Wedding Dress opinion?

[Sarahwuk]

Hi Everyone!

Could you give me your 'honest' opinion about this dress? It's from a 2005 range, so a bit dated .. would just really appreciate peoples opinion. Please don't think you'll offend, I would much rather someone was brutally honest!

Thanks!

I'm not keen, sorry

I think it’s your wedding, your day, your dress and if you love it then wear it. You’ll regret it otherwise.

Absolutely right. That dress may not be for me, but it really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. If you feel amazing in it, you'll look amazing in it.

I think the top is ok but the pickups are really dated. Id it was me id get a seamstress to remake the skirt.

I have seen this style look gorgeous and equally like a bag of flumps. I really think it depends on how the bride styles it. It's an unusual dress in that it looks quite simple but there's actually quite a lot going on.

You could bring it up to date with really classic and understated styling and accessories (for want of a better example think recent royals brides).

IMO it tends to look bad when brides see the plain bodice as an opportunity go ham on the bling; big tiara, glitzy jewellery, mega veil and princess hair ringlets. Just too much.

If you're still not comfortable, maybe take it to a seamstress.

As others have said op , if you feel fantastic in it then you should wear it. If you're not sure then you should keep looking.

Curtains, and old fashioned curtains at that.

Strapless shiny satin. Not good.

I quite like it

I don’t like the dress at all but you have a lovely figure and you compliment the dress.
Personally I think you could find something much nicer without spending a fortune.

Did you particularly want a big dress?

OP have you tried David’s bridal?

Honestly I'd say dated and old fashioned. I don't like the ruching on the skirt.

Very dated! You can find something better OP. Its an 80s throwback.

Austrian blinds. Sorry.

Sorry, I think it’s awful too. The bottom half looks like Austrian blinds (I was already going to say that before I read mulberrysilk’s post) and the top half is boring.

I don’t think strapless dresses are flattering on the vast vast majority of people despite them being ubiquitous.

I’m sorry, but you asked for brutally honest and also the most important thing is that you love whatever dress you choose and that you feel great in it.

I think something else would be better.
I don't like pickups at all or strapless on most people plus shiny fabric photographs badly
