Wedding dress help!! Regrets??
TLDR: can’t stop thinking about other dresses I see and thinking about alterations for the dress I bought.
Long story short: i bought the first dress I ever tried on. I picked it out before even getting engaged. It was so comfortable and simple but unique! I went into the bridal shop just to try it on (march 2026) and didn’t even want to try others. (I did but in the moment nothing compared). I’ve only been to one bridal store but I’ve been second guessing my hasty decision since March 2026. I live states away from my family so I went shopping with 1 friend.
My wedding is June 2027. The dress I bought is Madi Lane Wendell. I know I want to wear a petticoat to give it more volume. Idk if I should try to make alterations to my current dress to be more ball gown / dramatic or buy another dress.
Dress details I can’t stop thinking about: basque waist, ball gown, Chantilly lace, scoop neck/cat eye.
Things I don’t like: exposed boning, sheer bodices, when the corset & skirt look separated.
I feel like I haven’t quite seen dresses with all the things I like in my price range. Please help! ALSO: thinking of adding a detachable skirt to make it more ball gown?
