My Claire Pettibone dress arrived little panicked. So, I waited since December for my Claire Pettibone Pearle dress and I tried it on today. I love so much about it the fabric, the style, etc. However, it was supposed to be made to my size. It is a little tight and will hopefully be able to be let out and altered around the chest area. The sleeves and the lace ripping are my biggest concerns. Is it possible to have the sleeves shortened without ruining the integrity of the design? The lace in the back was super tight and I am so afraid of tearing. Ladies, please help me feel better about this. I spent way too much and am not sure what I should have expected or how to tackle it. Any hope/help is appreciated. The sleeves and the length made me a little upset because when she did my measurements I specifically said they were too long and she measured them. Even in my heels the dress needs to be hemmed.

Dress regret! I tried on A LOT of dresses before finally settling on this one (Paloma Blanca 4787). I had started searching for a dress in the summer, but we decided to postpone our wedding, so I was able to take a long break from dress shopping. My province had quite a long lockdown period the following winter/spring. I was able to try on dresses again in the spring and then we locked down again before I had decided on my dress. While in lockdown, I tried an "at home try on" that a bridal shop was offering. I could choose four dresses online, pick them up curbside, and try them on at home before returning them. I admittedly felt quite confused about what type of dress I wanted and also felt a lot of pressure to settle on one since I had already taken so long to find a dress. I decided to go with one of the dresses from the at home try on. It felt comfortable and I thought it was nice. While I didn't have any butterflies about it and it wasn't awed over by any of my family members that saw it (nobody had a favourite but everyone was very positive unless the dress was really unflattering), we all seemed to like it.

However, I've recently been questioning my choice. I'm worried about the low back and how it will fit once it's altered. I have always been self conscious about my back and didn't want a dress with such a low back. I'm also realizing there are so many things I liked about other dresses that this dress totally lacks (ex. a longer train, buttons, etc.). I'm not feeling very excited about my dress and I'm worried I'll feel self conscious or regretful about my dress on our wedding day. My dress was a gift from my grandmother and I couldn't bare to tell her that I'm going to get a different dress and maybe try to sell this one, so buying a new dress isn't really an option. All the other wedding related decisions we've made so far have been so easy and fun, but I've had a really a hard time choosing a dress and I think I could use a confidence boost and some reassurance about this dress.

Should I alter this dress? This was a very affordable dress I purchased online. My fiancé and I are having a small wedding ceremony just with immediate family so I will be wearing the dress for the 20min ceremony and for photos afterwards. I LOVE this dress, especially for the price, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say that it’s not the most flattering straight on, almost like it needs to be cinched in to really show my waist. (See difference between hand on my hip vs not) This dress is heavily beaded with a fully open back, making it difficult to alter and also the reason why there’s very little shape around the tummy area. Just wondering if I’m in my head about this or if my feelings are correct that I should do something to accentuate my waist better. I live in a rural area and two seamstresses have passed on the alteration due to the beading and open back. So should I alter this dress or leave as is? If you have alteration alternatives I’m open to ideas!!

Would it be difficult to cover the boning in the bust of this dress? I fell in love with this dress but don’t love the exposed boning, particularly in the bust. I’m going to obviously reach out to the seamstress at the bridal boutique I visited, but has anyone either successfully removed the wire boning in the bust or added fabric to cover it? I want to keep the lace and I don’t mind the boning on the torso.

It reminds me of those Triangl bikinis that were popular back in 2015 lol. But I adore every other detail of this dress :(

Thank you in advance!

Insecure about my dress. I’m getting married in a week and am having a lot of anxiety about my dress. All I can see is big hips and my stomach fat 😔I’m so sad about this and really just need some honesty and support

Having trouble settling on a silhouette/style! Detail in photo!

Regret not going white, amongst other things. Long story short I got 2 dresses (due to weight fluctuation/panic) and neither are white. The more I see dresses on here the more I wish I had just gone white.

However I am NOT getting a 3rd dress, so it will be one of these 2. The first is a top/skirt separate and I also regret not getting a bodysuit because now I have to figure out how to keep the top staying super tucked in. The second is a bit plainer (and I think somewhat dowdy???) but SO comfortable.

Should also mention I am getting eloped in a Colorado mountain area so the first one will be a bit warmer.

Sorry for the bad quality photos!

Can I Wear White? When I first met my ex I was 16 and he was 21. I had a hard home life especially with my mother so I ran away not too long after. No one would take me in except him. After a long hard 7 years, my mother told me to either “love him or leave him” and next thing I knew I was getting married. I was only 20 at the time and had no idea what I was doing. I bought my dress, the wedding ceremony (drive-thru wedding), and the honeymoon on my own. My ex definitely had anger issues and had a hard time controlling himself. It took me multiple times but he finally pushed me over the edge when he broke my windshield over a spare key. I divorced him shortly after. We were married for a total of four months. Fast forward to now: I’m 24 years old and I have met the man of my dreams. We recently found out I was pregnant and couldn’t be more excited. With all this being said it sparked the question that we wanted to get married before the baby comes. I spoke to my friends and family about it and they couldn’t be happier either but, the problem is I want to wear white. My mother is the biggest stickler about it. Saying I can’t because not only have I been married before but I’m pregnant. I never got the wonderful bride experience that everyone dreams of. I felt like I was the ugliest bride because I did it all on my own. Hair, makeup, the dress. You name it. This time we booked a real church with a real pastor and I found a dress I absolutely love and feel so beautiful in but, it’s white/sorta off white. No one but my mother thinks it’s a terrible idea. Can anyone please help me with this????

***I’ve added a picture of my dress that I’ve picked. It’s a 1970s traditional prairie style dress. ****

My WEDDING DRESS! What vibe does it give off? Getting married at an old English mansion in late springtime. What vibes or mood-boards do you see this connecting with? I have so many ideas but would love to narrow them down with thoughts from y'all!

My mom said I look fat in my wedding dress. But I don’t care I love it anyways!
