The dress im wearing is the one i bought and the dress on the hanger is the one my aunt bought... what do you think?
It is hard to tell without seeing you in the other one but I love the one that you have on hold. It is odd of your aunt to get you a dress you have nver tried on. NO matter what go with the one you like. Your excuse can be that she took too long to get it to you. It is weird that she did not send it to you right away, had friends trying it on, etc.
the one you're wearing GORGEOUS! The other one - hmm..can't figure what it is about that one that I don't like. Maybe it would look different on?
Thats what i thought. My mom said it was just controlling game playing ect. It was all over at one point and I told her how it took her too long ect. But months later it is brought up again and now she is sending it. That is what makes it so weird. Thanks for the comment :-) anything helps
just remember, you have to look at these pics for the rest of your life - what is more important, wearing the dress you love or wearing the dress your AUNT loves (who is letting her FRIENDS try it on) I would be offended that she let her friend try on the dress..who does that?!
i second everything that carbon_girl said :)
HOneslty, i like both dresses. I really like the one your aunt got you but you made a good point when you said it is kind of like a little girls dress, from the pics it looks like it. but it might look different on. i think you should try it on with an open mind.
the dress you have on in the pics is amazing. you look so elegant and beautiful! it is amazing on you :)
If you end up going with the dress you got just tell your aunt how much you appreciate her but that you found your dress and explain why you like it. and also that she took too long ot send it to you and you wanted the shop around b/c you did not want to miss out on that experience.
Good luck :) no matter what you will be a beautiful bride!
wear the dress you like best...just tell your aunt (in a nice way) that you appreciate her buying the other dress, but when you put the dress that you bought on, you know it is the "one" ...don't let her guilt you into making a choice you might regret...
yeah. thats a little strange to me. i would say "it means a lot to me, but i really just needed to pick out a dress on my own." maybe tell her you will keep the dress for a future daughter of your's to wear on her special day! :)
have you thought about maybe wearing your dress as the ceremony gown and changing into your aunts dress for the reception?
Sweetlikcake... I have acually thought about doing that but the time it would take to change is what has me concerned. Im going to be recieving the dress my aunt got (finnially) in a few days. 3 months after i bought a different dress. I guess after i try the other dress on i'll decide then. She did say it was airy and light compaired to the dress i bought. Im getting married in august so it will be hot out. You never know I might be stuck between the two dresses and cant decide. Thanks for everyones advise this is really helping :-)
It's great that you have two dresses to choose from! If you're happy with the one you have on hold definitely go with that one. It's your wedding and your aunt should understand. However, I'd say give the one your aunt bought a chance. I personally like flowy skirts better so that would probably be my pick if I was the one choosing.
honestly, I like the one you bought. The one she bought looks very 90's in style....just sayin. good luck!
well, auntie didn't go out of her way to get you the dress. and she had someone else try it on??
sorry, your feelings count too.
and you found the one you bought so that has to say something. i think that auntie will have to get over it.
Wear the dress you like the best. I can't tell what the other one looks like on you, but from the pictures, I love the dress you have on much better. I love how simple and gorgeous and elegant it is. Plus, you look amazing in it. But try your aunt's dress on. If you don't like it, simply tell her that you really appreciate her buying it and fixing it, but you are more comfortable in the other dress so that is the one you are going to wear.
PS: where from MT are you?!
I find your aunt's behavior a little weird; the stalling seems pretty unnecessarily manipulative. I say that you have every right to wear what you want, especially given the fact that it took her SO LONG to get the dress to you (and had her friends try it on...what the heck?). It sounds like you really prefer the dress you bought and I don't blame you, you actually got to pick it out AND it looks very beautiful and elegant! Maybe try on the dress to humor your aunt, and if you really feel like the one you have selected is better, help her resell it on ebay. ;)
After you try the one your Aunt got youo on, go with whichever looks best on you!
Rossie girl... I am currently in anaconda... what town r u in?
Ok everyone UPDATE:
The Dress came in the mail today. Im going to upload some pics of me in it here in the next few hours or so and I need oppinions please.

About six months ago my aunt found what she called the perfect dress for me. She lives in ND and I live in Mt so we did this via phone and computer. She found a dress on ebay..the pics looked great so i agreed for her to buy it for me. She insisted on paying for it as a wedding present. Weeks go by and still no dress.. i called my aunt and she says omg the dress came the other day and it is beautiful. I felt irate that she didnt just have it sent to me, she said its because she wanted to see it first. then she proceeded in telling me that it had a huge tear in the train and she was going to fix it. I agreed and a few months past and she still hadn't gotten to that dress, she just sent me pics of a friend of hers trying it on
. she said that i had plenty of time until the wedding but in my eyes that wasn't the point. I wanted to make sure the dress would fit. I got tiered of waiting to feel like a bride so I took my mom and went to a bridal shop in my town/ with no intention of buying anything/ just to have fun. Well I found the perfect dress and it was on a mega clearence ( $2,200 original $500 i paid). I put it on hold and called my aunt. she was offended that i even went to a bridal shop. I asked her to send the dress and two weeks later it still didnt come so i bought that dress at the bridal shop. She came to mt for a few day visit and she wanted to see the other dress on me. She said she liked it but the dress she had gotten me would look better. I didnt want to offend her so i agreed to let her mail that other dress to me. I think my mind is already made up about the dress i bought. she said i should just give it a try and she seemed understanding if I still wanted to wear the one i bought. Used dress with fixed hole....make my aunt happy... or new dress I bought myself? Both will cost the same in the end. My question to you knowledgeable people is.....
When the dress comes in the mail in a few days and if dont like it, how do i tell my aunt that im going to go with the dress I bought? Im sure there will be things about both dresses that I will like and dislike but the fact is the dress she bought me is used and possibly may carry some bad luck. and honestly after trying on a few dresses i dont think that style will look good. My mother put that dress into words" Its like a childs dress" the one I bought she thought of it as "safisticated and elegant." Please tell me what you would do to smooth things over and still get to wear the dress you would want. thanks :-)
