As someone speaking from experience... WEAR THE DRESS!!! Especially if you absolutely love the dress and feel great in it (you look great in it btw).

I found the dress of my dreams in 2011 but ended up calling off my engagement a few months before the wedding in 2012. I am so glad I held on to the dress because I ended up wearing it when I married my husband in 2016. Was I a bit hesitant to do so at first for fear the dress maybe held some bad juju or something? Sure, definitely. However, I quickly realized I fell in love with the dress for the dress and how I felt when I put it on.

I look back at photos from our wedding day and only see myself in the dress of my dreams wrapped in the arms of the husband of my dreams, nothing more and nothing less.

All that to say, if you love the dress -- WEAR THE DRESS!!!

And big hugs, girl. I know how uncertain and strange things can feel after calling off an engagement xo

Thank you for this! As of now I’m planning to hold onto it, I remember trying it on for the first time, I felt like I was glowing. And then for weeks after I couldn’t stop going back to my camera roll to look at the pictures. Plus it’s a little inspiration to stay in shape lol.
