I love the dress. And I second the sweetheart neckline motion.
I’ve been in love with my dress for two years and finally ordered it and now a month later, I’m doubting it. I think dress doubts are perfectly normal and usually don’t need to be acted on 🙂

You’re having Dress Stress! The grass is always greener on the other side. The one you have is very unqiue and pretty, I’d keep it and just know it’s gonna look way better the day of. If you’d gotten the one in the first place, you’d be going "hmmm should i go with something with more oomph?"
The other one is nice too….but it looks so plain and simple. Very "common" style. I love the detailing on the bottom of your skirt. Other than that, it looks like the same dress, with the ruching on the waist/neckline, all very flattering. I really think you’ll appreciate having some flair on your dress when it’s all said and done. And it sounds like it goes with the theme of your wedding a little more with the vintage.

Will they let you trade the dress for another one since no alterations were made? I would consider trying to sell it on Craigslist if you don’t like it and find one that you do. You may have to buy it off the rack and get it altered. But go with your gut and do what you think is best.

You look BEAUTIFUL in your dress! I think that you could walk down the isle in that with no alterations/spankx or anything and look stunning! I don’t see any reason why you should be having second thoughts. It totally fits with your theme and it’s unique and beautiful! KEEP IT WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT ABOUT IT!

I think it always happens, it defintely happened to me! Mine was a lot foofier than I thought I wanted (I wanted flowy chifffon!) but yeah, I like mine. Is there a better dress out there for me? Probably. There are a million dresses out there so I think there must be lol But, I still like it. Anyway, I LOOOVE your dress. I really do. I think it looks even better on you than the model, honest!
