What was your old dress? Just curious! Also, what did you not like about it? I fell in love with too many dresses... a part of me, thinks many of them could have been the one! ;)
I am glad you found something you love - congrats - it's beautiful!
@gibbysgirl21--Here's the old dress...I know what you mean about every dress seeming like the one. Its like buying a house, you have to buy and then not look at anything else. I think in this case tho I just went with something that was so plain that it just didn't feel special.

Drastic, drastic improvement! I'm so happy for you and I know you'll look fabulous in that sexy Galina gown!
I think they are both beautiful gowns, but very different in style. I am glad to hear you have a gown you love wearing.
Love your new dress! I have a Galina gown too! I think they are so romantic but sexy too!!
Congrats on your new dress! I did the same thing you did and was SO glad I got a new dress.
I was totally miserable with the custom-made dress I had made; it turned out horribly and I cried when I got it. Luckily, like you I found a dress that was perfect for me and oh what a difference it made. I love the new dress you bought!
I love your new dress!! Great decision! The old one - wow, I don't think I have ever seen so many pickups!
Congrats on finding a dress that you love!!! It is really beautiful :)
The Galina dress is beautiful! Glad you found a dress that makes you happy :)
Your new dress is so pretty! I'm glad you found something you love :)
Love the new one and happy you found one that is meaningful to you. I just did the same thing too :)
Gorgeous dress! I love the second one and am glad that you followed your instincts and found something you feel truly special in.
love the new dress! you're going to knock his socks off!! definitely try selling the first one, or donating it (tax write off!!)
Thanks for all the support...I was feeling guilty about spending the extra money but now I am just so excited about the new dress!
I didn't try on any trumpet style dresses initially and this is is a perfect example of why you should try a lot of different styles.
Congratz on your new dress! It is by far waaay better :) If that was me, I probably wouldn't have money to buy a second one. You're lucky :)
I can understand the guilt of buying a second dress, but you are so thrilled with the new one so I'm sure it was worth it! Congrats!
Yay! Congratulations! I'm glad you went with your gut. I was in the same situation before our wedding. I had purchased a gown-gown, thinking that's just what I had to do. After being emersed in the wedding industry a bit more, I realized I didn't have to wear a gown just because I was getting married. It was beautiful and I loved it, but I didn't feel like me at all. I ended up purchasing a tea-length B< dress in white, and when I put it on, I breathed a sigh of relief because I knew it was my dress. I know how amazing it feels :)
They're both pretty, but I am glad you went with the one that makes you happiest!

Ever since I picked up my dress from the alterations I have been sick to my stomach knowing that it wasn't the right dress. I tried it on again two days ago and just knew I was going to be unhappy if I didn't do something about it.
So today I see this Galina trumpet dress 50% off on Davids bridal. It was love at first sight. It is curvy and sexy and exactly what I had envisioned.
I was a little worried that FI would be mad bc he really wasn't understanding when I told him that I didn't like my first dress but he was incredibly calm when I told him I bought the new one today.
