Help... I've gone off my dress!

I think you need to weigh up the pros and cons of all your options. How much of a deposit have you paid? i would imagine you'll lose it if you don't buy the dress in full - assuming the shop allows you to back out now. There is enough time to get another but it would be tight unless you buy it off the web or something and then you'll need to factor in costs and timings for getting it altered and possibly cleaned. You're not the first this has happened to and certainly won't be the last! It also depends how important to you your wedding dress is. When I went dress shopping, I really didn't care - I didn't feel 'this is the one' at all and the prices put me off so I bought one cheaply off a lady that never wore it and found that I grew to love it so much so that, when the alterations were taking too long & there was a risk I wouldn't have it in time, I was distraught!

I had a bride last year that had 3 dresses? and the one she wore on her wedding day was the first dress she had bought. Just stop looking at other dresses, we are all the same, we buy something then see something better, well I know I am. Have a great day and try to relax.

I think we need to see a picture of u wearing it.. Got any? x

Hi everyone I just wanted to say thank you for your replies but I have now sorted the dress! The shop owner is also a seamstress - I talked to her, tried it on again and she is now 'customising' it for me! Changing the straight neckline to a sweetheart which is making a huge difference and adding some lace - I can't believe the difference!

I think I just let the stress of it all get to me, things are moving so fast now... eek!

Happy and excited again now though! Xx

Glad you feel better about it - I went from thrilled to hatred and back to thrilled in the course of three appointments! As soon as the alterations started I fell back in love as it actually fitted properly :-)
