    I am having doubts about my dress! I love the way it looks on the model and I loved it in person, but I've been nervous lately about how it looks on me when i see myself in pics. I think these may just not be the best photos? It stinks because before I took it to NC from Boston I could just peek into it's bag in the closet to reassure myself, but now it's much worse! Will you ladies give me your opinions!?  Thanks so much!

    To be honest...I am completely in love with your dress and it looks amazing on you! I would not comment if it didn't so trust me, you have NOTHING to worry about :) Your doubts are completely normal, esp since you don't have the dress with you, but really, you look amazing! Your dress is totally timeless!

    Ok I don't know where your doubts are coming from but you look STUNNING in the gown and it's GORGEOUS!! I really love it and it looks lovely on you, like it was made for you and it just gives you a beautiful shape! It's normal to have doubts about your dress, it's a huge purchase and a big part of your wedding! I felt them but what really helped was reassurance from my mom and going back to try the dress on again. I immediately felt better and fell in love all over again. I definitely suggest going back and trying your dress on, it'll make you feel so much better!

    I love it, love the details and love you in it!! Don't fret!! *hugs*!!!

    You look beautiful! I would stop looking at the pictures! Just try to remember how you felt in the dress, that's what is most important. I'm kind of going through the same thing right now. Everything was fine until I started studying the pictures of me in the dress. Ugh... You are going to look amazing on your big day, don't worry!

    I was prepared to read this and reassure you that I had doubts when I got my dress, and got a new one 2 weeks before our wedding (I did!) and that if you don't love it you should do the same...

    But I have to say you look beautiful and that dress is so flattering!  Make sure YOU feel good on your big day since that's the most important thing, but you really just look stunning.  Your dress is unique, and you're going to be a beautiful, happy bride.

    It's pretty... I like the details.  It makes you look like a bride :) Not every wedding dress makes the lovely lady wearing it look like a bride... you know we have all seen ladies try on dresses that just look like fancy dresses. When a girl finds the one she looks like a bride. So even if you feel weird looking at the pictures instead of having the gown with you for reassurance, look at these comments instead to get you through it. I bet if you could just go and try it back on again you would feel better.

    I haven't picked my gown yet but what you are going through seems like a pretty common problem (at least in my circle of friends) and it will pass :) You will reclaim that feeling that inspired you to buy it in the first place the next time you get to visit it. 

    P.S. the lace on the bottom is my favorite part :) I think that's why I haven't chosen a dress yet, because I can't find a pretty one with that element. Who makes your dress?

    Okay, your dress is BEAUTIFUL and looks incredible on you! Please don't have any doubts!!!  You look SO happy in it!

     

    And which store is that?  Just wondering because it looks a lot like Kleinfeld but you said it's in Boston.

    Couldn't agree more with everyone, you look great in this dress!  Lighting is everything in pictures.  I've noticed that unless you have a professional grade camera and flash, it's hard to fill the room with enough light to photograph what our eyes see inside the salon.

    With this many bees a buzz about you looking gorgeous, I hope it helps you minimize your doubts!

    i think your dress is beautiful in and of itself and most certaintly fits you perfectly!?

    what brought this on? was it not what you had originally had in mind?

    i say take a break and don't look at the dress or pics or anything for a few weeks and see how you feel about it then!
