    I am the queen of second guessing myself. Bought this dress last week- totally had the boo-hoo (this is it) moment. Never thought I'd buy a strapless because I hate the way my arms look!

    Now I'm looking back at the pictures and I'm just not sure! What do you think?!?

    I've second guessed myself SO many times during our engagement.  Seriously, DOZENS of times.  Ugh.

    So I totally know how you feel!

    Try using the link of the little tree in a polaroid next to the HTML link on the text box.  I don't have to resize when I post through that link.

    I seriously think that dress look great on you.  Its very pretty!  And I have no clue why you hate your arms but we all have our thing.  Its great, and just think about it with your hair and make-up done, some jewelry, a veil.  It will look phenom :)

    I think you look great!  The dress is very flattering on you and I think you pull of a strapless gown really well.

    I think almost everyone has doubts after they buy their dress.

    I think the dress looks great!  I've second guessed mine too...the pics in a poorly lit bridal place (mine is from David's Bridal) never look as good as you look in person when you're looking at yourself in the mirror.  I say go with your original instinct on the dress and don't freak out!

    Your dress is awesome, and it looks great on you.  I have a weird thing about my arms too, but it's all in my head just like it is with yours.... because your arms look totally normal :)

    girl, you're crazy! your figure looks amazing in that dress and your arms are plenty slender! i think second-guessing your dress is super common. just go with your gut -- if you felt like it was THE one (and you had tears!!), trust yourself! you look great :)

    you look beautiful in that dress.  I called my mom the day after i bought my dress, asking her if I did the right thing...  She told me that it looked beautiful on me, and it was perfect (totally not something you'd hear come out of her mouth)  so I felt better.

    You look amazing! I don't know what you mean about the arms, in this picture you look beautiful. Maybe if you're self-conscious you could put your hair down or have straps put on the dress? But, really, the gown is beautiful and it's really flattering.

    I agree, very very pretty! You look great!  I second guessed myself right into a different dress.  Granted, it was the right decision for me, but know that you make good decisions and have faith in your choice.

    I cant imagine what you hate about the way your arms look at all. I think you look amazing in that dress and tons of girls have a little dress remorse but if you truly feel this is the one and you look that great in it, then its probably the right one.
