Disapproval from mother

Feeling pretty horrible right now.

I asked my mom over the phone if she liked the dress I bought, and at first she said, “Yeah, it’s nice.” But then after seeing the pictures, she told me she was worried about the quality of the dress, the way it fits in the bodice, and the waist.

I found myself trying to convince her that it’s better than it looks, that it’s several sizes too big right now, and that alterations will make a big difference. But honestly, the whole conversation left me feeling embarrassed and defeated.

Now I’m second guessing everything and looking back at photos of myself in other dresses I tried on. I know I should probably delete them so I don’t keep comparing and regretting.

She lives in another state, and I did tell her I would be dress shopping. I also let her know she was welcome to come down if she wanted, and I gave her a heads up that I had a timeline for when I needed to buy the dress.

Part of me feels like she’s upset that I made the decision without her approval or without her being there, but she is also the one who moved away, not me, within a year after I was widowed at 22.

I know I probably shouldn’t let it get to me this much, but I just had a little cry about it and I’m feeling really hurt and frustrated.

I’m starting to have serious dress regret after getting this dress back from alterations.

When I first picked it, I loved the lace detail, the corset-style bodice, and the fitted shape. I thought alterations would make it feel secure and flattering, but now it feels too tight through my stomach, waist, and hips. Looking at the photos, the front looks like it is pulling, and the top seems tighter than I expected.

I wanted to feel confident when I saw it fitted, but instead I feel uncomfortable and disappointed. Now I keep wondering if it was taken in too much or if this just is not the right fit for me.

Please be honest… does it look too tight after alterations, or am I overthinking it? Would you ask them to loosen it a little?

Can I say yes to this dress?

My dress arrived today, and I had my mom help me take a few photos after trying it on.

I'm really starting to picture myself wearing it on the big day, but I'd love some honest opinions. Can I say yes to this dress, or does it look a little too simple?

It arrived with quite a few wrinkled because the packaging from shein, so I'm hoping a good steaming will make a big difference. Maybe I'm thinking about taking it to a bridal shop to have it steamed and properly arranged before making my final decision.

Hating wedding dress!

I get married in two weeks, so I went to try on my dress one more time and had a full-fledged meltdown.

I just could not get past how unhappy I felt in it. I don’t feel confident, and I’m so nervous about people judging me when I walk down the aisle.

I don’t have enough time or money to buy another dress, so I’m feeling really overwhelmed right now.

Has anyone else gone through this close to the wedding? Please help me figure out how to make peace with it or what small changes might help.

Thrifted dress help.

Can anyone help me identify the brand of this dress, or at least help figure out what material it might be? I’m also trying to find out if there are any instructions for how this particular dress is meant to be bustled.

The original tag had already been cut off when I found it, but there is another tag that I assume may be from a cleaning service. It has a serial code and date that reads: “W82105 8/10/01.” Not sure if that is helpful.

The bodice has vine embroidery with minimal beading and no boning. It has a full pleated skirt with what I think may be attached horsehair petticoats underneath.

The back zips up, but there is a row of decorative buttons meant to hide the zipper. The fabric is smooth and has a subtle shine.

Any ideas on the brand, fabric, age, or how it should be bustled?

Worried I’ve got the wrong dress

I bought this dress for £50 BNWT from Vinted a few months ago, it’s a little snug across my hips but I’m actively trying to lose a little weight before our wedding in April.

I fell in love with the detailing as we’re having a hobbit-esque wedding and felt it fit the theme while still feeling classy.

However, I tried it on this weekend and I’m worried it doesn’t fit me well or flatter me at all. (Please excuse the bra, I’m planning on having it altered so the plunge isn’t as revealing.) It’s also still snug across my hips, despite dropping a dress size.

I’m debating if this is actually the right dress and if it would suit me more to have something with more shape. I’m also concerned that if I don’t lose more weight from my hips then even alterations won’t be able to save it.

Do I just cut my losses and look for another dress or am I too in my head about it?

Think I found my dress!

I had my first wedding dress try-on and completely fell in love with this one.

We’re getting married in a garden abroad, so the floral details feel so perfect for the setting. It has that romantic, dreamy feeling I was hoping for, and I keep thinking about it even after leaving the appointment.

But since it was only my first try-on, I’m wondering if I should keep looking just to be sure. Did anyone else find “the one” right away, or did you keep trying dresses before making the final decision?

Said yes to the dress!!

2027 bride here, and I’m so happy with my choice. I found an original 1940s wedding gown, and it feels so special knowing it has that much history and character.

This is before alterations, so the fit isn’t quite there yet, but I can already see the vision. I honestly can’t wait to see how it looks once everything is adjusted properly.

I found it at Silver Moon Bridal in Chicago, and I have to say, their vintage selection is amazing and the prices were very affordable. Such a beautiful experience finding something so unique.

Improvements ideas?

My seamstress called me yesterday to let me know my dress is almost done, so I went in to try it on. I know it’s still mid-alterations, but I left feeling pretty disappointed and unsure.

The main issue for me is the corset. The lace looks different from what she showed me on the model dress, and it feels heavier and rougher than I expected. There are also a lot of open spaces in the corset, a very noticeable stitch down the middle, and the cups look white while the rest is more transparent. Right now, it just doesn’t feel finished to me, and I don’t feel confident in it yet.

She still needs to attach the corset to the skirt, add draping to the skirt, tighten the neckline because it’s a little too wide, remove the bows from the sleeves, and make the sleeves tighter. I originally asked for a deep heart-shaped neckline, but at this stage it’s not looking the way I pictured.

My biggest concern is the corset fabric and lace. What could I ask her to change so it looks softer and more complete? Would adding more lace help? Should I ask about putting white or n**e fabric underneath so it doesn’t look so patchy or unfinished?

I would really appreciate ideas, because I’m not sure what to suggest and I don’t want to panic too early while it’s still in progress. I’d also love any thoughts on the skirt, accessories, or little changes that could help pull the whole look together.
