It looks like it was made for you... It's hard to see it the whole thing based on the angle and the veil... but I love the neckline on you!
I thinking I'm having a case of the watch too many wedding shows, seen to many show stopper dresses, complex. I like the fact that just by luck, I chose a dress that had the same lace as my mother's veil. She found her veil three months after I purchased my dress, mailed it to me just as a joke. I had it restored and added a blusher veil something that was important to my groom. I did have the neckline changed to the heart. This is what it looked like before

Let's see those doubting bride dresses, I'm sure everyone looks great in their dresses, and seeing you all look fantastic well make me feel better knowing you can have doubts, but look good at the same time.
I think you look great in that dress! It's gorgeous! Does it have a sash or am I seeing things? How long do you have until your wedding? Personally, I would keep it and wear it and but if you're not happy, do you have time to at least try on a few other styles? Sometimes that can help bc it makes you realize that NO, your dress is the right dress....Good luck!
PS- My name's Mara too! I don't meet too many of us :)
Here's how I feel about finding the dress. I definitely had that moment of "this is THE ONE' and was glowing (according to my mom) when I walked out to show her. I love my dress.
Now with that being said, you should like your dress. If you're not feeling it maybe you should look into another?? Did you purchase this already?
Also why are you having doubts? What is it about the dress that is making you feel this way?
I think you look great in the dress but can I be honest? I think the veil is a bit overpowering and it takes away from your dress. Just my opinion. The dress is gorgeous and should be the focal point.
Let us know what you do. I'm interested to find out.
the dress and veil are both gorgeous - i have to admit the veil shows better in the picture you attached. i have to echo stephin tho - the veil is so gorgeous it might overwhelm the dress a bit.
What I can see it looks great on you! And the link you sent it does look so pretty. I love lace dresses! I think everyone goes through dress doubt maybe not a lot but in the back of your mind you wonder. I didn't have that moment either but I know they dress I have is my dress and I love it so much!
But if you are doubting yourself a lot and it doesn't feel right then maybe it isn't. Go try on some more dress!
Good luck and let us know!
I think the dress looks great! We all have doubts. Especially after you buy your dress and you see so many other dresses. I didn't have an overwhelming feeling that my dress was the "one" but I loved it and it flattered me and it was in my price range.
I love it...the veil is gorgeous too!! You know, I'm a pretty emotional person (cry all the time at movies or sappy stuff on tv) so when I was going dress shopping I was sure I was going to cry when I found THE ONE, but I didn't!! Instead I kept jumping up and down (in the dress) saying this was it!! I continued to try on more dresses but I kept going back to THE ONE. So when I put it on again, I just knew...no tears just a huge smile and leg workout (lots of jumping). No one I was with cried either, they all just knew too! So don't sweat it...if you love it just go with it!!
I know I'm not going to buy another dress. I think the dress suit's my personality, but I don't feel its a "wow" dress. Thanks everyone for your help. If anything I might try to see what it looks like with a crinoline, maybe to add some wow. Anyone use one under a simple lace dress like mine? It would obviously have to be a mermaid or trumpet one.
As for the veil, I'm wearing it since it was my mothers. I have a birdcage veil for the reception that was the first veil I purchased before my mother found her's
I think doubt is totally normal especially after seeing all the gorgeous dresses in yours. You look phenomenal and the fact that you can wear your mother's veil makes it really meaningful. If you want, go try on other dresses. I did when I was having doubts and it made me realize my dress is the one.
The dress looks beautiful on you!
I hope the crinoline gives you the look you are hoping for!
It's hard to tell from this picture what the dress looks like on you, but from here it looks really nice to me! I think people are harping on the veil because it is a little overpowering. In my opinion, it all depends on the look you were going for. If you wanted a veil that would dress up the dress a little more and draw a lot of attention, you picked just right! If you were looking more for something to just give the dress a little accent, a veil is easier to swap out than an entire dress! Good luck!
From the other picture you posted, it really is a wow dress! Plus, with your mom's restored veil, I think you've got a really special ensemble! I should say that altering the neckline the way you did was a great idea.
The dress looks SO perfect on you!! It is totally normal to have doubts...I think many of us brides to be have gone through that. It's also okay not to have tears, fainting, etc when you tried on your gown...I think that is a myth that is overdone too (I think it's more of the exception that brides have that reaction). I hope that you feel better about your decision after reading how much everyone else on here loves your gown :)
Its soo beautiful and classic.. I had doubts too..I think its bound to happen with such an important purchase..you just have to say this is the one ands stop looking.
I LOVE it! I think it is really beautiful, and it looks fantastic on you.
I love your dress & your veil! It looks so stunning on you :)
IMO, finding the dress aka "the ONE" is the like the saying "living happily ever after". I think the saying is over used wayyy too much! The dress is absolutely beautiful on you (you look like a model in that dress!) & just because you didn't weep or fall apart doesn't mean its not perfect!!
You said it: on your wedding day it will be perfect! Doubts are normal... but again- you look like a million bucks! I want a dress like that & I've been so anti wedding gown shopping from day 1!
Who is it by?
Thanks everyone for your support. What has helped me feel better about my dress is that when I continue to look at dresses, I still feel this style is most me. I think I just got to wonder since it's not an over the top show stopping dress, but than again, thats not me.
BTW it's a San Patrick, and I got if for a steal at $510 for the sample.
It's lovely. I'm glad you feel better about the dress, and don't worry - "show stopping" or not, you'll get a lot of attention, it comes with being a bride. :)
I think it looks fantastic on you ! Don't doubt your choice.. You'll look beautiful!
I think it's a wow dress, but I also like the simple classy look. Wow as in that really is a great dress for her. I love simple and classic, and the sweetheart neckline with the hourglass waist is awesome, and it looks wonderful with the veil.
I think it looks amazing on you, doubs are always normal! I second Mrs. DG
I think that dress is beautiful and looks fantastic on you. If it helps, no one cried when I picked out my dress (myself included) and I never got that "OMG, this is The Dress" feeling. I just liked it when I had it on and felt comfortable and happy in it. I wasn't sure I made the right choice, but in seeing other dresses, I knew I had.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I guess it is normal to doubt your dress decision. I'm going through some major doubts and it doesn't help that no one has cried when I have worn my dress(including myself). I can decide if its really the dress or just that I'm not a tall model figure I'm used to see wearing dresses like mine.
When I bought my dress, I felt it was exactly what I pictured myself wearing. I didn't find it to be exceptionally flattering, didn't cry, or have "it's the one moment". Anyone else feel this way? I know come my wedding day it well all be perfect, but in the mean time am left with just some wonder.
It would also be great to see pictures of doubting brides dresses.
