Well I sit love my wedding dress anymore! I think I rushed into it, when I bought it my baby was 3 month old and I was feeling so self conscious and fat and ugly, I tried 4 dresses on none actually fitted me until I tried my dress on and I honestly think I only bought it because it made me feel good that one actually fitted me! So I thought that was the one and bought it, it's nothing like I really wanted, I wanted a vintage looking dress or something a bit different, don't get me wrong I like the dress but I'm falling out of love with it! It's Mori lee 1819 by the way, I'm a big girl anyway and I only thought about it last night that my partner is quite small, well he's the same height as me and skinny so I think the wedding photos will look really silly as the dress will swallow him up lol! I feel like I'm huge next to him when I'm wearing heals let alone a big massive dress! I don't know what to do!!!!!! Any advice please x

I can help with the height as I'm in the same dilemma. My partner and I are exactly same height so when I put my heels on ill tower over him so he's going out to look for platformed shoes o he doesn't feel short

Yeh he's already on the case with thAt, it's just the size of the dress it's like a big ball gown thing x
CommentAuthorMrsMoran
It's a lovely dress hun, but if it's not what you really want anymore, maybe it would be best to look into one that you would be happy with and try and sell this one to get some of the money back?? xxx
My dress is very similar to yours and I have thought about the fact that as I am at the moment I would look like I am drowning my h2b!
I'm wearing low heels because of it. Is there anyway you could put it towards an exchange for a dress you will really love?? xxx

It's a gorgeous dress but you need to be happy with it, can you exchange it? xxx
CommentAuthorwelf
I don't think so, I told thr shop owner I felt this way when she put a short 50 year old in my dress for photos of the business and she just said its a bit late now lol x I had to get my dress from the shop as they wanted to charge £50 a month storage and if I didn't pay it within 2 weeks of it coming into the shop I would loose my deposit which was 450 x
CommentAuthorwelf
I think I am going to sell it in all honesty, the other half even offered to have like a dressed rehearsal and see if I feel the same when we are standing next to each other but I really don't want him to see the dress lol x
CommentAuthorNatalie86
lol!! you need your dress to be right, so i would sell it and start looking again. It's unfortunate they wont take it back but hopefully you wont have to lose any money when you sell it xxx
CommentAuthorMRST2B
I really feel for u hunni, I am same height as my OH and a whopping 4 stone heavier and im going dress shopping in 5 weeks dreading it if im honest. The shop you used don't sound very helpful but would they consider buying it back off you at a loss or selling you another one with a significant discount. Hope u get sorted x
Back with my 1st love after 12 years apart.
Not letting go this time :) x

you have to be comfortable or you will regret it. HOwever i fell out of love with mine until I put it back on again and fell in love with it all over again. Maybe do the same. Also you can always do the dress rehearsal but blindfold hubby to be?
cant wait to be Mrs Evans less than 3 weeks woooo
start weight 10st 1.5 lbs
weight now 8st 4.5 lbs
total loss to date: 24.5 lbs now need to maintain!

good thinking suzky! the shop changed ownership and they were fab before and when i got my dress they turned into devils! im going to put it on here and on gumtree for sale and see if theres something else that i fancy! so stressful though x thank you all for your help x
CommentAuthorsarah
I agree that you need to be comfortable dress, or you will end up regreting it as it will taint your day. That said I think that you are worrying a lot about something that doesn't matter. Most brides take up more room in photos then their groom because they're in the big white dress! So I wouldn't stress about that aspect.
CommentAuthorNatashaP86
Hey Hun just looked up your dress and it is so stunning. What is it that you don't like? I am in the same boat. Got a dress at a bargin price but it's a copy and as lovely as it is I keep looking and it's not the same. Think my oh would be gutted if I changed it but just out of love with it. I am a really big girl but I am going more for the great big dress, it's our only day to pull it off so why not lol x
CommentAuthorAmyP7
You need to be comfortable and if you really dont like it you need to sell it and start again. Otherwise you will regret it. Wish i was the same height as h2b, would love to wear flats and be comfortable. h2b is over a foot taller than me so having to learn to walk in heels lol x x
CommentAuthorHelenW
I defo think go and blindfold hubby and do a trial run?! If thats one of the main things worrying u... my h2b is also quite small and my dress is pretty big... but I dont care cos I love it and couldnt not have it! X

CommentAuthorpink*wink
i think its stunning.... it sounds as if u r just having a dress wobble hun! i had one a couple of months ago too and was dreading putting it on for the fitting but i did my hair really nice and my make up and went for my fitting and felt so much better in it! maybe u can do the same? I dont think it will drown ur h2b, i think u will look lovely together and dnt think u shld stress urself out by trying to find another dress when the one u have is just gorgeous :) xx
CommentAuthorStacyT
i agree with the dress rehearsal, if your hubby finds platform shoes let me know, my partner is 2 inches smaller than me and were searching height increasing shoes haha
you need to feel right in your dress, i think you may just be having a wobble and will fall in love again once you have it on, it sounds like your doubting it because of the height thing more. x
Cant wait to become Mrs Ellerington!!!!!

You could always try boots, they're the only acceptable shoe with heels for men :P

Thanks ladies.. A dressed rehearsal him blindfolded turned into him seeing the dress and in happy with it and feel so much better! I'm not superstitious anyway but so happy x
CommentAuthorGillianE
i think a dress rehearsal too, when your stood together and you have the dress on you may just change your mind, and if not then sell it and find another one that you do love and feel comfortable in. If your feeling down about your dress it will only spoil your big day and make you feel miserable.

Hun i had major dress wobbles 7 weeks before the wedding and ended up changing my dress for the same reasons - weight and unhappiness! I talked to the woman I bought it from and she was a superstar in helping me sort it, maybe you could try the same? xx
