Hey everyone,
My wedding is so close, and I’m suddenly doubting my dress choice. I had my final fitting today, and I just… don’t love it. I don’t know why I didn’t realize this sooner, but now I feel like I picked the wrong style for my body.
I have more of an athletic build—straight waist, broad shoulders—and I chose a mermaid-style dress with a deep V neckline and delicate beading. When I first tried it on, I loved how elegant it looked. But after the alterations (taking in the bodice, adjusting the straps, hemming), I feel like it’s just too fitted. Instead of enhancing my shape, it makes me look boxy, and the neckline suddenly feels too revealing. I had envisioned something soft and effortless, and now I feel like I’m squeezed into a dress that doesn’t feel like me.
I mentioned it to my tailor, and she’s trying to let out the seams a bit for a more relaxed fit, but I’m scared it won’t make enough of a difference. Now I’m spiraling—should I just grab a different dress last minute and go with it as is? Or am I overthinking and just in wedding panic mode?
Anyone else had dress regrets this close to the big day? What did you do?
