm thinking about taking my dress out of the second place where I purchased it and bringing it to the first place to have the alterations and evertyhing else.
Am i going crazy? I was even thinking about buying another dress.

Talk about stress!

Your dress is Beautiful. But if it makes you feel better get the alerations done at the other place. If that will help you then do it.

OK I just looked at the pics in your album and your dress is so pretty! don't second guess it! It's true that a different crinoline (what goes under the dress) can make it look different--poufier or not. If you're not comfortable with the place you bought it, see if you can take it somewhere else for alterations!

you're not going psycho. i found my dress at macy's on 34th st, loved it, but when i went to order it from manhasset, i didnt' have the same feeling when i tried it on. but when i visited my dress again at 34th st, i fell in love with it all over again. the lighting at the 34th street store was much better, and the dress itself was in much better condition than the one in the manhasset store. you're dress is beautiful, and things like lighting and crinoline (sp?) can make a huge difference.

You're dress is beautiful! At some point, a lot of us probably second guess the dress (along with everything else affiliated w/ the wedding).
