I don't think that you would have ANY trouble selling it if you end up changing your mind and going with the cocktail dress. However, if you are having the dress bustled, I really don't think that it is &quot;too much&quot; or really all that dressy at all. It's not big and poofy and there isn't a lot of bling stuff on it so I think that you will be fine. </p> <p>Definitely trust your instincts and do what will make YOU happy. If you want the cocktail dress and that is more of your style then go for it!!! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/dress-anxiety-3#post-248804 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 20:32:34 +0000 Ms Mini 248804@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I LOVE the allure dress (it is the one I think I will end up buying) I think it is awesome. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/dress-anxiety-3#post-248798 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 20:15:49 +0000 august15bride 248798@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I absolutely love that Allure dress. If I had found it before I bought mine, it probably would be my dress! It is gorgeous and so classic. It is completely natural to have second thoughts. Heaven knows I have! :) </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/dress-anxiety-3#post-248785 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 19:32:52 +0000 MrsWoohoo 248785@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>The allure dress is gorgeous! But if you don't feel comfortable in it, maybe you should talk it out with your mom and see if you could wear the BCBG dress during the recption. It's definitely a dress you could wear again (unlike the Allure). Either way, I'm sure you'll look beautiful. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/dress-anxiety-3#post-248714 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 16:22:33 +0000 mismikado 248714@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I think you should definitely consider have 2 dresses and you can always sell the allure one after the wedding. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/dress-anxiety-3#post-248657 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 13:33:10 +0000 baffled111 248657@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone. I really do love the Allure dress, but it is SOOO dressy. I know it will look beautiful though. Much of my problem is with the train. I think trains are kind of stupid (no offense to those who like them!!) and I wanted to have the seamstress remove it, but it was going to be far too expensive. So it's being bustled which isn't really the line I would like and etc, etc. </p> <p>Still, the more I think about it, the more I think I should look for a little reception cocktail dress. I can't imagine spending a whole night dancing and carousing in that giant dress. It just seems, um, over-indulgent to have 2 dresses for a relatively small and informal wedding.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks again for the help. :)&nbsp; </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/dress-anxiety-3#post-248645 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 12:32:51 +0000 trailmix 248645@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Ooh, another option...if you can somehow afford both, you could wear the BCBG one to your rehearsal dinner! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/dress-anxiety-3#post-248643 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 12:29:13 +0000 coralray24 248643@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Everyone has dress anxiety, but usually the first choice is the best...I think looking back through the photos you would be happier with a more formal dress.&nbsp; The BCBG dress is cute, but I think the Allure is better. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/dress-anxiety-3#post-248641 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 12:23:15 +0000 mandalee0624 248641@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I loveeeeeee the Allure gown and think you should stick w/ it for the ceremony and pictures, which last forever (unless you're okay w/&nbsp;all of&nbsp;your&nbsp;wedding photos&nbsp;of you in a non-formal gown).&nbsp;Then, for your reception change into the dress you feel expresses you best! BUT!... either way, do not end up regretting the decision! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/dress-anxiety-3#post-248630 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 11:37:31 +0000 hhcheung2000 248630@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Trust me...all girls have dress anxiety.&nbsp; I honestly bought another dress and really regretted it because the first dress I initially bought turned out 100 times better than the second dress.&nbsp; Now I think I'll have to sell the second one.&nbsp; But it took $1000 to realize that!</p>
