Second Guessing My Dress Choice, Help so confused with pics and poll

Original post by TheFutureMrsM

Everyone be honest with me please
The dress i bought is amazing, i love it, but i am realizing that the reason it is Baggy on the model is because that is how its supposed to be. I tried on the models dress and it was tight, a size 6 altered to a 4, So the pic of my in the dress i could hardly breath. My dress will be a size 8. So it will be baggy so i can sit and move around without a problem. I could not sit and barely walk in the sample dress.
That being said. I think i am changing my mind. I dont know if i will be happy with the dress when it comes in and it is loose like the models.

There is another dress i really loved as well. Its not a full dropped waist. But its more tight fitting because it does not go under my butt. In the model picture you can see how fitted it looks, and that is how it fit me. And the ballgown was poofy.

What should i do, keep this dress or change my order to the other one?
Here are pics and a poll so you can compare.

I dont even want to tell FH, because he is so happy, and i was happy, never in my life did i think he would buy me such an expensive dress but he really loves me and wants me to sooo happy.
But he can tell something is wrong, and that im upset but i keep telling him that i am ok.






See how baggy the dress is, that is how it will fit me when it comes in my size. Can i live with that. If its to tight i cant sit or walk in it.



Here is me in the dress, look how the fabric is loose, and that is with the dress skin tight that i could barely breath. Imagine how it is in my size.

Here is the 2nd dress i was contemplating buying, because the bodice is nice and fitted.
Also this dress is the same exact material, and color as the original dress.











Thanks Guys so much, I appreciate ALL ADVICE
GOOD BAD AND UGLY!!!!!

everyone i showed that lace one too said i look like a spanish senorita, no one liked it, only alot of people on LIW lol.
I dont think i wanted lace, and i dont look good in A-line, and i wanted to stay away from traditional ballgowns, i have a long torso so dropped waist looks good on me

I will agree i love that lace lazaro gown alot, its really gorgeous, but alot of my close family did not like it.


You know what? You should go alone. By yourself. Try on some dresses. Sometimes I think getting everyone's opinion (family, us on LIW, etc.) only confuses people and makes us second guess ourselves.

You have a vision of what you want to look like on your wedding day. Sometimes your family or friends have a totally different vision. You know the style you want and the look you're going for. Don't let anyone (family or us!) get in the way of you picking what you want!


i agree, it doesn't matter what any of us like better, you have to wear it and love the way you look, it has to be YOUR dream dress not ours. We all have different taste, and go alone you don't need anyone pushing their taste on you.

I don't think you should go by what your family says..no offense. But I know that some of them are slightly old-fashioned.....they aren't good people to take advice from. I think you should go with someone else perhaps??

First of all, you're awesome for even being able to put a size 4 dress on your body.

I would never have guessed that the first dress was so constricting, b/c it looks to me like it fits you fine. I think if its bigger, you're going to lose the shape of the dress - you won't get that hour-glassy shape.
