    I picked up my dress from David's Bridal yesterday and then spent the night at work thinking "oh crap did I pick the right one?" Has anyone else experienced this feeling? Eeekkk! I do love my dress, I think I'm just freaking out!

    I haven't picked my dress yet but I know I will totally be like this because I over analyze everything!! Can we see pictures?! I'm sure you picked something gorgeous and are just having "Dress cold feet!"

    I think it's just because there are so many beautiful dresses out there and we only get to pick one. I absolutely love my dress and fall more in love with it every time I put it on, but then I'll watch Say Yes to the Dress and think wow I love that dress. I'm sure you look absolutely beautiful and picked the perfect dress.

    I was telling my MOH the other day that its so sad cause it's the only time in your life that you get to try on these amazing dresses, but you can only wear one. And I love when I would try on some of the most beautiful dresses and so no immediately because it wasn't me. Wish I could wear a different one every day LOL

    It looks awesome on you! Very close resemblance to a Jim Hjelm and I'm sure half the price.... great dress! You definitely picked the right one.... that's what I think anyway...

    I think it's beautiful!!! I love the cap sleeve detailing and the vintage-y look. I think it looks great, it's flattering and the belt is gorgeous. Don't worry!! I'm sure the hive will back me up :)

    that dress is gorgeous on you!!  i think its just typical cold feet, you probably wouldn't have purchased it if it didn't make you feel wonderful!  its just such a big step.

    First of all, let me just say that the dress is beautiful on you! I love the neckline and the belt!

    That being said, I TOTALLY get where you're coming from! I was a nervous wreck after ordering my dress, thinking I chose the wrong one. Then it came in and I totally fell in love with it again. I just tried it on for my fitting with the hoop skirt under it, left it with the alterations lady, and guess what? I'm having second thoughts again! I know I'm just being paranoid, but I still can't help it.

    Rest assured, though, that your dress is gorgeous and it looks fabulous on you!

    Your dress is totally perfect for you :) You look amazing! It is total normal to have these feelings, but just move on to another exciting part of your wedding so that you don't have all the second thoughts!!! I know that definitely helped when I had bad thoughts about my gown.

    Love that dress!! It looks amazing on you!! It's totally normal to second guess your choice!!

    And um, this may be totally weird and creepy but is that the DB on 183 & 360? I saw the picture and was like "hmm that's laid out EXACTLY like my DB..." and then I saw you're from Austin...so maybe it is!

    I agree with roxy821.  I think a lot of brides probably feel this way because there is just an endless number of beautiful dresses and we can only pick one.   Just  remember that although there are plenty of other great dresses...THIS ONE looks great on you and you picked it for a reason!

    @ Miss Cake- you look beautiful in that dress! LOVE the lace sleeves! That said, if you are super unhappy with it, think about selling it and getting another one. However, maybe try it on a few more times. Bring friends and mothers to see it. People who's opinions you trust. I bet they'll gush about how beautiful you are too! Maybe you just need to see yourself in the dress again and hear yoru friends and family tell you how perfect it is for you. Doubts about the dress seem to run rampent throughout Wedding Bee, so you are not alone!
