Back Up Wedding Dress?

Rachel , on July 22, 2018 at 5:58 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 9
I’ve seen many people post about buying a second dress because they end up not being completely happy with the first choice or sometimes buying the second and going back to the first dress. But have any of you purchased a dress as a back up (because it’s beautiful and suuuuper inexpensive and fit perfectly with no alterations needed but not your first choice) just in case something happens to your more expensive first choice?

    Well, not quite what you're talking about, but my sister-in-law realized on her wedding day that her wedding dress had accidentally been thrown out. She went and bought a white sundress, and called it a day. I always admired her ability to roll with the punches.

    Alas, I don't know any more details. She only told me what had happened long after the fact. I assumed at the time that she'd just chosen to have an informal wedding.

    I had a back up dress in case i did not lose a few pounds to get into my dress that once fit. I loved my back up dress more than the first!!!

    That’s something to think about too!
    For all bridal shops there’s always a few people that ended up not getting their dress (due to wrong dress ordered, botched alterations etc) so when I saw this dress at a preowned/sample dress shop for $200 and it fit perfectly I started to think about why not just get it as a back up in case something happens before or even the day of the wedding. That’s not a lot of money to have some peace of mind and even has a fairytale vibe to it!

    I did not buy a smaller dress to try to fit into it, lol. I just had a fondness for pie. Then once I relaxed about stuff, I lost the weight but still liked my back up dress better!!!
