    Hi girls, just wanted to throw this question out to you all.

    At any point have you had doubts about the dress you chose?

    I picked and bought my dress back in nov 2015 and it was the 3rd dress I tried on and the first ever bridal shop I ever been to.

    It's now just under 3 months til my wedding day and I'm now getting a bit nervous on my choice of dress. At the time when I tried it on I loved it, and I took it home that day.It's been in my mums house ever since and I haven't seen it again.

    I will need alterations done as it was a sample and it needs fitted. I'm wondering if I'm just being silly. Do i really need to start doubting my choice? is it because i see so many fab dresses?

    My head is in a muddle... please help!!

    Once you try it on again you will love it just as much as you did the first time. You will be feeling like this because its been so long since you seen it and had it on. xx

    Oh I have doubts all the time, I look at the photo and think, good god did i really pick that? Lol.
    I think because we havent seen it for months on end we have forgotten that feeling we had when we tried it on.
    Im in the same boat as you, bought in November last year, 1st shop, fourth dress i tried on.
    My first fitting should be mid July and Im beyond excited to see it and realis that i made the right choice. Whens your first fitting?x

    I'm so relieved to hear I'm not the only one on this!! Yeah I have fittings in August and I get married in September!

    I'm hoping that when it fits right and I have my hair and makeup etc done I will feel like I made the right choice, I liked the dress on even though I had my hair scraped into a messy bun and no tan or make up on, so fingers crossed! It's been ages since I had it on so I might take a trip to my mums where she has it in her wardrobe and try everything on again.

    Thanks ladies!

    I had massive doubts but I went back and tried it on again a few weeks ago and fell in love all over again! I also do this with our venue lol. Every time we go back I leave with excitement but then give it a few weeks I'm stressing it's too small again lol! I think it's natural wedding nerves and wanting everything to be perfect! Xx

    I do every now and then. My dress is very plain and I worry that its too plain. But I put it on and fall in love with it all over again.

    Definitely go and try it on again xx

    Im not able to have my hair done when I try my first fitting, nor will I have the underwear im wearing on the day and my headpiece isnt made yet. Its really rather annoying to be honest but I wouldnt have bought it if I didnt initially think "wow".

    I get married September too!! We're wedding nerve buddies! haha xx

    I agree with the others! Once you have it back on again you will remember why you chose it. I have been feeling the same about my dress, but had another fitting a couple of weeks ago and I loved it again. xx

    Yes that is definitely me Paula!
    After looking at dress inspiration online I got the 4/5 dress I tried on the first place I went to.
    Not long after my bookface etc filled up with adverts and I was like 'nooo!' and really almost did find the receipt so I could take the first one back.

    However I tried it on again and realised I was being silly, my dress is lovely.

    I'm sure once you try it on again you will love it again :)

    I don't even like my dress when I'm not wearing it. When it's on, I love it, but looking at it on the hanger, I always wonder if I made a mistake, so don't worry about it too much :)

    It's totally normally. I was exactly the same, tried it and loved it, looked at it online a few weeks later and didn't like it at all so had to go back to the shop and try it again - loved it. Even now when I look at it online I don't like it but when I see my wedding pictures I love it and know I made the right choice.

    Yes I found my dress a few weeks ago and paid for half but told them not to order it yet because I wanted to loose a bit of weight. I then looked at it online and it looks horrid. I'm going to have to go in again to see it. I think I'm worried because it was the second shop I went into and the first dress i tried on in the second shop. So luckily if I go in and still hate i should be able to transfer the deposit to another dress
