need some re-assuring please

so i've been looking at brides reviews lately and i happened to come across a bride whose dress i fell in love with. now i'm not sure if i love the dress that i got. when i went dress shopping, i knew i wanted a princess ballgown. i got one of those but i saw a 'poofier' dress. i have pics of me in my dress in my album. i don't know if i love it now. do i love it? or do i love the other girls dress? please tell me that i'm crazy and that i should stick with my dress.

well I don't know what a help I will be but I say its the whole grass is always greener on the other side. You tried your dress on and you loved it right? It looks great on you I might add . You have no idea how this other dress will even look on. So I say unless you hate your dress stick with what you have. You loved it when you got it and you know what it looks liike on. good luck with your decision.

I love your dress! You are so petite that a poofier dress might 'swallow' you up!!!
And look at the big smile on your face in the pics! Even YOU know how great that dress looks on you!! Don't doubt!!

My mom said. You got the guy so stop looking, you got your dress so stop looking. You will always find something a little better but don't kick yourself for it. If you want to add some body to your dress put a crinolin slip under it. That is what I am doing with mine.

I think you look beautiful in your dress. The advice given to me is to stick with what you liked from the beginning.........

Your dress is beautiful and you look fantastic in it.. what if you got a bigger slip?

I love your dress! It looks FABULOUS on you! A poofier dress might make you look really petite or as cherilicious16 said it might swallow you up.
If you want the skirt a little fuller try different crinolins underneath it.
HTH Let us know how it goes!

I agree..though I think your dress looks beautiful on you, if you want it poofier, try it with a larger slip!

Re: need some re-assuring please

If it's just a poofier look you're going for, can you get a fuller skirt with extra toole for underneath?

I think your dress is beautiful. If you are questioning yourself-try on the other dress. Be careful though-my mom did this and fell in love with dress #2 and it needed a french bustle, and tons of alterations, and was a complete pain in the a$$ the day of the wedding-the bustle was all wrong and I spent the entire CH trying to make it look somewhat presentable. Good luck!

Re: need some re-assuring please

it's going to happen as you plan Jess... trust me.. i second guess a lot of things.. its just part of wedidng planning. I stopped looking at other dress as best I can. You look gorgeous in that dress!! And as far as the photographer goes.. you aren't always going to hear great reviews..people have different opinions and things happen. Keep an open mind!
