I didn't like my dress

I got married a few years ago and I still hate my dress. I didn't have a lot of money, but I had enough that I could've gotten something nice. Someone I knew growing up offered to make a custom dress for me. I wasnt super excited because I had a friend who had a homemade dress and it looked terrible. But I felt pressured by a few different people, so I said yes. I didn't want a satin dress, but that was the only fabric available at the time, I wanted something flattering and flowy, but the dress looked boxy and stiff. I wish I didn't have this big regret, we've been married for years and have a kid and I couldn't be happier, but I just hate thinking of that stupid dress. Please girls, just stand your ground and get a dress that you like.
