It seems like many brides have second thoughts on the dress they chose by the time alterations come around. Maybe i’m in the minority, but I fell in LOVE all over again when I tried it on nine months after ordering it! I take that back-I love it even more! Seeing it bustled was the icing on the cake. Thank goodness-I was soooo afraid I would fall into the “ummm…not sure how I feel about it anymore” category!
Anyone else have the same thing happen to them?

Well, even though I’ve only seen my dress twice and only once before I ordered it, have never tried it on (the samples were like size 6), and only have a picture to look at from knock-off websites as I can’t find it on the actual designer’s website…I LOVE my dress! Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps. It was the second thing truly wedding related and the first big purchase that I bought. I’m soo excited and can’t wait for it to come in. I know I’ll love it just as much then if not more.

I never saw anything but a picture of the dress on a mannequin before I bought mine. I LOVE it. Unfortunately, I’m not out of the woods yet, I have plenty of time to regret it, I guess.

I have loved mine since the second I put it on and cant wait to wear it in 2 weeks…. only doubt I had about it before it was purchased was the price and how I was going to pay for it!

I bought mine a few months ago, and it’s hanging in my closet (and my wedding is forever away). I don’t look at other dresses anymore and every time I look at mine I still LOVE IT.

I loved mine from the moment I tried it on until the moment our reception was over. I *still* love it! I never even looked at another dress after I found mine. 🙂

I have dress doubts, but I haven’t been in for my fitting. I’m sure once I see it again I’ll love it “for sure” lol, it’s just hard sometimes when you see so many gorgeous dresses every day!

I looked at so many pictures of dresses that I thought were “the one” only to be disappointed by them in store. The dress I ultimately selected is one that I NEVER would have stopped to look at in a magazine or catalog. Therefore, I haven’t had any doubts about my selection, because I have complete faith in my INABILITY to gauge what a dress will look like on me based on viewing it in a picture 🙂

I bought a dress 2.5 years (yes that’s years) before we got engaged. I had alterations done and it was in the closet since then. I still love it and can’t wait to wear it in 27 days.

My dress hasn’t arrived yet and I can’t wait for it to come. It was the first dress I fell in love with, though about the 18th one to try on lol

i loved my dress the second I’ve put it on! it was actually the very first wedding gown i tried on…;-) and i also only went to one bridal store…
never had any doubts… ordered it 4 months ago, and it should be in by the end of march…i actually went back to the store today to decide on a veil… i’m still sooooo much in love with it!!! can’t imagine that there is any other dress out there that I would love more. i kind of think, i’m the perfect girl for that dress… lol
it is sooo worth to follow the rule: once you bought it – stop shopping 😉
