What do you think of my wedding dress

Getting married in 3 weeks, low key affair. Just the 4 kids and the 2 of us in a registry office.

Bought a dress I love but DD14 has said she hates it and I look like something from the 80s so has given me a crisis of confidence and thinking maybe this is the wrong choice!

Would appreciate some impartial and objective views.... thanks

I really don’t like it. Seems really busy and from what I can tell you have a lovely figure and this dress is doing nothing for you.

cosytidy · 27/11/2018 20:47

Love it Star

Warsaw0912 · 27/11/2018 20:47

It’s stunning! Lovely and fancy, definitely fits the occasion. Where’s it from? Agree that you have lovely legs. Congrats on the wedding.

Toooldtobedoingthis · 27/11/2018 20:48

@reddeadroach that seems to be my daughter's view... the sleeves and top half are not good (to say the least).

Trouble is 22/12 wedding and unless I want to look like I've stayed out from my Christmas party the night before there's limited choice that isn't sequins or black velvet- would welcome any other suggestions!

@Beaverhausen ... he hasn't got the legs for it!

I don't like it. But if you do then wear it. As a previous poster said it doesn't look special enough For your wedding.

OP Grin

I can see why your teenage daughter might not like it, but I think it looks lovely and if you like it and feel good in it then that is all that matters. Congratulations! X

Toooldtobedoingthis · 27/11/2018 20:53

@Warsaw0912 it's from needle and thread. Totally not my usual thing, normally jeans and a t shirt, but still not sure... need inspiration!

I don't like it at all. If you do that's what really matters - but you have a lovely figure and that dress doesn't do anything for you.

babysharkah · 27/11/2018 20:54

I don't like it sorry. You look like you have a cracking figure under there - the waist doesn't event sit on the right place.

SimplyPut · 27/11/2018 20:54

I think it's pretty but you are hiding under it. How about something like This?

Badwifey · 27/11/2018 20:54

I don't like it either. I'm sorry. The neck and sleeves are a bit fuddy duddy or something.

dogzdinner · 27/11/2018 20:56

Looks like you have a great figure.

It looks a bit limp to me. I think you could look amazing in something different.

Catpyjama · 27/11/2018 20:58

Don't take wedding dress advice from a 14 year old!

You have great legs, a nice figure. I quite like the dress, but it might look a bit dishwater-coloured and raggedy in photographs. If you have time, you could look for something along these lines (soft, ladylike, above the knee) but less busy.

Toooldtobedoingthis · 27/11/2018 21:05

Oh, 19 in favour and 21 say no (22 including my 14 year old). What else then, that doesn't make me look like I'm off to my works Christmas party afterwards?!

bellanotte22 · 27/11/2018 21:05

I don't think it does anything for you honestly.

WhyAmISoCold · 27/11/2018 21:06

I don't like it at all.

Avegemitesandwich · 27/11/2018 21:09

Just had a look at the Needle and Thread and I do prefer some of the other dresses on there, even though your one is lovely

I love it

HomerDancing · 27/11/2018 21:10

I love it !

Lilybetsey · 27/11/2018 21:11

Not really great, I’m sorry ☹️

Flipflop789 · 27/11/2018 21:11

Love it!

aconcertpianist · 27/11/2018 21:11

I like it very much! Wouldn't you be a bit worried if it did suit the taste of a 14 year old!

C0untDucku1a · 27/11/2018 21:13

Dont like it at all.

I do like the second suggestion of avenge

Beahun · 27/11/2018 21:14

Sorry but it doesn’t look very special. You have a lovely figure... So how about this:
