I don't love my wedding dress

[CremeDeSudo]

I went for my final fitting for my wedding dress earlier this week (wedding in 3.5wks) and I am panicking as I don't love my dress like I wanted to. There's nothing wrong with it as such and I'm sure I'll look nice on the day, but I just don't love it like I thought I would.

I've still got 250 left to pay for it, after paying 300 deposit and 240 for alterations. It's more than I'd wanted to pay as I wanted to keep it under 500!

Is there anything I can do? Can I decide I don't want it and just not pay the remainder? Feeling sad about it all

@CremeDeSudo As soon as you said backless I understood. I originally purchased a backless wedding dress but returned it because I decided i’d feel exposed wearing it. Could the dressmaker add a panel at the back or could you wear a bolero?

I didn't love my dress and settled for one of the first I tried on because I was young and felt stupid in the wedding dress shop. I always regretted not trying to find a better dress as it was the sort of style I'd never usually say I'd like.

I'm divorced now so if I get remarried I'm making sure I love the dress.

Given all the alterations you've had done I think you'd be very lucky if the shop allowed you to back out and not pay the last instalment.
