help - wedding gown doubts

Original post by MrsC2010

ok so as most of you know i posted my gown that i got yesterday.

i was excited when i was trying on my dress and really thought i loved it....but last night i couldnt sleep bc i just kept having doubts if it was really the 'one'....again all day it was making me really nervous/upset....i think the dress is beautiful and it was flattering but i am just wondering if i made my decision too fast

my mom called rk bridal and they said we can stop the order but we would lose the deposit (like 500 bucks)...my mom is being awesome and keeps telling me she doesnt care about the money and wants me to LOVE my dress so if i want to cancel it now we can just walk away....even if i end up doing back to that dress she says thats fine...she just wants me to make sure i am happy and not stressing out for the next year or so about the dress

sooo i am torn on what to do....i mean i know my mom is willing to cancel the dress tonight if thats what i want...but i do really like the dress..im just having doubts....ahh any advice would be appreciated

if you called the next day, they should refund your money, no questions asked.
I would fight them on it

Did you pay cash?
if you paid credit card i would dispute the charge






I agree and am pretty sure any purchase/contract is 100% refundable within 3 days, especially on a credit card

I searched for my dress in September and it came in January...For a while I went back and fourth in my head b/c it was the first one that I tried on but I loved it. Within that four months that it took the dress to come in, I went to RK and Macy's to try on more dresses and when I did, those other ones couldn't compare to the first one. It was just a feeling I had. My only advice that I can offer is that when you pick a dress there is a reason why you fell in love with it and sometimes you can loose sight of it during the waiting process. Take some time and think about it.

I say don't order it then. You don't want to end up with a dress you don't love. Personally I would forfeit the 500 bucks...

Hi! I actually haven't posted in awhile, but this defenitly sparked me to start posting again (just have been so busy with work lately)! I can defenitly relate to how you are feeling, and from what I have read...it's quite normal to feel this way after making one of the most important decisions for the bride, her dress! After the day I decided on my dress with my mom, I went home that night so excited and a day or two later I started to think...did I make the right decision, should I have waited and looked around longer? This was the third store, and between the three stores I tried on many many dresses....this dress was the last one and once I put it on, I fell in love with it and didn't want to take it off. The feeling didn't come close to any of the other dresses. Thats when I knew this was it! I didn't want to look anymore...I felt like a princess and I still remember the feeling. Even though I loved it, I did start to think and obsess...I even started looking through magazines, past brides...and I then realized how much I do love my dress, and I just thought of how I felt in the dress. Just try to remember how you felt in the dress. So, maybe go back to the store and try the dress on again...and try on others too...just so you can compare, and in the end you may just be loving your dress, and it will give you the peace of mind that you found your perfect dress. If you know that this isn't your dress, then I would defenitly cancel and try to get your money back. They should be willing to work with you, especially if they want your business...and its just been a day, I would defenitly go down and talk to them -if you decide to cancel. Best of Luck!!!

I would tell you to go back to the store, try on some other dresses and then try on the same dress again at the end. Wear some high heels you feel sexy in and do your makeup - see how you feel in it being a little dolled up.

Otherwise, don't worry about it. Do what you feel is right and have no regrets - whatever the outcome is. It is good that you have a very supportive mother by your side.!

Wish you all the best!

Are you able to sleep on it? Maybe let the dress settle a little in your brain. In the morning, you maybe less confused and more able to discover what you really want.

its never good to have doubts so i would definatly go with ur gut! its the one thing that you will get to wear once in your life and you rself has to be happy with it! when i was originally suppose to be married last year i kept going back to the bridal place to try it on almost everyday cause i was having strange nightmares bout it not fitting or something going wrong with it
