Dress Regret....(long... sorry)
A little back story..This is my 2nd wedding, my FH's first so we are doing the big wedding thing.. I HATED my first wedding gown and didn't want that to happen again this time..
This time around I searched in about 10 different stores for dresses.. I'm a plus size bride so it was hard to find things to actually try on.. I think in the end I put on about 40 different dresses.. Everything I liked, my mother or MOH or cousin had something to say about.. I really wanted a ballgown..Everyone else wanted me in an A Line gown. So we arrive at the final store, put on 3 dresses and on the 4th dress I come out and everyone is now crying because they are saying its the perfect dress.. honestly I couldn't get a great idea of it because it was a little small and to me was feeling more like a fit and flare rather than a line but the sales person assured me that it would be an A line when it arrived in my size.. So we said yes to the dress... I kept thinking in my head how I just wasn't sure but thought maybe they were right it would fit better when it came in.. Shockingly..my dress arrived in 2 weeks.. yes.. 2 weeks.. So i went and tried it on with my mom and aunt and I HATED IT... But again my mom and aunt were crying saying how beautiful it was so I kept my mouth shut..
This past saturday I finally said something to my mom about not liking the dress.. She was upset because she knew how much I hated my first dress.. We went out looking again, this time at ball gowns and realized that it's the style I should be wearing..The problem is, the dress I purchased was paid in full.. We are going tomorrow to speak with the bridal salon to see what we can do..
Anyone else have this experience or have dress regret??
