    It was the LAST one I tried on (and I tried on a LOT!).  Just got home, everything's settling in and I'm wondering if it's too plan, or not "wedding" dress-y enough.  Maybe I need something more romantic?

    If you are having any doubts, it's probably not the one. There are a ton of dress regret posts on here, and you don't want to be one of them!

    I think it is gorgeous and to me is romantic and timeless. It was your first day out, think about it for a few days and then go back and try it again or others. I think you will know if it is right. What kind of wedding are you having? What is the feel you are going for?

    I think you should keep looking until you are 100% sure and don't need to ask us :-). Go to a couple more stores. You can always come back to this dress if you still like it best!

    I agree that you shouldn't rush into it if you're not sure.  But with that said, I love the dress and think its definitely bridal - in fact it reminds me a bit of my own dress :)

    This is a pretty dress! It's very modern and elegant. Many people say that the dress is usually one of the first ones that they try on...You should try a few more on to see if you get that feeling again or if you find yourself comparing all other dresses to this one :)

    It's definitely not too plain and it is definitely "wedding dress-y." But if you have any doubts about it, it may not be the one. I would keep looking and if you still love it after trying on similar styles (or different styles) then you know it's right for you. I would try on similar styles that have more to them because you seem concerned that the dress is too plain. You should feel like a bride in it. ;)

    I think it is elegant and definitely looks like a wedding dress. It's not terrible to buy a dress the first time you go shopping...I did!

    I think its beautiful! What is the style and setting of your wedding? That always helps when determining if it is "your" dress

    The dress is beautiful! I would try on more, you might end up going back to this dress but at least you will know what else is out there!

    A stunning dress! As someone who suffers from dress regret, explore all your options before you commit. Even if this is the one, if you don't try on more, you might always wonder if there was something out there that was better.

    were you looking for something with beading all over the dress, is that why you felt this dress is too plain? i think this dress is very elegant, but just like everyone else is saying, don't buy it if you are not satisfied with it.

    If you have doubts then I agree it's not the one and I speak from experience.
