    *omg* Did I buy the right dress??

    Thanks ladies for all the advice... I may end up going with a compromise and asking my store to alter the top to be like the *San Patrick Evelyn (I mistakenly said Demetrios above) and maybe even a flower/ruffle one shoulder strap??? but I will also be calling the other store to 'inquire' if their Evelyn sample can be sold and for how much wink.gif

     

    If anyone MIGHT be interested in purchasing the dress to the right please let me know

    Carly - Thanks for your comments, but unfortunately the store doesn't carry the lace gown and can't order the first dress :(

    ..... and like you it still takes my breath away..... I felt like a million bucks in that one!!  but I went with the 'ruffles' for the theme PLUS its more comfortable than the lace... BUT does a bride go for GLAMOUR or COMFORT???

    But back to your question.  I absolutely think if you aren't happy, you should look for an alternative solution.   Does the place you bought your dress, carry the dress that you want?  Maybe they'll accept an exchange?

     

    For what it's worth, I think both dresses are gorgeous on you, but #1 took my breath away.  It seems made for your body.



    Hi Mocha!  My theme is very spanish, but my venue is not a beach.... it will be a church wedding and a beach/restaurant reception.  Not sure if it makes a difference though.... 

    I went to the store I bought the dress from and she also suggested that she'll do whatever it takes for me to fall in love with it again.... I just don't feel that it flatters my figure as well :(

I too experienced the "can't stop looking" feeling, but that's because I never felt a special attachment to the dress I chose. You'll look gorgeous on your day. If you want, maybe you can look into adding some bling like a sash? I added fuchsia netting to my crinoline to make it feel more special to me.



     

    Thanks TLGnhci - I've managed to complain SO MUCH that my groom knows I'm having these doubts :(

    HELP!!!  I'm one of those brides that is suffering from severe dress regret and am not sure if I bought the right dress....

     

    THE STORY:

    I went dress shopping with my sister while my mom was away on vacation. We went to at least 6-8 stores tried on at least 30-50 dresses, narrowed it down to my top 3 and brought my mom back to see them.  At one of the stores my mom pulls a completely different/new gown I hadn't tried on and was eventually convinced that it didn't fit the scene, the venue, the theme (*ruffles were more 'spanishy'), etc. since it was heavy and lace. Not to mention I wanted to do a TTD and I'd drown in the beading/lace!!  After leaving that store, we went across to the next store to try on another dress from my top 3 - it was on sale and I ended up  making the purchase...... yet I still can't stop looking and trying on dresses/gowns because I've LOST that 'wow feeling' of the one I bought.... what do you guys think? I don't know how to add a poll to a thread but I'd be interested in some opinions?

    Coral Bridesmaid Dresses?

    Hi Mocha - could I ask you to comment on the quality of the dress and style that you received from bigdaydress??  Were the dresses the same as in the picture and it was just the color that was off? or were the dresses just horrible??  

     

    I'm expecting my MOH's dress in early Feb, but I'm watching an episode of Wedding SOS right now where the dresses they bought online were HORRIBLE!! and i'm really getting scared and nervous.  I'm really worried that once I get the dress (and if they're just crappy quality) I might have to change my mind and get them made by a seamstress and not sure how much time they will need, so I guess the sooner I decide the better.

    Thanks for posting the comparison pictures - that does look REALLY red.  EEKS! I'm super nervous now.  If you're wanting a more pinkish tone then I would say you should order #20 (which is what the site told me matches Coral the best)... Or just go with another dress you find.
