Why is finding the perfect dress so dang difficult?

I love a good wedding! I like to dance and drink delish mocktails and get all fancy for a night out. But why am I having the hardest time committing to a dress? My cousin is getting married in a few weeks and while I have the gift locked down, childcare for the evening set up, and saved a hairstyle I want to try weeks ago I am still without a dress. The emperor has no clothes, baby, and she needs some.
Too many choices may be a prison because I will find an option and then thing weeeeell, I am going to keep looking. I love a Ms. Frizzle moment but don’t want to look cartoony. I love tulle so much but don’t want to be too over-the-top. I love a capelet but don’t want to serve mother of the bride realness. As I shop for my beautiful cousin’s cocktail attire, Fall wedding, here are some options I’m keeping in mind.

Glam: I love Betsey Johnson and it is so beautiful!
Glum: No tulle? No sequins? Is it dressy enough for cocktail hour?

Glam: I am a lover of bows. I like a big bow moment and velvet is so beautiful for Fall!
Glum: Is Cider shady? I need to research. The price seems too good to be true and I am trying to de-Shein my life.

Glam: The bustier design! The polka dots! So chic and fun
Glum: The price.

Glam: The flowers! The neckline!
Glum: It doesn’t feel fancy enough. Maybe the right accessories would glam it up?

Glam: Velvet and jewel tones and sparkle, oh my!
Glum: Is it costume-y? Would it be too hot when I am busting a move on the dance floor?

Glam: I love all the details and the sleeves!
Glum: Is that green too Spring-y?
No matter what I wear I can’t wait to celebrate love and dance the night away! What say you? Which dress should I add to cart??
