Dress Fears

Jennifer, on June 25, 2019 at 4:17 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 5

Went dress shopping this past weekend with my mom, future SIL, future MIL. My mom lives in a different state so she flew in to go dress shopping with me. 5 hours and 25 dresses later.....I said yes to my dress.

The dress I tried on has all the qualities I want, but the sample was a little small on me and it was in a nude color. I ordered my dress (expected to arrive in December) in an ivory color in my size so I know the dress will look different when I get it in, but I've had crippling anxiety about hating my dress ever since I ordered it. Like secretly crying and scheming to call the salon to cancel the order anxiety.

While there is no logical reason for me to be doubting my choice, I keep finding reasons to doubt my dress (the top could be more simple, what if the bottom is too poofy, etc).

Anyone else feel this way? (especially people who then got their dress and re-confirmed they love it???)

I'm terrified of seeing my dress and hating it Smiley cry Smiley cry Smiley cry

    Try to remember why you loved the dress initially, and most importantly... STOP looking at other dresses. Seriously. Don’t do it.

    Just remember that that so many things can be changed about the dress with alterations - you can make the skirt poofier by adding a petticoat, you can change necklines, etc.

    The dress I tried on at the salon was way too big and in a champagne color so I ordered mine I'm my size and the color white and once it came in I fell in love with it 1000 times more!

    I had fear too and I looked at the website to make sure I had ordered what I wanted

    Go try it on again with a veil (if you will wear one), your hair done in the general style you'd want, some jewelry, and a nice pair of shoes. Go alone. Try on dresses by the same designer in the ivory color to solidify your choice.

    I went through this. I actually did a terrible thing and went and tried on about 20+ more dresses after purchasing mine. Turns out I love mine more. This was a dangerous game to play but I had to do it for my peace of mind. I didn't tell my mom what I did, however, because she was with me for the original purchase and I worried she would think I was nuts. ha ha
