First dress try-on (pics)... need a little support...

Never thought I'd post a thread up here asking for some support, especially since I'm fairly new to this site and a lil shy to post these pics.

When I first chose my dress I really loved the way it looked on me despite the size 12 sample size. This one is my actual dress (size 2) and I didn't feel the same way as when I first picked the dress. I think it looks just OK.

The reason why I probably don't feel as happy about the way it looks is because it still needs to be altered to fit in length AND needs the undergarments, plus I wish I gained at least 5 lbs...I'm really short and thin.

I have an appointment booked for my first fitting in March and maybe then I will feel better about it. I can't stand to think that I will be feeling this way about my dress for the next 2 months! I'm not even a picky bride, I just wish I felt the same as when I first chose it.

its gorgeous!! you don't have anything to worry about!
you won't beleive what a difference a crinoline and the right undergarmets will make....
my mom made my wedding dress for me... and when she was done, i liked it but something just didn't feel 'wedding-y' enough about it... until i got a crinoline, which made it poofy and i liked it so much better.
i wouldn't worry... once its altered and you have your 'poofy-ness, you'll love it

you're dress is absolutely gorgeous and I think you're crazy! When I saw the pic, my first thought was, what is she talking about?! seriously, though, I *do* understand...just saying that it's beautiful and you have nothing to worry about!!

My dress is actually very similar to yours, and I'm in the same boat..ordered it in a size 2 and tried it on in a 10 or 12...I am the most worried about the sweeheart neckline b/c it is so out of proportion on me in the size 12 that it's hard to tell just what it will look like in my size.

What size slip are you buying? Have you tried any on?

Your dress already looks great on you without the alterations. Once they are done it will eb stunning. The dress is beautiful.

I think it looks very pretty.

You have to also remember the day of your hair and make-up will be done, you'll have jewlery on and your headpiece and veil will make it all complete and I promise you'll have a different opinion

IMO, you look gorgeous. There is a lot of pressure for the dress to be perfect and for it to look perfect to you. Just remember that it won't look nearly as amazing during the fittings, but it will all come together on your wedding day. Judging from the pictures you posted, I have no doubt that you will be a perfect, beautiful bride.

I tried on that exact same dress at Adrienne's. My final choice was between that dress and another. It's a beautiful dress and it looks great on you. I wouldn't worry about it. Every bride has a doubt at some point in time about their dress.

It looks great!
