I bought a wedding dress this week at the "Running of the Brides" in New York at Filenes (which they are all non-returnable). The dress is a beautiful $4,000 gown from Janell Berte's 2007 Couture Line. I paid $499! When I bought the dress, I couldn't even really see what I looked like in it... I had to try it on right in the aisle and look in the little mirror at the sunglass stand! Now I am having seconds thoughts... While the dress is very pretty and everyone was trying to barter me for it, it is nothing like all of the dresses I have picked out in magazines, and it's strapless which I never thought I wanted.
I am planning on taking it to a seamstress to have some straps added, which I think will make it more my taste. I am really torn what to do though. Do I go to a seamstress and try to alter this to be more like my "dream dress"? Or, is that a waste of money? Do I just try to sell it on e-bay and buy a new dress? Any thoughts? I am really stuck!
