    OH NO!!! I cannot seem to get another dress out of my mind..ugh! while i love my Winnie Couture dress, i cannot for the life of me get this other one out of my mind! I had it ready to try it on and i did not for some reason..ugh so now i am seriously contemplating heading to the bridal store and buying this other one!!! ahh..can i be one of those 2 dress brides? Did you have dress regret and how did it turn out? Did you suck it up and forget about the other one or followed your gut and went after the other one?

    Here is the culprit...

    What's your first dress look like? Is there any harm in trying the other one on? Maybe you won't like it as much on you?

    If your staring at the photo you attached, please remember that your seeing it on someone elses body.  You may not have chosen it because it was not the right one for your body.

    I think you should stick with the dress you have!  It looks beautiful on you and it's basically the same.  You could ask a seamstress about doing some beading under the bustline if you wanted a little sparkle.

    The dress you have is HOT!

    The "crumb catcher"--style of the other dress is more of a risk. It may actually look weird on you. Actually, that means there is probably no harm trying it on.

    I'm with the others. You are rocking the dress you have!! I think it's worth it to try the other one on. It'll help you realize your true love is your current dress (hopefully). ;)

    I think your dress is gorgeous and it looks perfect on you!  I like it much better than the Wtoo dress, but that may be because I am not a big fan of "crumb catcher" necklines.  I think you should stick with the one you have because you made a great choice on it!

    I love the dress you bought! It's beautiful and looks great on you! I think you should keep it. The Wtoo dress is gorgeous but I love the Winnie Couture dress.

    I wasn't in love with my first dress and happen to accidentally find the second one and fell in love! Its the one I wore on my wedding day.

    I like the dress you have a lot better. The other one looks inda off. Maybe I'm not a fan of the bust, but it's your call if you want to try it on! = )

    I didn't see your dress originally, but it's a gorgeous dress!  Try to stay with it!

    I love your original dress. I actually tried on the WTOO dress and while I liked it, I thought it didn't do much for my shape and didn't really have a train - which is what I wanted. I don't think there is any harm in trying on the other dress though. Good luck!

    I think that the dress you originall bought is much nicer! It's a more flattering style, too (I think). I know all about dress regret, and I feel your pain, but rest assured that you made the right choice!

    Personally I think the dress you have is GORGEOUS...the other dress...not so much...but that's just my opinion.  I seem to remember you saying something about a MIL not liking your dress choice.  Is that what's swaying your decision?

    Ilove the straps of your original dress. And the drop down waist is lovely on you.

    I can totally relate to your dress dilemma. I also had the dress regret.  My biggest mistake was actually buying the "culprit" dress. Ughhhh!!! When my original dress came after like 6 months of ordering, it was so lovely!!! Even better than my culprit dress.  So now, I'm stuck with two dresses, I'm way over my dress budget, and I still have alterations to think about.  The issue with my case was that I couldn't return my first dress so I had to buy it. Oh well... :)

    Good luck to you!

    So i broke down and went to see if she still had the dress in the store. It is an "off the rack "dress because the boutique owner is not selling that brand anymore so it is priced at $99. Anyway.. I FRIGGIN LOVED IT!!!! It reminded me of the Pronovias Genova (which i tried on way before the Winnie and loved but was totally out of my price range.). It fit well and i felt good in it. I did not know how to explain it. It felt like it was easy to be in the dress. The color was Ecru and it looked really pretty on my skin tone. I actually felt like a bride in it. So what's a girl to do? I went home and i cleaned my car out, did some laundry and thought on it some more. I texted my mom some pictures of it and then headed back to the store and bought it. I actually bought it! I figured, at 99 dollars, i could afford to have that second dress and compare and contrast right?

    Oh..and a very good thing! It will not need to be altered! the length and size fit me perfect! I guess i will have until Sept, which is when i would have to get alterations started, to decide. But i am positive this is the one!

    Well now you just have to post a picture of yourself in the new dress!  Anyway what if you make your previous dress the "trash" dress?  Do you have any messy places you want to get pictures taken (like on a beach or in the pouring rain)?
