Today

I picked up my dress and went for my trial with Jacqualine Nicole.
Has anyone NOT loved there dress as much as they did when they ordered it? I felt like ' oh jeez, I dont really like this anymore' lol
Jacqualine did an AMAZING job.. I booked her for my day.

Re: Today

I kinda felt that way too, I picked out a very plain dress and never took into consideration of a dress off the shoulder (with limited arm movement)...I think I still like that it is very plain with no work on it but I am not happy about the arms and if I could do it over, I wouldn't have picked a dress with off the shoulder sleeves! Oh well, I can't change it now as I am getting married in 4 weeks!

Re: Today

not so much 'I dont like this anymore' but as I have been going to fittings, I dont get that 'OOOH This is the one' feeling anymore.

Re: Today

I'm not in love with my dress anymore either, I thought the sample was much more flattering to my shape-but like Stacedz said-it's too late now-33 days to go!! I'm sure it's just a bridal thing we all go through.

Re: Today

SAME thing with me!
I got an off the shoulder dress and only noticed that I have limited arm movement today when I tried it on before I took it home.
This stinks.
I'm 6 weeks away

Re: Today

OK you guys just freaked me out. I will probably never put a deposit on a dress now.

Re: Today

I honestly really thought this was just me, I feel better that you girls feel the same! Happy, doesn't that arm thing bother you, I needed my arms taken out A LOT too and at my first fitting, I felt like a stuffed sausage in it! I could only raise my arm up to shoulder length and my Dad is 6'2, how am I going to dance with him??!! They are taking it out AGAIN but I think you normally have limited arm movement w/ off the shoulder and I never thought about that when I tried it on. That made me re-think, was this THE one?!!?

Re: Today

I felt the same way, when I went to try it on, and it was 2 sizes too big, but once it was altered...I LOVED it even more than the first day I put it on.

Re: Today

It's so funny that you should say that about not 'loving' your dress when you pick it up. I am sure that I will end up feeling the same way since it has happened to me before with my prom dress, my sweet 16 dress....etc. - lol

Re: Today

I am so glad to hear that I am not the only one who has felt this way. I am so torn between loving and hating my dress. Not to mention the fact that I have a pretty good idea that FH is not going to like it! I have to keep reminding myself that there was a reason why I picked it out 9 months ago and I have to stop second guessing every decision I make about this wedding. Its just a dress, right?

Re: Today

I GOT AN OFF THE SHOULDER DRESS ALSO, I FELT IT LOOKED MORE ELEGANT ON ME THEN STRAPLESS OR A TANK DRESS, AND THE LADY AT THE BRIDAL SUITE WAS SURE TO WARN ME THAT I WOULD HAVE LIMITED ARM MOVEMENT BUT I DIDN'T CARE I LOVED THE DRESS ON.. LETS JUST HOPE I STILL LOVE IT AT MY FIRST FITTNG

Re: Today

Well, I'm ordering my dress next weekend. I know for now I still LOVE it and have tried on others after I chose it, and still know it's the ONE. I hope I feel that way when it's time to actually wear it. I hope to lose 20 pounds and hope that the appeal of my curves in the dress don't disappear with the pounds.

btw, I also booked JN, she's the greatest !!!
