Does my dress look ok?

It’s just a cheap thing, we’re having a small registry office do with just two witnesses so didn’t want to spend much money on anything.

I will wear a different bra, a push up one and accessorise with silver jewellery.

I had a baby 4 weeks ago and just feel like a disgusting mess.

You look lovely.

Politics4me · 27/11/2021 14:27

Like others, do something about that half line. I like the drape and the shoulder style. It has an overall historic mood, think Georgette Heyer illustrations.
Classy is right.

You look beautiful and ethereal. Have a wonderful wedding!

IvorCutler · 27/11/2021 14:56

It’ll look great with a better bra! Congratulations 🎊

EllaPaella · 27/11/2021 16:01

@OGenkiDesuKa you are absolutely not a mess, that dress is beautiful and looks so good on you.

OGenkiDesuKa · 27/11/2021 17:01

Thanks everyone. I’ll come back with a photo of the final look on the big day!

Beautiful and very romantic! I would wear a flower crown or hairband with it to up the boho vibes

KikoLemons · 27/11/2021 18:06

Or get a long slip and split that. If the slip is nice fabric, (more of an underskirt ) you'd get flashes of leg/slip as you moved and it would keep the fluidity,
It's pretty OP - and so are you. Congratulations on you baby and your marriage.

You are a beautiful woman, and I think you will look stunning on your wedding day. Best of luck to you.

Perdy45 · 27/11/2021 18:19

Lovely dress. Really like the sound of the tulle skirt underneath.

Can you please share a pic of you on your special day? I bet you'll look gorgeous! Best of luck to you.

clarepetal · 27/11/2021 18:29

You look fantastic.

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 27/11/2021 18:30

You are radiant - not a mess - so think on!

With the wee tweaks mentioned above you are going to look stunning. You really are. A wee bit of foliage and/or flowers in your hair and you are going to look like a goddess ☺️

SamMil · 27/11/2021 18:39

You look lovely! And so does the dress. Wish I had looked like you 4 weeks after having a baby!

mrshoho · 27/11/2021 18:40

Gorgeous! You will look devine on your special day. Enjoy every minute and hats off to you for looking so well so soon after a c section!

Roussette · 27/11/2021 19:14

You look fab-u-lous!

Seriously!

Allthatglittersandgold · 27/11/2021 19:16

You're absolutely not a disgusting mess. I really like it. Congratulations.

BrilliantBetty · 27/11/2021 19:28

Congratulations x 2!!
With a couple of tweaks this will be just right. I would remove the underneath bit of the skirt and replace it with something longer so you don't have the line bit half way down your legs, or even easier to wear a long slip underneath, just an inch or two shorter than the dress.

Your hair looks great, you will be a very beautiful bride!!

NovemberNovemberDarkNights · 27/11/2021 19:34

It doesn't look cheap.

I think the short lining won't be as noticible IRL as it is in a photo. Ask your mum.

goose1964 · 27/11/2021 19:36

My fist thought was it was a bit much for anything less than a wedding, it's beautiful

maffhew · 27/11/2021 19:36

Honestly it looks cheap. The half length underskirt shows how see through the material is. It needs something else underneath. You'd look better in a normal dress instead of a cheap looking wedding dress.

Shehasadiamondinthesky · 27/11/2021 19:37

I love it and it really suits you.

IncessantNameChanger · 27/11/2021 19:38

You you look beautiful. Lovely dress. I think you you will look stunning

Minceandonions · 27/11/2021 19:59

Please do.

It's a lovely dress and you look very serene.I agree with the idea of sewing up the split
