    Maybe you could say more about why you're having dress regret? Just looking at the pictures, I think the dress is really beautiful on you. But without more information, I'm not sure we can be helpful in deciding whether or not you should get a new dress.

    It's normal to have dress regret.  I had it bad too!  I continued to look at dresses, which was a horrible mistake...but the more I tried on my dress, which was honestly only 3 or 4 times, including fittings, I loved it more.  After awhile, you will accept that you picked it for a reason :)

    @DarleneP:  Is there anything about it in particular you don't like?  I was worried about certain things with mine, which is why I was having regret, but I altered my dress to the way I wanted it and that helped A TON!

    What kind of dresses are you seeing that you think you  might like more?  Are the styles a lot different than what you already have?

    Aww thanks everyone :)

     

    @cherrycoke: I guess its because the bow on the side and I feel like my hips might look too big in this dress... When I get it altered I might ask them to put something in place of the bow and see if I like it better. Also Im getting a corset put in the back instead of a zipper. I guess im going to stick with it. I know I will love it when I put it back on and have everything on all together lol.

    @DarleneP: Trust me your hips do NOT look too big in the dress.  It looks great!  Plus with the corset added, it will feel more like your dress.  What would you put in place of the bow?  A brooch or something? That would look pretty!

    @cherrycoke: Aww thank you im glad you dont think my hips look big lol! Yea I feel it will fit me like a glove etc if I get a corset back. Plus my boobs arent too big so that will boost them up haha. Yea instead of the bow I would put a brooch. I gotta see if I like it with or without when we go to do my alterations. Thanks for talking with me and helping me out :)

    I'm a different size but of similar proportions and I've often found that when I look at my hips in fitted things I think they look huge, but it's really just that I have a small waist. I've found that it helps me to stand back a bit and take in the entire picture, instead of just focusing on the one part. It's always going to appear bigger in your mind when you're staring right at it and shutting all the other parts out.

    I think you should keep the dress. You (and your hips!) look fabulous.

    Your hips do not look big! In fact, if you had slimmer hips the  dress would look too boxy on you. It's gorgeous. Stop looking!

    It's really the bow on mine too that just doesn't sit right with my style... I love the dress but just wanted something that I cant wear but on my wedding day!:) In the Navy I wore tight dresses like this style every year for the Hospital Corpsman ball,so I want a princess dress!!!

    I think you look beautiful in it. It is very slimming on you. The first thing I noticed was how small it makes your waist look.Good luck! Your going to make a gorgesous bride!

    Oh honey, if all you're worried about is your hips, then you don't need to worry at all! You look so stunning in that dress, and your hips don't look big at all! You waist looks teeny tiny, and your hips look like those of a beautiful grown woman! Don't second guess yourself. And don't look at any more dresses. :)
