Should I buy this wedding dress..?

Hi all,

So I'm currently wedding dress hunting. Wedding is coming up SO quickly now - with only 50 days to go until the big day!
I've left dress shopping until last as I have been on a bit of a weight loss journey and wanted to stabilise a little before buying my dress.

Anyway.. I've lost almost 6 stone now since the beginning of this year, so I wanted to try and find something elegant, timeless, classic but also slightly fitted to give me a nice shape and to celebrate my loss 🫣😊

Today I tried this dress (below) and I think I'm in love with it.. 🥹🥰 but would love opinions before I go and buy it!

Thank you in advance!

I like it. Especially all the buttons down the back. And the back matters as that's the view your guests will see when you're saying I do

Yes, it’s a beautiful dress and fits you perfectly

You look stunning and a massive well done on the weight loss

If you love it then that’s all that matters. People will always have comments (positive and negative) to make but if it makes you happy then it’s what you should go for

Congrats 🎉

If you love it then buy it! As you say, it's very classic. Congratulations on your wedding and your weight loss.

It's a beautiful dress and it looks lovely on you.
6 stone!?!? Well done that's an incredible achievement 😊

Thirdsummerofourdiscontent · 30/07/2022 22:45

yes Buy it. It looks really good on.

Wow, you're amazing! 6 stone!! Congratulations on your forthcoming wedding. The dress looks beautiful.

gelatogina · 30/07/2022 22:53

Well done that’s amazing and you look beautiful.

It looks stunning. Go for it!

Clymene · 30/07/2022 22:54

It fits you perfectly and it's a beautiful dress. Buy it!

OneFrenchEgg · 30/07/2022 22:55

If you love it why not? I don't like the fit at the sides, there's overspill which I think is just the style and where it sits rather than you. But I wouldn't really notice that unless you'd asked for opinions.

MuffinMcLayLikeABundleOfHay · 30/07/2022 22:55

God yes! Buy it! You look amazing.

londonlass71 · 30/07/2022 22:58

Gorgeous

Thatsenoughnow · 30/07/2022 22:59

It's beautiful, if you love it get it!

Deadringer · 30/07/2022 22:59

It's fabulous.

ITookABathWithAinsleyHarriott · 30/07/2022 23:00

It’s beautiful but do not buy from Wed2B (I recognise the changing room) unless you’re 100% sure as you won’t be able to take it back or change your mind… speaking from experience.

Flopisfatteningbingforchristmas · 30/07/2022 23:01

You look beautiful. Be careful with strapless dresses as I’ve been to wedding where the top of the bride’s dress has ended up grubby from being pulled up all day.

Well done on the weight loss.

Wheredoestheblackfluffcomefrom · 30/07/2022 23:04

You look beautiful in the dress, buy it. Congratulations

TobySpaniel · 30/07/2022 23:05

Stunning! Do it ! You have a gorgeous figure

Strictlyfanoftenyears · 30/07/2022 23:08

You look beautiful, I would only say avoid strapless dresses as most brides seem to find them very uncomfortable ( and you always see them constantly hoisting them up.....)

Good point. Also, it can show off a lot more boob when you’re sitting down, bending down, dancing etc, than when you’re just standing in front of the mirror.

RosieRainbow1986 · 30/07/2022 23:09

That's a beautiful dress and it is perfect for you!!! Buy it!!! :-) Congratulations!!!

itsoneofthosethings · 30/07/2022 23:11

Thank you all!
We are getting married in a church so it's really important to me that I'm covered up sufficiently.. I didn't want any cleavage on show for example!!
I'm bigger chested so I've made sure to do the 'sit down' test - which was fine! And bending over also.
This is by far one of the most supportive dresses I've tried 😃
