Re: Dilemma

Simple advice...stop looking at other gowns!

It's tough, but it'll work!

Maybe focus on BM dresses instead?

Re: Dilemma

I would go back to the store and try the dress on again...I went through the same thing - and as soon as I tried the dress on again I got that 'the one' feeling again

Ditto. If you see white, sheild your eyes. (This goes for Diamond white, ivory, and champagne as well.)

Wait until you actually see your dress in person before making a hasty decision that you don't love it anymore. Try and remember exactly what you loved about that dress in the first place.

If you get your dress in and still think it's not the one, look into selling it and if you can afford it, begin the process all over. I doubt that's the case though, I hear this *SO* often from brides before they actually get their dress in.

ITA! Stop looking!

You picked your dress for a reason, don't forget that

My bridal store told me I can come try it on whenever and for whoever. You could even go to a different bridal store and make like you're interested in buying, but you *CANNOT* let them put anymore dresses on you. Not until you make the decision to go for a second dress.

Re: Dilemma

My best friend is going thru the same dilemma - and I told her to just go back to the store and try on her dress and stop looking at other dresses. You picked that dress for a reason - you will look gorgeous on your wedding day no matter what - love what you have and enjoy every minute of it - stop doubting yourself !!

Totally OFF TOPIC but I used to read SASSY as a kid, and hung up the big Johnny Depp poster that came with their 1st issue. I even have a book about Sassy.. 'How Sassy changed my life: A love letter to the greatest magazine of all time'.

You have the best avatars!

Carry on!!

Re: Dilemma

let me just tell you that what your feeling is totally normal....I kinda went through this for a short period. I guess it's because it's your 'Big Day' that you've dreamt about your whole life and when you finally buy the gown it's like OMG did I make the right decision? But I had went back and tried the gown on again and I had tears in my eyes and knew that I definitely made the right choice!! I didn't even want to take it off and now I can't wait till I can actually wear it!! So, don't worry just go try it on again if you feel that you need too!!

Re: Dilemma

This is why I am afraid to order my dress too soon!
I keep thinking about it so guess i made the right choice.

I am sure you did too- Maybe you need to go see it again to refresh that feeling you had.
