Girls who started doubting their dresses....

If you are having doubts, go back to the salon and try it on. I wasn't feeling my dress for a bit - thought I made too quick of a decision, but when I went back to retry, fell in love all over again.

If you still aren't 100% feeling it, try to see what you think is missing. You can always an accessory to add some oompf, such as a crystal belt or brooch, or sash.

Good luck!

i ALWAYS doubt my dress!!!!!

and the sample was a lil different than the 1 they made me!!! less feahters in my gown than the sample.. so im a lil bummed.. but whateverrr.. it is what it is!!!!!


in the pix.. no1 will reallly notice your dress... when i look at pix.. i notice the brides face and how much she is GLOWING in every pic!!!

dont worryyy!!!

I didn't like my dress for the longest time. i trusted myself though... and i kept it.... i knew i picked it for a reason.

i didnt figure out the reason until the week of. it was the perfect dress for me.

i did revamp and change some things on the dress.... i sweethearted the neckline. added a sash with a twist, added a bunch of hand sewn crystals to the top. And I was super picky with my bustle.

you picked it for a reason.... think about what it is that bothers you about the dress... and alter it to your taste. its sooo much more fun to customize it to be EXACTLY YOU!!!

i doubted my dress the whole time i was waiting for it to come in (6 months). after about 4 months of going back and forth, i talked to my friend who got married a few years ago, and she said that she had the same problem! like me, she kept looking at other dresses (not in person- online, in mags, etc), and wondering if it was 'the one' or if there was a still one out there that would have been better, more like what she thought she wanted originally, etc etc. But then she said that when her dress finally came in, and she put it on, she realized that she did love it after all, and she picked it for a reason. Just hearing that, made me feel a lot better! Then when my dress came in December and I went to see it, I was so happy and relieved!!! i still loved it and it looked great on me. Don't doubt yourself... you picked it for a reason!!!

You really don't like your dress anymore? Its so different and beautiful and dramatic!!! I think a lot of us start doubting. Sometimes I wish I could get another one, but then I think about how the dress made me feel compared to all the others I tried on. Can you add something to the dress? Maybe you just need to change it a little. Maybe some more sparkle?

Your dress came out perfect with the changes. I was just looking at your albums. Nice work!

When we had that dress thread the other day it was the first time I saw your dress and I LOVE it!! I think its unique and looks amazing on you-def not boring at all! But thats JMO.

OMG!!!! YOur dress was my dream dress. I wish I could have afforded it. I had to settle for a less expensive Maggie that looked similar.

I got rid of my first dress. I posted a while back, FH saw a dress a lot like my first one and said it was horrible, looked like an old lady, etc. If I had picked another dress from the same shop they probably would have worked with me (I had already put down 50%) but they wouldn't give me an appointment that day . . . So I went somewhere else, found a dress I loved (that was more my style) and bought it on the spot and wound up losing my 1st dress's deposit.

I did deduct the 1st dress's deposit cost from what I was willing to spend on the 2nd dress because I didn't want to blow my dress budget. My first dress was significantly less money than I was willing to spend. I am very happy with my 2nd dress and don't doubt it at all.

By the way, I never doubted my first dress, it was only because of FH's comments that I got a new dress. There was no way I could wear it after what he said!

aww thanks so much!!! i think i actually started doubting it so much when i realized how popular it is... like how many other people are using the same dress. but i mean, how many people at the actual wedding will have seen it before? probably no one. i guess that's just kind of part of my insecurities surrounding it though...
