I am having dress anxiety!

I bought my gown early (I am Nov 04). I tried on like 40 dresses and I only liked 2.

This is the dress that I ordered:

I saw this dress today:

I should have never read the bridal magazine in the doctor's office today! I am sure the Lazaro is super expensive.

I should have waited to order the dress, I can hear all of you saying 'I told you so!' I think I am just freaking out b/c my dad took pics of me in the first dress and he is a horrible picture taker! I swear every pic he takes of me is unflattering.

Both dresses are beautiful! But I think if you really can't get the second dress out of your mind, you should at least try it on. If it looks great on you and you love it, then ask if you can switch dresses. I'm sure if the second one is more expensive they will consider this. I did the same thing and I ordered the second dress just 4 months before my wedding, but as soon as I saw it I had to have it. This is your day, you should be 100% happy with your dress!!

Well, today as I was flipping channels I put on 'magrack' and watched the Lazaro runway show and Lo and behold, there is the dress on a model.

And I have to say I would probably look horrible in it because it is a ballgown and the skirt was so big. It was hard to tell from the picture. I am only 4'11' and i probably would look lost in it! I am glad I saw the runway show. And now I will never look at another magazine again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks ladies!

I actually love the one you put money down on but of course that is just my opinion. You have to go with your gut. Good luck on whichever you decide on.

I was going through the same thing a few weeks ago. Then I got to try on the dress that I ordered I fell in love with it again. I am a strong beliver though to go with your heart. I saw your pics and I think that you looked great! Give yourself a few days to step back and then think about it again.

Peg, I saw that same magrack show and I think I know what dress you are talking about. If you are 4'11' I think you are right that it might overwhelm you. Personally, I love the first dress. I think you'll look wonderful in it!

I know how you feel. I put a deposit on one dress that is nice but I really liked another one but it was $800 more. I am going back to the store Sunday to try the samples on again and HOPEFULLY the dress I did order is not already in the process of being made. But I might decide once i try them on again that I like the one I order. I'm so bad at making decisions like these!
