So I got my dress a while ago because the price was SO right and I really loved it...I kept it in one of the closets at my parents house in the plastic bag they sent it in......Then I started reading all the stuff people posted about storing dresses and learned plastic is a big no no. So I got nervous and checked on it and sure enough the top looked discolored to me! Luckily the store I got it from still has the dress and somehow I was able to exchange it without a problem. I feel relieved and have since wrapped it in a cotton sheet and put it in a garment bag. The problem is this is the only dress I've ever even tried on and I'm worried that maybe it doesn't look as good on me as I want it to (my family swears it's beautiful and beautiful on me) I didn't want to spend a ridiculous amount on a dress you only wear for mere hours especially since we're buying a house...but I just can't stop feeling uneasy. I'll try to post a picture later and maybe you guys could give me some opinions?

wow, i didnt realize that the plastic bag thing was real, i thought it was an old wives tale or something so thanks for sharing that bit. i'm glad the store exchanged it for you.
I'm sure the dress is perfect, you loved it for a reason. Definately post pics so we can all tell you how awesome it is! Try it on again and look in the mirror.... you'll remember why you liked it so much.

Re: dress drama
it is so natural to have second thoughts about such an important piece of your wedding. You want everything to be perfect!!! I'm sure your dress looks amazing on you!
i think u look BEAUTIFUL in that dress!!!! i think u made the right choice... but if you really regret your decision u can check out other dresses but only if your sure u dont like it otherwise you are going to confuse yourself even more

Re: dress drama
I know I'm being kinda crazy but I just worry that since I didn't spend a lot on it that it'll look cheap...or that it it makes me look wide from the front...I'm driving myself nuts. I also want to see what it looks like when I get a good crinoline to wear under it cuz it looks kinda deflated right now.
