It looks scratchy.

mitogoshigg · 18/12/2024 14:59

Absolutely fine, good luck on finding a groom!

80smonster · 18/12/2024 14:57

Perfect first date dress.

Skyrainlight · 18/12/2024 14:56

I like the top part, the netting bit is a little white in comparison to the bodice for me. But no, not tacky.

Love it OP!
wedding planning is apparently really stressful so maybe get it all done now then just find an okay chap and you’re ready to go?

no one would ever marry me unless they were a complete lunatic

I love the dress too, buy it and throw a big party! I used to wear bridal dresses to goth style Halloween balls - no need to go to the trouble of actually finding a husband and the ball ache of that - you CAN have your moment op!! 💃🏼

It's lovely Princess Jasmine!

I e picked the name for my dog….i just don’t have a dog!
we can all dream…just never give up dreaming!
I think that dress is gorgeous!

I really love it too...As a little child I LOVED ballet dresses {we lived near Royal Ballet school and a relative used to do work for Nureyev - I definitely like the theatrical, ballet look.

Re dogs names..if you ever get a dog, you may well end up calling him or her something completely different...

Someone called by dog ''Giblet''{they mis-heard her real name...and that made me laugh!}
However...I think my dog ''could'' carry off a dress like this!

Where are you getting married….1990?? 🫢

SatansBobbleheadedDashboardOrnament · 18/12/2024 13:55

It's alright, if you're planning not to wear much jewellery or bling on your wedding day. Also prepare for the gems to be an absolute bastard and fall off as the day draws on.

If you are slim and attractive you can carry it off. If you're on the heftier size of things and look like Les Dawson, it's best to avoid.

Definitely needs a slender, dancer's figure to carry it off well, someone light on their feet!

I love it. I don't see the "two dresses stuck together" thing. I like the white skirted one too. I say buy and make you are putting yourself out there, meeting people.

Store it properly and don't let anyone know about it until you are engaged.

bigkidatheart · 18/12/2024 13:42

Think it would look good on someone very petit

Onlyvisiting · 18/12/2024 13:41

I don't like the white one, the skirt doesn't go. But I like the blue and the grey ones.

I like the ornate top. I wonder if you could pair it with less floofy skirt and wear it as a normal fancy dress?
Tbh I think all wedding dresses are tacky AF, if you would never wear it on any other day why is it no longer ridiculous because its a wedding? So I'd happily lean into it and embrace the bling. Especially as its a fairly normal price

FilthyforFirth · 18/12/2024 13:39

Tacky AF sadly! But by the time you need it I'm sure you will find a much nicer one!

Fireworknight · 18/12/2024 13:39

Love the bodice work.

Let’s see your dress then!

Show quote history

Here you go, I did feel a bit of a dick in it though.

It’s lovely - get it if you love it!

Give my love to Estella and Pip, @lover99 .

Only if accessorised with a single shoe, a tattered stocking, and a mouldering wedding feast. 😀

Crisscrossapplesaucey · 18/12/2024 13:22

I love it

Oh that’s awful

Weddings aren’t my style… dont crush the girls dream!

Gall10 · 18/12/2024 13:20

ObtuseMoose · 18/12/2024 13:11

It looks like two dresses were butchered and sewn together. Is that really your dream dress?

SkaneTos · 18/12/2024 13:20

Buy it. I think it's pretty!

And after you bought it, you will very soon find your true love. I know this, because that happened in a Harlequin book I read.
