Who's up for choosing my wedding dress for me?

[ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged]

Help! I'm getting married in August and haven't bought a dress yet. I've narrowed it down to two. Can the style gurus of MN help?

This one (tried on in a shop a few weeks ago and can't get it out of my head. My bridesmaid thinks it's stunning: "your bum looks like Pippa Middleton's" My mum thinks it's okay: "but your bum looks enormous")

Or one a bit like this (can't find the exact one, but it's a similar shape. I tried it on in a shop this morning and couldn't believe how thin I looked! Bridesmaid number 2 thinks it's amazing)

calzone dress is the best one IMO

Right, I've been brave and uploaded a pic of the back of the dress on me.

Give it to me honestly... Does my bum look big in this?

I like the mermaid shape but if you don't want to look like you have a big bum, this is nice www.aonel.com/trumpet-mermaid-sweetheart-straps-sweep-train-satin-lace-wedding-dress-w76fq.html
The extra sheer layer, hints at shape but doesn't look as though it clings.

Of the two you have chosen I like No 1

YOUR BUM DOES NOT LOOK BIG!!!! YOUR MUM IS MENTAL!!!! BUY IT!!!

You can always wear shapewear to make sure there are no lumps and bumps if it makes you feel better.

Is there a pic of the front?

No! Your bum looks in no way big at all! I think it looks gorgeous on you, definitely buy it!

I like the first one better, and it sounds like it's The One for you :). The second one is perfectly nice, but looks like the standard strapless A-line gown that everyone wears, the first is a bit more distinctive and modern.

I was going to say avoid that style if you're a bit of a pear shape, but looking at your photo it actually looks fine.

first one HANDS DOWN.

and your bum looks great

Are you wearing a veil? If so, get a long one and that will hang down over the bottom area anyway if you are worried.

Tis lovely!! Buy it.

Awwww. Thanks ladies. I'll tell my mum she's mental

I've added a pic of the front (not sure why I didn't do that in the first place)

Off to bathe LO, then I might pluck up the courage to order it so please do tell me if it's actually crap and you're just being polite!

Oh, and I don't know what that spot is on the 'front' picture. It doesn't exist in real life! No birthmarks that dress would be drawing attention to.

You look completely amazing - buy it!! Beautiful.

It looks lovely on you, your very tiny, no big bum in sight. Take mum to spec savers

I think it makes your bum look - not big, but there seems to be a lot going on in the structure of the dress in that area, iyswim.

Could it be that the dress needs altering to be more fitted?

You have a lovely bum! It's a gorgeous dress, classic, the others are not a patch on it.

BUY IT.

You don't have a big derriere at all but you need to try on that dress with some shapewear to give a smooth silhouette at the sides and a good bra imo.

Thank you. The dress is a little big & I definitely need a good bra (the only ones i have that fit at the moment are nasty nursing bras )

My bridesmaids are on their way over for and gossip so I'll try to get the courage to order it. If i do i'll probably order it in a 12 & then get it taken in by a professional seamstress.

I like the first one best Truthy. Very elegant and classic. And your bum looks peachy.

Don't you go telling the quiche about my bum Queen - I don't want them all wanting a squeeze

(This is where I've been hiding out by the way)

The first one is lovely, and very elegant.

The second one is very pretty but a tad boring and the same as every other wedding dress of the last ten years with the no straps/sleeves thing going on, which I am bored rigid with tbh.

Even lovelier than both of them is this one which is on the same page as dress one.

The first one, and your bum is teeny tiny!

Ha she told us where you were - you can't hide from the quiche!

Ooooh much prefer the one Hilly posted - that will really suit your slim figure! (Jealous me...)
