$13 reception dress, I’m dumb lol lol

Yall!
Last night at goodwill, I looked in the Halloween section.
I found this GORGEOUS David’s Bridal dress. Grabbed it no questions asked.
(I literally already am planning to wear my grandmas dress for my ceremony and already bought a receptions dress lol)

I just HAD to rescue her.
Goodwill tag said Medium, I’m a small so I was like ayy.

Got home, stepped into it, wouldn’t go past my butt without seams almost ripping.
So I put it on over my head, zipped it, n wouldn’t go more than halfway up my back.
I’m looking inside for any signs of alterations hoping I can fix it to fit.
YALLL
I’m so dumb, I finally decide to look at the OG tag….. size 12….. junior….
I bought a flower girl dress💀

Nonetheless I’m obsessed with it and I’m returning my original reception dress, and my seamstress is gonna give it a corset back to fit.
Happy ending lol

Also side note I added my bolero (long sleeve in the pics) then an edited pic of what it’ll look like with a corset back🥰🥰
and I’ve never been so in love with a dress. If I didn’t already have my grandmas dress, I’d wear it to the ceremony.

Need advice on my vintage gown

2027 bride here! I found this gorgeous vintage gown at a garage sale for only $3 and it fits me perfectly! Truly feels like fate.

The photos I attached were when I first got it a few months ago (before I lost 10 lbs lol) so it actually fits me perfectly now and zips all the way, I just don’t have anyone to take the updated photo right now.

I’ve always wanted a vintage gown, but something about this one feels off. Any recommendations on how to modify the dress so it feels more modern while still maintaining vintage charm?

I’m thinking petal sleeves, but open to suggestions! Also open to buying a new dress that feels more like me. Thanks in advance :)

Does my dress fit nicely?

Please note: in the photo of the back the dress, it’s not buttoned up properly, but it does button up fully without any trouble!

I’ve had my dress for a couple of months now and still love it! It has everything I was looking for.

The only thing I’m second guessing is the way it fits around my back and arms. I’ve always been a really body positive person; my weight isn’t perfect but I have no interest in changing the way I eat or live to conform to a specific beauty standard, so long as I’m healthy. So, I’m not the sort of person to lose weight for my wedding.

That said, should I have possibly chosen a style that’s more flattering in this area, or is that just what bodies look like in wedding dresses?

All comments welcome! Thank you!

Dress Regret/Panic

I just got my dress back after the final fitting/cleaning and am so unhappy with how it's fitting/having major dress regret. I can't tell if my concerns are valid or if pre-wedding anxiety is making me hypercritical. It's been taken but the cups still feel too big and there is weird bunching around the waist where it folds over on itself that I think might be because the hips are too big? Is this worth reaching back out to the shop about? Is this how it's supposed to fit? I'm only two weeks out from the wedding so I feel like my options are pretty limited.

Wedding dress bustle question

I just tried on my wedding dress after alterations and my dress was ordered almost two sizes too big so she had to do a lot of alterations. It is now too small causing back fat and arm fat to pucker out both in front and in the back, pulls across my hips, has my feet visible and has this as the bustle. Is this normal to see the hanging loops and buttons? I always thought it looked like just the dress hanging not like this. I am going to go back. I was crying the whole appointment and couldn't put things into words so need to go back but needed to ask for an opinion.

Did I make the right choice?

I’m not sure if I’m having buyers remorse but I don’t think I like my dress at all. It’s starting to remind me of a prom dress. Should I take my losses and search for another dress? Or how can I alter it to make it look more unique?

This is how the dress looked online versus on me, I want to cut out the mesh because it doesn’t match my skin tone and it ages me, but I understand that it’s structurally important. What can I add to make it structurally sound while removing the mesh?

I’m obsessed!!! What do yall think?

My wedding dress was ordered in the wrong color by mistake by the small business I went through, the sweet lady was SO apologetic. However I ended up loving the color MORE than my original dress. Let me know what you guys think.

Sleeves or no?

I really want to add sleeves like in the last picture but I worry I won't have enough fabric after alterations to use for them. I've tried to find fabric to compliment but no luck.

No one has seen my dress and I want reassurance!

My mom was too poorly to come shopping with me and although I absolutely love my dress I just want reassurance I’ve made the right choice!
