I've bought my dress, and plan to get it lined it white (photos 1 - 3 are altered to reflect this, 4 is how it currently looks). I fear I have made the wrong decision and should have gone something more traditional (5 as an example, but with waist raised to sit better on my body and no sleeves)...

I was adamant I didn't want something fitted or with obvious boning, but thats exactly what I ended up picking... The people I went with said it looked amazing and it was awesome to see my figure (I'm a baggy jeans and t-shirt kinda gal). I'm nervous I have been swayed by that and ended up picking something far 'sexier' than I planned on. I'm also 3 months post partum so thats probably impacting how I feel about my body and how I will be perceived. A bit of shapewear would probably help?

Technically I could get something else, but I will be out of pocket a decent amount of money, and my wedding is in 2 months so I would be cutting things very very fine, and if I was second guessing a new dress there would be no going back.

I tried lots of plain dresses and they all looked awful on me for some reason! My body needs lace haha

I guess I'm worried I will look like I'm wearing lingere...

Help 😅

A little worried #1 will look disproportionate when hemmed (the box is putting in some work on the height!). #2 I am on floor so correct proportions- don't mind the clip or pokey out bit on the bodice, its just the sample.

I already bought dress #2, but I can't get #1 out of my head. I'm fortunate enough to be in the position I might be able to sell the other one and get this instead. I'm not sure which looks better and a bit worried #1 might end up looking frumpy when hemmed as clearly I'm not as tall as when on the box! #2 I'm standing on the ground so its a better representation of how the proportions will sit. Thoughts?

(Please ignore the clip on #2, and the slightly pokey bit on the bodice, that's just the sample.)
