    I purchased this dress very early on in the dress hunt.  I LOVED it when I tried it on, and loved how the dress made me feel.  Now I keep looking at pictures and over-analyzing every little detail.  It is making me worry if I bought "the" dress.  What do you think hive?  Has anyone gone through a similar situation where they LOVED a dress only to have second thoughts months later?  Is the stress of the wedding just making me overreact? Nervous about my dress choice.  What do you think hive? :  wedding wedding dress Dress1

    I love the dress and I think you look great, but I might remove the flowers along the bust. Just to keep it a bit cleaner since the bottom is so detailed.

    You need to stop stressing about it.... honestly, you look great in that dress.  Stop looking at other dresses, stop over analyzing yourself in this dress.... it's amazing!  Don't look back or think twice about it.

    Ooooh it's so pretty! I love it! Don't worry, I do the same thing with my dress. I love it while it's on, but then I start overthinking and nit picking at the photos, etc. Just trust your gut instinct when you bought it!

    Thanks guys!  You are making me feel much better. 

    I've never had any doubts while it was on, but sometimes having pictures to look at is a bad thing as you can analyze every tiny detail!

    I think 80% of us go through this. I can totally understand because I'm experiencing dress regret as well. However, I think you choice is elegant, fun and looks beautiful on you! It's a stunner, KEEP IT!

    I think it looks fabulous. If you'd like to simplify it a bit you might consider removing the flowers at the bust. If you don't like it without the flowers you can always by a floral sash. With or without it, it's still fantastic.

    Awww...I really like your dress! It's so fun and unique with so much personality! :)

    What you are going through is normal. It is the reason why there are so many dress polls and why so many Bees vote. We are constantly hunting then nitpicking our own.

    A lot of women go through this

    The best way NOT to have dress regret is to STOP looking at other dresses and periodically go try on the sample again. I bet you fall in love all over again when you try it on again!

    Your dress is gorgeous I LOVE IT!

    First, it is beautiful and you look amazing!

    Second, I need to tell you something.  Every girl goes through this.  You will once again love your dress when you stop looking at wedding magazines, stop watching wedding TV shows (HELLO SAY YES TO THE DRESS!), stop looking at posts of other girls in their wedding dresses, and stop thinking about the dress portion.  Once you stop thinking about the dress and start concentrating on everything else, you will fall in love with your dress again AFTER you are done with the final fitting.

    I think your dress is beautiful and flatters your figure perfectly!  I would stop overanalyzing your pictures.  I did the same thing with my dress and was literally on the verge of hating it, but when I went to fitting I fell in love with it again.  I think you made the right choice for yourself, so try not to sweat it.

    I think it's beautiful and very flattering on your body.  It's completely normal to feel this way.  I keep looking at pictures when I tried on my dress and am wondering should I have gotten something different.  I even had a dream last night that I went back in to try on one of the dresses I liked but didn't buy.  My first fitting is Thursday and I can't wait to see it again.  But back to you, the dress look amazing on you.

    I think it's pretty and very flattering!  And it's got a great playful vibe. 

    Everybody has doubt.  There's so much out there that it's hard to believe you made the right choice sometimes.

    Ooh, you look so gorgeous in that dress! I tried that one on as well and LOVED it... but ended up going with a different one. I still think about that dress all the time. It looks amazing on you! Are you going to get the matching veil? I tried them on together and the veil is really just stunning (long, and has the same petals as the skirt). Great choice -- stop stressing and relax!! You will be a stunning bride in that amazing dress :)

    Oh, the dress is beautiful! I'm going through the same thing right now so I decided I needed to just stop thinking about it. And then what happened? I had a DREAM about another dress! It was getting ridiculous.

    But yes, I'm sure that once you try on your dress at your fitting, you'll still love it. So like other PP's said, try not to think about it.

    Is that a Melissa Sweet? I think I tried on that dress (or a very similar one), and remember liking it a lot. Looks great on you! No need to have second thoughts, you've found your perfect dress.

    I also had doubts about my dress.  I feel like it looks better in person than in pictures so I am happier about it when I try on and it looks gorgeous now that it has been altered.  Don't worry.  It'll come out alright.

    @ lindseymagen - Yes, I got the matching veil...It just completes the look.

     

    @ meliss - Yes, it is a Melissa Sweet.  I am OBSESSED with her dresses :)

     

    Thanks to everyone for all the feedback.  Glad to hear it's normal to second guess and that I will likely fall in love with it all over again :)
