Okay, so this is a little embarrassing.
I had completely ruled out wearing my Ella Rosa BE123, but just for a final "confirmation" that I am going to sell it, I sent FI photos of several dresses, to get his general opinion on styles, etc.
He didn't know that one of the photos was of the dress, and his comments were: "Meh, nothing special" and "I hate the way that it's so straight and has no shape past the hips."
It sucked, but at least it gave me the "closure" I needed to know that I can sell the dress now and move on. (I've been struggling with dress shopping and hating it now that I feel totally confused about what I like and what looks good on me.)
Once I filled FI in on the whole thing, he told me not to sell the dress yet, to let him see it in person at least (nothing to lose since mind was made up to sell.) He's five hours away right now and I got impatient, so I sent him a video from when I picked up the dress (Uploaded to Photobucket here.)
(Don't mind the awkwardness and the nerdy way too big flower in my hair!!)
So, FI watches the video, then sends me a text saying: "You look beautiful. Keep it!"
He says it looks totally different in the video/when it moves than when it is still. Also says the fit looks right (I keep thinking it's too fitted in the bum and too mermaid-y).
SOOO. Now I don't know what to do. Keep looking at dresses? Stop and keep this one, even though FI has seen it now?
I still have my reservations about the fit and shape on me, but feel exhausted by this whole process and almost just want to have it over with.
What would you do??
Keep it!
It was such a small and short video, he really won't have seen any of the details of it, plus on the day you'll have your hair and makeup done and to be honest he'll probably forget all about he video when he sees you walk down the isle!
I think you look AMAZING in that dress. He's right, it looks totally different in video than in a still photo. Keep it!!!
I think the dress looks amazing on you. But it's really up to you and how you feel in the dress. If you aren't smiling from ear to ear, then you should sell it. He'll think you're beautiful in whatever you wear. You need to feel beautiful about you!
I love this gown on you but you are the one that has to feel beautiful in it, if you decide you cannot live with it just sit down with the FI and tell him that you love that he loves it but you want to feel like the most gorgeous woman in the world on the day and this dress just doesnt make you feel that way. Good luck and keep us updated!
You look stunning in the dress! Your FI will not remember the details, just that you looked amazing. Keep the dress.
If YOU have doubts about the dress and feel self conscious about how you look in it, then the dress isnt for you. I think you look great but nothing anyone on this board can say is going to make YOU love the dress. Take some time to really think about how you want to look and feel the day of your wedding and then, if you decide that this dress is the one, keep it. If you still have "dress regret" start looking again. Good luck :-)
i think you look amazing in the dress, but if it doesnt feel right; go with your gut!
OMG that dress is amazing on you!!!I vote keep, but YOU have to feel beautiful in your dress.
Lady, you are rocking the gown. You're the only one who can decide, but you look exquisite.
I agree with those who say you look beautiful, but that if you don't feel comfortable, happy, and yourself in it, then it's not a good match. There are tons of dresses out there that will show off your figure. If you keep in mind that your FI liked that about it, then you can keep looking and find one that you love. In the end, he'll think you look stunning no matter what.
LOL no wonder he loves it - your bum is the first thing he sees in that video, sashaying away :) You were born to wear it; from the back to the front - You look absolutely fantastic, and this is before alterations? Seriously, keep it - and think of it this way - he will be begging to see you in it again ;) and will be actually looking forward to it!
Wow...you look absolutely beautiful in that dress!!! My 100% honest opinion...it is a jaw dropper!!!
sorry whats wrong with this dress?
who cares if he saw it.. he likes it now that he saw you in it
this dress is sooo nice
keep it!
Thanks for your comments, ladies. I keep going back-and-forth on this dress, and it’s driving me insane. On one hand, I feel I picked it for a reason, and I do love the simple elegance of it and am still drawn to dresses that look almost similar to it when I go shopping for a replacement. On the other hand, I feel that there are so many things I am unsatisfied with, such as: the fit around the bum, the shiny satin fabric, the lack of a “Wow” factor and just feeling so..naked, almost, in it, LOL. I also feel like I want to have my hair up, and feel like this is a “hair down” dress. What a crazy situation, but ultimately I want to feel comfortable and confident on my day, and I’m still debating whether this dress will do that. I’ll keep you posted
It looks beautiful and makes your figure look great- what if you added a crystal sash for a "wow" factor?
Um...your body looks INSANE in that dress! It is so perfect for you. Guys seriously do not see things like we do.
Personally I'd say keep it. That dress looks like it was made for you! I think if you want the wow factor then look at the accessories that you put with it - like a crystal belt, necklace, earrings, bracelet.
As for your hair, what about a compromise and doing 1/2 up 1/2 down? I do think you could still do an up-do as well if that's what you want.
The dress is beautiful and looks amazing on you, but I voted sell the dress. You had already made up your mind to sell it, it obviously is not THE ONE. Your FI will think you look beautiful in any dress.
You need to find the dress that makes you speechless and that you'd never sell.
I think you look really beautiful in the dress, but you're the one who has to wear it. Your fiance will think you look beautiful no matter what you get, so don't let that make your decision for you.
omg I LOVE it!!! this is the type of dress I hope to wear on my wedding day. It's very flattering and hugs all the right curves!!
It. is. stunning !! You look fabulous in it !
But honey, if you dont love it I say keep looking ! You should feel perfect on your big day :)
I say keep it as back up for now and keep looking. If you've ever watched David Tutera, you know there will be a dress out there that you cannot live without. Also, try accessorizing with it and see if that makes a difference.
you look amazing in this dress, but the it sounds like you are just not happy with it, and if you are not happy, you won't feel your best on your wedding day. i would keep looking until you find something you are happier with and when you do, sell this one.
Holy crap this is why boys shouldn't be involved in wedding dress picking....you look stunning!!!!!
The dress looks fantastic on you, very flattering: plus you have the reassurance that your FI likes it too. Keep it!
