Help! Really hated my dress

Laura, 28 March, 2024 at 15:04 Posted on Wedding Attire 1 8

I think I’m driving myself a bit mad 😞 I got married last year and although we had a wonderful day, I just have the biggest dress regret that I can’t seem to get over. My dress seemed ok at the fitting, but on the day it seemed to bag and fold above my waist, getting worse as the day went on. Especially when sat down. And when I got the photos that’s all I can see! Now I don’t want ANY photos in the house and my poor husband I think is worried I have a problem with being married, as I can’t stand to look at any of them or even talk about our day! I know I’m being obsessive and there’s nothing I can do, but any suggestions as to how I stop being so self absorbed and just move on? I think as it was my second wedding I just wanted to look nice, especially for my kids, and I just feel so disappointed and embarrassed ☹️ I’ve attached some pics with the problem area circled in one..

    Seriously?!!! I'm kind of hoping that this is a joke post, and you're really just wanting to share how beautiful you looked on your wedding day, but on the off-chance you really mean it...

    With my nose 2 inches from the screen, I still can't see this 'problem area' you're talking about. You look stunning in every single photo.

    Do you usually suffer from a tendency to perfectionism? It's really sad that you can't see how lovely you look, and seriously, if this 'dress regret' is bothering you to this extent a whole year after your wedding, then please seek some professional therapy asap. You don't have to live like this. It's having a detrimental effect on you and your husband, and I bet it's also affecting everyone else who cares about you, because if you can't even bear to talk about your wedding or look at wedding photos, it's going to be pretty hard to hide that from anyone close to you. It's so sad that this is spoiling your early months of married life.

    You say that you are upset at how you looked because you wanted to look nice for your kids. Can I gently suggest that your kids would probably far rather have a mother who was able to accept herself for the beautiful woman she is and be able to celebrate her wedding - including her wedding photos - than to have a mother who is worried about an all-but-invisible flaw in her wedding dress.

    Those photos are absolutely stunning! If I look half as beautiful in my wedding photos as that, I'll be more than happy!! Like the other person who replied, I wonder if you have perfectionist tendencies? I do a lot of graphic design at work, and I'm forever unhappy with little details that don't turn out the way I want - and that's all I cam see I'm the work! But seriously, literally no one else notices them at all, and couldn't care less about them if I point them out. Ive learnt (over years) not to obsess as much over less-than-perfect details. Can you maybe be kind to yourself, and acknowledge the amazing photos and how wonderful you look, and deliberately blank out the small part of the dress you don't like? (I also onestly can't see what you mean, and I'm betting no one else will either, and even if they do they 100% won't care or think badly of it. x

    I am also really unsure what you mean by it being baggy? This fits your figure perfectly and you look absolutely amazing! I know we can all pick at things when it comes to ourselves but your dress fitter has done an amazing job!

    I can’t tell if you’re being serious because I have studied these pictures and have no clue what you’re talking about…

    Hi! Have you considered to get professional help? It’s beyond the usual to be this hang on on how your dress fits a year after the wedding, and looking at the pictures you truly look gorgeous. Maybe you have a case of dismorfia or something similar. Go make an appointment with a psychologist or with your GP for a referral to a psychiatrist. Mental health is real, is important and you deserve to feel happy and find joy.
