awww Mary you still have time if u wanna look for something else!....did you see my other post about bridal world? maybe you can find something there?



You definitely have time! My mother didn't get her gown until a few weeks before the wedding.

You can also try going to a department store and getting something there. Incidently, my gown was not a wedding dress, it is just a white gown with a slip under it. Pics are in my album. So if I could do it you can do it!

Definitely don't get something if you are not thrilled with it. There is plenty out there. You will find something!



I appreciate your encouragement, but the gown is paid for and in the hands of the alterations lady. I'll
be ok. Mary MOB

well the only advise I can give is try on everything. both Mom and MIL got dresses they didnt like on the hanger and those were the ones they went with in the end. So you never know. Good luck

Mary, as long as you are comfy, and Debi likes it, I guess you are golden...I mean were you really ever going to wear it again anyway?

Hi Jessica!!! No, I'll probably never wear it again. I told Debi, 'Yes you might like it, but if I don't feel pretty in it, then it's a bummer for me.I think I built up in my mind what my perfect MOB gown would look like, and the dress I bought, totally didn't meet with my dream of what I wanted. But as I've been explaining to my family, I had to get something, because the wedding is soon. Thanks!! Mary MOB

I'm sure you'll look terrific! Maybe a few alterations will make it fit better and you'll be happier with it
