I hate my my wedding dress now :(

I think it's beautiful.

I have sewn wedding & prom dresses, and done alterations. Take it to be tailored asap. Your dress is the kind of style that is easiest to tailor, because it's straight. Dresses with gathered waists, sequins, beads, pearls - those are a pain to alter but could still have tailoring done at the last minute - even an hour before. But don't wait, get to a wedding dress tailor ASAP just to put your mind at ease. Insist on picking up the dress at least 2 days before your wedding, and TRY IT ON AT THE TAILOR'S so that it can be adjusted a little bit more if necessary (cause what if the tailor goes too far and makes it too small).

When I did tailoring, I had the lady wait right there, so I tailored it, had her try it on, I tailored it a bit more, etc. to make sure it was perfect. If you can find one who will let you sit there while they tailor it, that would be best.

Oh wow! Hmmm maybe I didn't even think that was an option. I will have to call around!

Totally do it! Offer to pay the tailor over his/her usual price to get it done asap; spend the day there, get a sib or parent to handle the other stuff that day. It's a pretty dress, you look gorgeous

The sash is a good second option. Yes it will look like a different dress - you'll have a bit of gathering around the belt, but it wouldn't be unattractive - you could just think of it *as a different dress*

my advice is if you dont like it, nothing anyone else thinks is going to matter, and you should just go buy another one ASAP! I know its expensive, but you will forever and always be regretful that you didnt love your dress.

I speak from second hand experience- my gfriend ended up losing about 20lbs for her wedding and her dress, which originally was form fitting/curve hugging/ and very flattering- was now too big in all the wrong places. She was 2 weeks out form her wedding and in tears. We all pushed her to just go buy another dress. She didnt want to spend the money, she was already spending so much on the wedding, etc honeymoon.

That was 4 years ago and she cant even look at her wedding pictures and constantly says "i shouldve just listened and bought another dress. I shouldve just done it, I dont know why I didnt. I hate how I look etc"

I think it looks really nice, and the fabric looks beautiful. I personally never went for the trend of everyone stuffing themselves into strapless dresses that usually didn't flatter the people, so I am glad to see a different, more flattering style. I think that if you made it too slim/tight, it wouldn't fit as gracefully--

I agree! The dress is beautiful on you as is, Congratulations and enjoy your day to the fullest!

I think it is such a classic looking beautiful dress. It shows off the dress and not your tiny waist, but it is beautiful, and will make you a beautiful bride. If you don't find a sash you love, don't even worry about it, the dress is nice!!

Your dress is lovely and your figure compliments the style. Simply steam the dress (have it done professionally (at the drycleaner, tailor or where you bought the dress, if you don't have a steamer yourself) to iron out the wrinkles and then hang it back up and save it for your special day!

You won't be disappointed!

Here is an inexpensive fast solution. You could try a decorative dress clip. It'll make your dress a little more form fitting, as long as you don't have anything fancy on the back of your dress (elaborate train).

I'm not sure how the back of our dress looks. I'd suggest one of the plain clips, and decorating it with a vintage pin, pretty bow, or flowers.

Whatever choice you make, I'm sure you'll be stunning!

A sash would be great. I got married recently and could hardly eat or drink as the dress was so tight . You need to be comfortable as wel as gorgeous. Your dress is beautiful. Have a great day and enjoy yourself xx

The dress is beautiful. If you didn't get a sash I'd suggest just getting a seamstress to put a coupls of darts in it. I had that done on a bridesmaids dress 2 years ago. It shouldnt take hardly any time at all to be done, & wont spoil the line of the dress if you didn't want to go with a cinched in waist with a sash

Have it altered! There is no need to wear a dress that doesn't fit.

The dress looks beautiful! Maybe a quick tack in the waist would be fine if it would really make you happy. Seriously a couple quick stitches on the seam, but not altogether necessary. I did the same thing a week before my wedding HA Ha. However, I had a seamless dress and they actually had to cut seams to make the adjustment. Now that was depressing.

I'd get it run in so it fits better on that lovely figure you have. Your arms too wonderful too. Such a beautiful dress. You are going to look stunning with your hair and makeup all done. Just get it made smaller to fit your figure or a sash. Have a great wedding day!

A nice belt/sash with bling and a matching little bit of bling in a crown/hairpiece. I love it just the way it is too, really beautiful!!!

I would say for sure a beautiful blingy belt. I wonder what kind of wedding dress shop you go to that wouldn't have considered that in the first place. That's always the go to accessory.

It still looks gorgeous to me. You could probably have it taken in a bit if it's really bugging you that much, though.

It's a stunning dress! You look beautiful.
