Dress you THOUGHT you wanted vs. dress you got

Original post by Suzannebride

Has this been done before? Post the dress you thought you wanted before you went looking and then the dress you actually did get.

Re: Dress you THOUGHT you wanted vs. dress you got

I loved all of the following and wanted something similar originally:
Melissa Sweet

Kleinfeld Dresses I LOVED and salivated over but way toooooo much money!






All the ones I loved were very similar yet when I tried ones that were similar on, they looked TERRIBLE on me! Clung in all the wrong places. I ended up with the gown in my album.

Here it is again:

Re: Dress you THOUGHT you wanted vs. dress you got

the lilac one is one i had wanted before i went shopping and i did try it on and was even about to buy it but the lady at the store didnt like how it looked on me and she showed me a different one, i had a hard time picking between the two bc i had my heart set on the other one for a while but the one i bought did look alot better on me, and after trying both on several times over and over i realized the one i bought was THE ONE!!!

HOWEVER i am adding some extra work to my dress, i am having them add crystals on the bottom part of the dress in the front the way the first one has beading on the bottom part but a different design

Re: Dress you THOUGHT you wanted vs. dress you got

the dress I wanted was I believe a justin alexander's.... I was all about pick-ups...

After a while, I was 'over' the pick-ups, and became obsessed by dropped waist gowns with box pleating around the hips....

That's when I found my gown.... san patrick desvan

I loved reading thru this thread! I didn't have a particular dress in mind but I knew I wanted a lace edge train. So the first dress, I fell in love with but my mom hated, then I tried on dress #3 and fell in love, it was everything I wanted! Then I found #2 and felt like a princess, but I still wanted my mom's approval and she still wanted #3. So I tried it on with a veil and fell in love all over again.

I was completely obsessed about this dress from the moment I first saw it:


But after trying on a dozen dresses that was 'similar' since nobody in the 5 different bridal shops actually carried that dress, I took a chance at David's Bridal and found this dress:


As soon as I put it on I burst into tears and just KNEW this was it!!

I orginally wanted this Lynee Carter dress but would have had to go to Philly to try it on.



I ended up buying this Suzanne Neville gown instead! I loved my gown!

I fell in love with this Raylia dress... but I actually never got to try it on! When I tried on my dress though I just knew it was the one! I felt like a princess, and everyone in the store stopped to look at me... my mom was even crying! My dress is a Private Label by G!

I thought I wanted a strapless A-line dress with very little beading or embriodery & a short train.

I ended up with:


It has much more detail that I thought I wanted & the train is longer. It is strapless & A-line though!

Thought I wanted...(didn't even try it on, though, knew it would be too much $$$ so I looked at similar styles)



Dress I ended up with (and yes, in that color!) that I absolutely LOVE !!!
