Hey thanks for stopping by!

Yes I am but also very stressed on thinking about stuff still to do, pay for etc. Also assignments I have to write too

I am also having majot wedding dress probs.! I tried a 12 on in a 99% similar design to mine and low and behold it does not fit

I have been told I am a 12 on waist but still need a 14 on back and its 1 inch from fastening and leaving a space on the corset

We rang the shop and they want 250 to change it to a 14 AM FUMING!

Had been having a few niggles and second thoughts any way so unsure what to do. Lose MORE weight which Andy said defo no as it would be off my bust or pay more or lose deposit and get another dress!

Think friday am going to try some more dresses on. Have been so upset over all this and want my dress to be just right. Worried about what people think especilly with me being an older bride and it being quite big! Also now wondering whether to go for the original idea of gold/champagne

Just wanna look beautiful on this day and Andy to love it..... arrrgggggh this is crazy LOL

What to do??!! I may fall in love with my dress again if I try some more if you know what i mean.... but dont want more pressureto lose more weight


Still need to post a pic of invites here!

Also still need to kick Andys arse to book the suits appointments!

 

[MummyCat]

oooh... dilemma!

Right... well I think you should try on more dresses if you want to! If you are happy the size you are... then either get a new dress/stay with current one but pay for the change. That's a ludicrous price by the way!

My friend ended up with two wedding dresses... the last one she got like a week before the wedding and it was the best thing she did... she felt like a princess!

Don't let it stress you out... talk the options through with Andy and see what he's comfortable with... clearly he's already against the losing more weight! so just take it one fitting at a time and try a few different stores/designers. Try on dresses you'd never thought of trying before... just to make sure you're not missing out!

PS.. 31 is not an old bride. I'd say 50 odd is an old bride... you make it as big as you want!!!

 

[Tiff]

If it makes you feel any better, I was 32 when we got married!

You definitely want your gown to make you feel amazing. I'm so sorry it doesn't fit right! Can you try to sell it on your own if you try on a different dress and fall in love with that? Will they potentially buy it back? Try to sell the dress for you?

I had dress niggles, my first dress I felt more pressured into buying it because of the price, not because I loved it. Listened to my gut and went back to the store and tried on other dresses and found my dream dress.

I still love it to this day and wish I could wear it again! You should totally feel that way about your gown!

 

[Gwizz]

Babe if your an old bride then I will be too cos I'll be 30! Dont be daft, we are spring chickens!!!!!!!!!

I agree go try on some more dresses (I saw u liked one on fb Love it and the colour!)

Andy will love you whatever, dont worry!!!!!

xxxxxxxxx

 

[jms895]

I will be 32 when I get married so spose its not old, just there is porbably a certain style for me and I dont think my current dress is right

So this is the dress i like! https://www.morilee.com/bridals/bridal/1658

Its TOTALLY different from the one I have but its more to my original plan, my age, personality etc... and I think Andy would love it. Just unsure if it would suit my figure. What do you think ladies?

Dilemma - deposit we would lose is £500

If I wanted to buy old dress need to pay another £500 but wouldnt be able to get money back from selling. They advised me to get a 12 originally so thats why I am fuming! My nan has been down all routes ringing customer service nd they wont budge. Luckily she has paid (is paying for dress) andis well off and doesnt care about the money just wants me to be happy and look amazing. She told me she WANTS me to get another one that I really want and she doesnt want to hear anything else about it and to stop being upset/guilty et.c......

Now I would NEVER lose £500 i cant afford it, but she really does not mind..... what do?

She is happy to buy me the new one tomorrow

Arrrggggghhhhhhhhhhhh i appreciate your help.......... you dont realise how ABSOLUTELY stupid i feel about the whole thing. I cant sleep i feel sick over it

 

[Jemma_x]

that dress above is stunning.

Now i agree £500 is alot to loose but if your nan is that adamant then maybe this is something you need to do. I know £500 is a lot but if you have the original dress are you going to be happy on your big day? From the sounds of it, not really. Correct me if im wrong. I think your happiness is more important than money and im guessing thats what your nan will be thinking if shes anything like my nan

 

[MummyCat]

Wow... that dress certainly has the WOW factor honey. If I'm honest it has more so than your current one! I do like your current one but this has more style to it. Does that make sense? The only way you'll know if it's right for your body is by trying it on... from the picture it looks like it'll flare out a lot lower than the current dress.

It's awesome that your Nan is so sweet! If she's offering... I'd take her up on it... because you would want to feel happy on the day hun!

See what tomorrow brings! Try not to lose sleep over it... you have a loving and supportive family wanting you to be happy... so now you just have to let yourself!! Fingers crossed you find the dress of your dreams!!!

 

[Lisa84]

Aww hun what a sweetie your Nan is it sucks that they advised you of the size to get and now wont budge

I'd say you if your Nan is willing to buy you a new one then go for it. Definately go and try lots on again tho You want to feel like a million dollars on the day so if your current dress doesn't make you feel that way id say change it xx

 

[Tiff]

What a darling your Nan is! Honestly if she doesn't mind then I wouldn't worry another bit about it. I understand totally how silly you feel, I felt the same. I felt my 2nd dress had the "wow" factor as well.

That dress is gorgeous, btw. Wow!!!

Get it and enjoy. xxx
