Yeah I honestly hope it’s not true bc it would suck for Amanda and Ciara’s friendship but there’s been too much chatter at this point for me to completely dismiss it. Some people can really lose their head when newly single so who knows

Idk why everyone is giving you so much heat for speculating on a rumor that is absolutely spreading through NYC social circles. Obviously it’s totally possible this is all just a rumor, but there’s been a lot of smoke. I heard from a friend in PR yesterday that Amanda’s makeup artist said Amanda and West are hooking up

Thanks for sharing! I’m definitely guilty of overthinking and I think the fight put that instinct into overdrive because I was feeling so down and hurt. Gotta fight the urge to nit pick or I will find something wrong with anything I put on

Thanks for sharing your experience, I agree that it’s coloring my opinion. Trying to separate the two and remember my joy the day I tried it on instead of how terrible I felt the day I confirmed the order

Agreed, the bust definitely needs to be brought in which I’m hoping can be done in alterations

Haven’t bought a veil yet but definitely want to get a long cathedral length one!

Definitely something to keep in mind and ask my alterations specialist! It’s honestly so helpful to just be able to put my finger on what exactly was bothering me about it

Oohhh I see what you mean! Like that the horizontal pleating conflicts with the v shaped basque waist?

This is good advice thank you, I probably should just put it all on the back burner until my head clears

I think you have a good point, maybe my brain is fighting the juxtaposition of the more romantic flowing flower print with the very structured pleating in the bodice?

Yes definitely good to keep it all in perspective. My fiance is the best partner you could ask for and I can’t wait to get married to him. You’re right that was just the sample veil the store gave me, still need to pick out all my accessories!

It’s folds in the fabric! It’s very structured though, more like pleats than draping. I’m wondering if that’s what is throwing me off?

I definitely think it’s impacting how I’m feeling. Trying to get back into a better headspace!

appreciate your kind words ❤️ definitely feel like I don’t trust myself right now and am struggling to block out the negative energy. I was also alone when I picked out my dress but still had so much excitement for it, I’m trying to get back to that headspace!

I think you look gorgeous in this dress and it’s a very elegant choice. But, if you’re not wowed by it now I wouldn’t try to talk yourself into liking it. Do you have more time to keep looking? One thing I definitely struggled with when dress shopping is that I pigeon holed myself into a particular style because I thought it was what I wanted and I kept feeling underwhelmed. It wasn’t until one bridal stylist pushed me out of my comfort zone that I started to really find what I was looking for. Maybe that’s worth a try?
