Hmmm... the picture is all messed up in the link that you provided for some reason. do you have a picture of you in the dress. Lots of us had dress jitters and made it through :)
If the beading on the top of the dress bothers you that much, I think that it's great that the shop is willing to take it off free of charge...
I can't help with the train decision, but having the beading removed seems like a simple choice. I would hate to have something on my dress that bothered me THAT much, it would be all that I would obsess over...
If it's in your budget to do so, it might be the best idea to go with option #1 and choose a new dress. Try to negotiate the 'restocking' fee down to 15% or 10%. There seem to be too many things you don't like about your dress. But as DG pointed out - lots of bees have had major dress jitters and everything worked out fine.
Oh, I am totally freaking out. But my dress is custom sized and on the higher side of 5K, not to mention my wedding is next Sunday, so I just have to suck it up cause there isn't any turning back now!
I just keep reminding myself that I chose it for a reason and that no matter what I had picked, I would be doubting it until the last minute because that is who I am.
I say take option 1 if it will ease your stress. But be prepared that you might regret your second choice just as much.
i'm going to go back to the store, with my gown in tow and try on my dress again, and then the wedding gown version. i do love the fit of the dress, i just want the beads gone and i want a train.
What if you could get a cathedral length veil? Then you would have that train effect, without having to alter the dress. I think the idea of taking the beading off is a good one, if you like the fit, the details are changable!
I don't know how a detachable train would look, but if it looks nice, I say go for it! I think some people just second guess their decisions, I have a friend like that. Anything she gets, she is going to second guess it. Take pictures when you go back, I bet you look beautiful in it!
I was thinking the same as mskalinin, a cathedral veil might be the ticket!

i am still cursing say yes to the dress as the show has since made me question my dress choice. but a few other things have also contributed to that.
i've always wanted a plain dress with minimal beading. for those that have seen my dress you know there is beading on the top part of it and on the sides. i can handle the sides as that looks very cute, but the top i was asking the whole time while trying it on can i oder it with out can it be custom done? and was told oh dont worry we'll take it off for you blah blah blah! i got the grad dress version as i though i'd rather that because of our wedding dress location being a camp ground and there being dirt trails to the buildings.
since i got my dress in august, its in the basement, and watching the show, and hearing from my fiance what he doesnt want me to have, i had a full on mental break down about my dress for two days straight... and poor fiance got to deal with most of it. i ended up sending an email to the company the makes my dress, and an email to the bridal store telling them i am having dress doubts, concerns, etc.
i got an email back today from the bridal store. they emailed me back with three options:
1) bring my dress back in, they charge a 20% restocking fee of what i paid for my dress... the remainder would be free to go towards another gown.
2) they will take the beads off free of charge for me.
3) buying fabric and they will make me a detachable train.
HELP! i am really feeling that i want a dress with a chapel length train, and a dress without beads. has anyone on here had a detachable train made or come with their dress... photos please. my concern about just getting the beads taken off the dress icurrently have is that there may be little holes all over the front from where the beading was sowen on. if i go with returning my gown and getting the wedding dress versioni can order it without the beading on the top.
suggestions, comments, people that are calming by nature who can help me to thing straight again are all welcome.
has anyone else been through a similar dress melt down.
the top gown is the wedding dress version. the bottom one is the grad dress verion that i got.
