I am in love with 3 wedding dresses, and I know that one of them is the one for me, all 3 gave me the cheesy smiles, excited, happy, princess feeling, one made me cry, one made my mum and a BM cry.
I am going back to try all 3 dresses on in the same day in a few days, however as I'm sure you all know - since Saturday, I have done nothing BUT think of these three dresses. 2 of them are very similar - lace, sparkly, fitted, high necks and backs. 1 is strapless, sparkly, big silk princess skirt (this is the style I was so sure I didn't want).
My thoughts have been - can it really be 'the one' if you would change anything about the dress? The one that is strapless and big skirt, I would be wanting to add sleeves, however I think it would look silly as the bustier part of the dress is sooo sparkly. I don't just want to add straps as I feel like I look massive and broad in a strapless dress. This makes me think although I ADORE the dress, its not the one. Noone cried, I just had a big cheshire grin on my face!
One of the dresses that are similar to each other, I would add a belt to, not such a dramatic change but still a change, it made me cry. The other dress - I wouldn't change a thing and it was also my dream dress when browsing online and seeing it in the shop window. It also is the one that made my mum and a BM cry.
I know everyone goes on about knowing 'the one' when you try a dress on, but I am not fully convinced that exists, or maybe I just won't get that feeling with just one dress.
I have also thought about going to a designer to see if they can design a dress that incorporates the big princess style skirt of the dress I love and the top of one of the other dresses, however when I think of how it would look - dogs dinner comes to mind and I just cant see it working!
Anyways the reason for this post (sorry for it turning into a long one) is to ask this simple question - if you want to alter a dress in a big way, does this really mean its not the one and is the dress you woudn't change a thing on the one?
