Is this wedding dress tacky?

[lover99]

Good news: I've found my dream wedding dress.
Bad news: I'm still painfully single.

The top is too dark for the bottom. It looks odd.

You've been watching Anna Karenina again, haven't you?

At first glance I thought the first image was really pretty. But close up I don't like it at all. The rainbow coloured "bejewelling" is like children's plastic jewellery. Sorry OP.

If I was 6 or had money to burn I would buy it and i would twirl and twirl and twirl. At everybody.

But as a wedding dress nope.

If you like it, have it. No one else’s opinion matters. They’re called opinions because we all have different tastes. Go on, get it. I dare you!

It’s a no from me.

The top's nice, it would look better if the skirt were ivory coloured as well, it looks a bit mismatched.

Very heavy busy top. I don’t like if sorry

It's obviously a matter of taste but thankfully you are not buying it so I can safely say it's awful.🤦‍♀️

Just no

Well I went to the wedding shops with a totally different image in my head about the dress I wanted and I was "talked into" trying a dress on that I thought was horrific...until it was on. It looked great, I didn't buy it but it broadened my horizons about what I looked good in.

You need to try the dress on......how does it feel, you will know when you put "the" dress on.

Stop looking for a man, be happy in yourself and one will come along when you least expect it - that is what happened to me!

I hate all the advice to stop looking because a man will appear when you least expect it - especially because in my case, it was true. It pissed me right off - I felt hyper alert all the time and vaguely prickly and grumpy.

We were in a coach trip, and we spoke before we got on the coach. He asked to sit next to me, I said no then I remember I listened to Alanis Morissette"s song Moratorium on repeat ("I declare a moratorium on things relationship, I declare a full time out on all things commitment, I do need a breather from the flavours of entanglement") while scowling and giving off leave me alone vibes. But he was polite and smiled and was happy, and 16 years later we've 2 kids and he still dislikes Alanis Morissette.

I love the dress. I normally like a good repeating print, but the detailed bodice works for me.

Its the same with pregnancy, the 'just stop trying, relax, it will happen when you least expect it' is trotted out but you CAN'T deliberately stop obsessing about something you really want thats not happening.

10 years, 1 loss, several failed ovulation inductions and IVF then after DS was born, boom surprise natural pregnancy... when we least bloody expected it in the middle of a pandemic.

Absolutely - three miscarriages, investigation galore, then the one month I was emptying out my parents house prior to selling it, busy dawn to dusk every day, DP broke his shoulder, barely see each other - that was the month I got pregnant and it succeeded. It's the frustration of being told "forget about it, it'll happen" and then that actually happening 😒Most unhelpful advice ever...

Never understood looking for a wedding dress with no wedding on the horizon! If and when you do get married there will be lots of choice then. If you actually have balls to attend and like it, then buy it. What does it matter what anyone else thinks?

it's not to my personal tastes, but I wouldn't describe it as tacky.

Definitely not my taste, but where would we be if we all had the same taste in things?

Not my thing, but the grey one looked ok.👍
