yes and yes do you suggest getting it out of the house...oh man I don''t know if it is because I have doubts about the dress or maybe it is because I am losing it hahaha
I agree with the other ladies. Sometimes having it too long in advance makes you second guess your decision. Happened to me many many years ago with my prom dress
I have the same problem. I went with a non-traditional dress and lately, I''ve been thinking over and over again whether or not I''d want to change my dress. I''m trying not to think/dwell on it at all.
I picked my dress out of a magazine...it was the first (and pretty much only) dress I actually tried on. I ordered it that day, on the spot, no comparison shopping or sleeping on it whatsoever. And, to top it off, I ordered it in August and didn''t see it again until April...I had mildly forgotten what it even looked like.
I worried about all the things brides do...would it fit, was it still my style, had I been to impulsive????
Even when I did see the gown again, in the tacky bridal-salon lighting, on dusty old green carpet, with my hair down and not a lick of makeup on...I cried my eyes out..but not in a good way. I was sick. In that instant, I felt like I had made a huge, nasty mistake. Oh, and I stabbed myself with a straight pin during the fitting and bleed all over the gown, too!!
But, flash forward to my wedding day...
In the end...I still loved it. It was still beautiful, and special and all the other things a wedding gown should be. With my hair done, my tiara and vail perfectly in place, my jewelry on, and my friends and family bursting at the seams with joy, anticipation and excitement. But, that doesn''t mean those other feelings didn''t exist. It was a huge deal, very expensive and uber important...but the variable made a big difference.
If I were you (and I was) I would simple relax and trust yourself...the dress you''re seeing now isn''t the same dress you''ll see when you''re really wearing it as it should be worn.
If I were you, I''d relax and trust yourself. Obviously you loved it enough to order it, and I''m sure
Allie - I would get it out of the house, to a place that''s safe of course. I kept mine at my sister''s house in a closet that she hardly uses.
What Diamond Confused said is right on...having it so long in advance doesn''t help (I had mine about 10 months). The thought that I might end up not liking it once I saw it again crossed my mind several times. But I stopped going to bridal salons and looking at dresses, and told myself I was done dress shopping, which also freed me to concentrate on other things. And in the meantime, I kept on going to the gym and did whatever beauty routines I could to make sure I would end up feeling as good about myself as possible.
And like Italia said, the day of...well, I loved the dress, it was beautiful. Once the hair is done, the makeup, the nails, and you''re just in that moment, you''ll love it.
That''s normal, hon! I didn''t have my dress at home until the day before the wedding, and thank goodness because I probably would have tried it on repeatedly and had the same problem.
Do your parents have a closet in their home that would work?
its like this it hangs in my closet and i am like ehhh i dont really like it...but maybe i will try it on. I put it on and am like oooooh i really like it so i put it away, and repeat the same thinking over and over.
Oh boy I dont know what I would do if it didnt fit right now my feelings are do I want to go with something more glitzy with beading and a stapless neckline or stick with my dress thats off the shoulder and no beads....
