Went shopping with my mom thought I would get a lace fitted dress but ended up getting a satin Aline. But now I’m worried I made the wrong choice. I also have very bad body issues so was worried I would feel self conscious in the tight one on wedding day which I didn’t want. Also thought the all lace was a little much on me.
Need opinions thank you in advance!
I’m a street size US 18, hoping to lose a little bit of weight my wedding is May 2027. Would this dress fit me? I’m open to doing alterations!!! I’m having trouble finding/reading their sizing chart
So I recently posted about my dress and asking for opinions etc... A lot of you said to ditch the off-the- shoulder sleeves. I posted some updated photos of my lace sleeves. I have only the lace sleeves on, or both on at the same time. I also posted the original photo.
I posted a couple of days ago asking everyone to help me choose between two dresses, and I got so many thoughtful opinions. Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment. I honestly read every single one.
Well… I went back to the bridal boutique today, tried them on again, and made my decision. 🥹
I’ve attached the photos of the dress I chose! Seeing it again in person completely confirmed it for me. It just felt like my dress.
Now I need your help with the fun part. What kind of veil, hairstyle, jewelry, and accessories would you pair with it? My wedding is in December, and the vibe is romantic, timeless, and elegant with deep burgundy, ice blue, and cream.
I’d love to hear your ideas!
Hello, real world! Bride to be here 👋 Can you recommend a fabric that would fit like a glove for a simple dress like this? I would also be attaching a long train with a big ribbon at the back.
Hey everyone,
I’m getting married later this year and I’m trying to lose more weight before the wedding.
Everyone I know says they got their dresses 6m+ before the wedding and I’m really worried I won’t find anything in time.
Are UK outlets supportive of those going through a weight loss journey? I don’t want to spend thousands on alterations constantly…but I’m not sure what other options I have?
Buying online seems super risky 🙁
Anyone been through something similar?
Just had my final alteration. They just need to sew in the cups and then I can pick it up. I still think my chest is a bit too small to fill in the pads. Should I get it altered one more time or add inserts at the bottom? Im worried if I alter it I’ll lose or disrupt the pleating.
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice on what to wear underneath my sheer wedding dress. I have two reference photos attached to show what I've tried so far:
Photo 1: Here I have a mid-thigh slip underneath. I don’t really like this option because the dress is sheer enough that you can clearly see the bottom of my legs, and I'd prefer full coverage.
Photo 2: Here I'm wearing a petticoat underneath. I absolutely love the look and shape this gives the dress! However, it is incredibly heavy and way too hot for me, especially with the wedding being in August.
Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations for what I can wear underneath? I'm hoping to find something that gives the beautiful silhouette and leg-coverage of a petticoat, but is made of a much lighter, breathable material so I don't melt on the big day.
Any specific brands, styles, or fabric recommendations would be hugely appreciated. Thank you in advance!
I love both dresses. But I thought the first was my dress until I showed my family, they did not agree with me. The second dress is what I imaged I would’ve wanted but it felt so boring. Which is ironic cause the one I love is probably more conveniently boring. Pls help me, I just want to look like a princess.
I genuinely need opinions about my dress. What do you guys think. I've had dress regret since the beginning but decided to stick with it throughout the process due to how much I spent on the dress/alterations. This is the final fitting. When I put it on I feel great but when I look at pictures I get regret. The wedding is 4 weeks away and there's no turning back. So I just want genuine opinions/ thoughts.
The wedding will be in a Tudor style mansion in July ‘27, and I’m going for an old world romantic overall vibe. I went in locked in to get a drop waist style, but have ended up loving the beadwork, the lace, or the classic a line. How did you girls decide? I am torn between 3, or 1 personally.
Hello all!🤍 so yesterday I found the dress that hit just about ALL the marks I’ve been looking for in a wedding dress.. all but the sparkle 😭 I thought I wanted a simple, plain dress like this but after much thought I realized I need some sparkle somewhere lol that’s why in the first pic the stylist added a little belt to my waist which did wonders for me omg but I want more 😭 unfortunately I’m not too creative as far as styling goes (🥲) so I was hoping I could get some tips on what else I could add to the dress to make it slightly less plain.. I was thinking maybe getting a bolero/bridal top with sparkles to add but of course all I can find is lace and I’m not a fan of lace so I’m open to anything else! I’m most likely going to have to get a bridal top custom made but I don’t even know what I would ask for :’) Thanks so much in advance. (P.S. the first pic was the only pic I got from my appointment because I am a very timid person so I was embarrassed to take more 😭 but I added the dress from the website in case seeing the full thing helped at all)
I posted yesterday asking for opinions on my final two wedding dresses, but I realized I accidentally uploaded the wrong photos of Dress #2.
My mom had edited those pictures to show what it might look like once it's tailored to fit me, so they weren't actually the dress as it is. I don't want anyone's opinion based on an edited version, so here are the original, unedited photos.
My wedding is in December, and the vibe is moody, romantic, and timeless. I've narrowed it down to these final two dresses, and I'm completely torn.
Which one would you choose, and why? I'd love to hear your honest thoughts, especially if there's something I'm overlooking. Thank you to everyone who commented on my last post. I really appreciate all the advice!
Is my dress hemmed too short? I asked my seamstress if it could be lengthened slightly so there's no gap between the floor and dress and she said no. Does it look okay or should I get a second opinion?
Hello I was just wondering whether I should wear Manilla veil or pearl veil! Also should I add pearl gloves because I’ve always wanted to wear gloves
Ok, so I fell in love with a dress and a fabric (separately) that I would have never expected. I'm trying to figure out how to marry these ideas together, while still incorporating elements that I initially wanted (beading, pearls, and/or lace). I found a person who can make a custom gown at a reasonable cost, but I need some outside opinions. I think I'm trying to do too much and probably need to stick with simplicity if I go with this style dress and/or fabric. But I'd love to hear opinions on these options, or even ideas maybe I haven't thought of.
I used ChatGPT to help, so unfortunately some of the details are lost, but it gets the idea across.
Pic 1. Original dress (off the shoulder sleeve was added)
Pic 2. Brocade fabric
Pic 3. Original dress custome made with brocade fabric
Pic 4. Pic 3 + Adding pearls to the peek-a-boo top (ChatGPT rounded the edges, I would keep the dramatic points)
Pic 5. Pic 3 + Adding a lace/pearl/beaded shoulder piece)
