Paid $2K for an off-the-rack dress, feeling bad about it

My budget is about 10-15K and I absolutely despise that I blew 2K on my dress alone 😔 It’s a gorgeous dress, I’m very happy with it, but I was going off the rack for a reason—to get a nice deal on a lightly used dress, ideally around the $1,200 mark.

I think what upsets me most is that you can see imperfections from all the times people have tried it on. So I’ve got a used dress for essentially a brand new price. I’m sure for BBBs this would be nothing! I’m not a BBB, $2K is a significant amount of money, and I lowkey feel scammed.

Anyone else in my shoes or in similar shoes? I see everyone here with their beautiful dresses that look super expensive and I feel so silly. Should’ve gone with my original idea and bought it off of Amazon (I mean, look at this... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJSTS9ZF BRO??? AND you can return it if you don’t like it)

Definitely wish I’d found this sub before I started wedding dress shopping lol
