Which wedding dress..?! HELP!

[flourned]

Hello,

So. I'm torn between these two dresses.
One is my dream dress - sorely, A line dress with gorgeous appliqué but it's quite busty.. which I'm struggling to get over. I'm not one to flaunt my chest area whatsoever so find it quite revealing.

The other is a classic satin gown, button back details and very covered up. Sadly don't have a photo of this.

For context, I'm marrying in a church.

Please help? Is the A line sparkly too revealing? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Thank you in advance

My wedding dress was a similar cut to the one pictured and i felt way too uncomfortable at the fitting.

The seamstress at the shop removed then straps and made a lace top piece that went over the top half of the dress and upper arms. In my opinion, she took my dress into a different level - i was covered up for church and i felt amazing it. It didnt add that much to the price.

If you love the dress, is this an option?

Too booby

I just don't think it fits, style would probably be okay if it did.
It's made for someone with a longer torso than you, there shouldn't be wrinkles under the bust.

Rather chesty. If you’re bold and upfront that way, great…go for it.

I agree too much cleavage. Sorry if that is not want you hoped as a response.

I agree with PP. There is too much boob, not necessarily because of the church aspect (although I do acknowledge this) but because your boobs don’t look very well supported so I think you will find yourself fussing with the top of your dress all day.

If you already think it's too busty there's your answer. The last thing you want on your wedding day is to be feeling uncomfortable or pulling your dress up all day.

Good luck finding the perfect dress, it will be out there!

Is that you wearing it? You have a stunning figure, definitely show it off. If you feel there is a bit too much cleavage I agree with other posters, just get the dress maker to insert a panel of translucent sparkle.

To me that plunges to your stomache and so agree it possibly doesn't fit properly. You might find something similar that is a bit less plunging . You will know when you find the right one.

Too much boob on show! If you don't normally show your cleevage you are likely to feel uncomfortable with people staring at your boobs instead of your face.

I can only see one, it's a beautiful dress ruined by the plunging neckline which I don't think is in keeping with the style of dress or for anything other than an evening gown.

I think the second one sounds better. However at the end of the day it's how YOU feel - if the first dress shows more cleavage than you are comfortable showing go for the other dress if it's also lovely on you, you feel happy and is, also, more demure for a church ceremony. 🌹

@flourned I must be the only one but that dress is stunning and if you've got nice boobs show them off Church or not. I would

I agree with this. As long as your comfortable that’s the only thing that matters and you look great! As long as it’s supportive

It’s very similar to my first wedding dress and I didn’t grasp how booby it was until the morning of and then I felt very aware of it all day (I also got loads of confetti stuck down there!) but only you know how you feel in it, do you generally wear lower cut tops or v necks? You look absolutely beautiful in it but I’d love to see a photo of the second dress even if it’s not you in it, just a general idea of the style might help.

You do look beautiful but you really need to be comfortable. Then you will feel at your most beautiful and sexy. If it were me, I think I would find myself pulling up the dress constantly. Also, have you tried sitting down in the dress and seeing how your chest sits? You may find it more revealing in a seated position.

PS stunning veil!

I wonder if a seamstress could take some lace that matches the shoulder straps and put a panel of it across the v between the boobs?

Standing as you are in the photo it looks OK but it does reveal an awful lot of cleavage, which is not something I particularly like to see.
Presumably it will reveal even more cleavage when you bend down to pray, greet guests and eat and you need to be certain that you won’t constantly be worrying that you are revealing to much and feeling the need to fiddle with the neckline.
i can’t help feeling that if you were a 100% happy you wouldn’t be seeking the opinion of others and if this is the case my advice would be to give this particular dress a miss and if you have time find another dress that has the same silhouette but provides more coverage

You can ask then to use some of the lace to fill in the plunge a little, but based on the shape and where the waistline is, when you are sitting there will be significant strain on the boning and it will drop further, so if you are concerned after a first fitting, be aware that it will be more revealing by the time you get to the church.
It is beautiful on you, but you can find something with the same silhouette without the boobage.

Too booby but I think something could be done to change that.

Thanks all. Having a major wobble over it now and so stressed as I've got barely any time to find anything else. I love the dress, but feel really self conscious if the breast area. It is considerably lower / more revealing when sitting 🤦🏼‍♀️😣

You'll be miserable all day if you're constantly pulling it up at the front. I do think it's a bit too booby.

You can definitely get a piece of fabric (modesty panel) added to the cleavage; any decent seamstress would be able to do this.

That said there are plenty of dresses like this with less low cut cleavage; you could try a few more shops?

Don't wear it, you will be preoccupied with how it looks and won't dance your socks off for fear of falling out.
