Should I return this wedding dress?

I never thought I would get a strapless dress and although I feel great it in, I have read a lot of comments that strapless looks terrible - especially if you don't have the slimmest figure! Sometimes I think something looks good and it doesn't. Though I'm hoping to lose a few more pounds, do I have the shoulders for this strapless dress?? I have one week to decide, or do I add thin straps when I get it tailored? TIA

Should I return this wedding dress?

I missed it has pockets! Keep it keep it keep it!

And a side split! As long as the strapless-ness of it doesn't make me look too 'broad' and it still looks flattering then that's all that matters, I just want to look elegant not 'frumpy' - I do feel elegant and classy in it. I fell in love with it as soon as it was on - I wasn't expecting it and I'm relieved I'm not imagining that it looks as good as it feels on me! 😍

Keep it ! You look beautiful

Pockets ❤️.. sigh ..

I think it looks lovely.

My only concern about a strapless dress would be whether it stays up and you don’t have to pull it up? But I assume being a wedding dress and expensive they’ll have made extra sure that doesn’t happen.

It's bloody gorgeous.
If you need extra security to keep it up then double sided fashion tape will definitely help

anon1968 · 11/02/2024 19:08

Wow! You look stunning, the dress is absolutely gorgeous! Very classy and expensive looking.

CinnamonJellyBeans · 11/02/2024 19:14

It's lovely and looks great on you.

RestingPassportFace · 11/02/2024 19:20

You look lovely OP
Really lovely
It's a very nice bodice
Another fan of pockets here

KezzabellaB · 11/02/2024 19:22

Beautiful! Looks great on you

heldinadream · 11/02/2024 19:22

You look gorgeous in it but WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO PUT IN THE POCKETS ON THE DAY????
Suggestions- a marmalade sandwich,
A lace hankie,
A hip flask of gin and tonic,
Spare knickers,
And a packet of cigarettes and a lighter.
Every eventually covered OP. 😂
Seriously though you look amazing, keep it!

It's gorgeous. Ignore those naysayers they probably think the stripper fairylook (if you've ever seen say yes to the dress) you'll know the look the designers Pnina something

WeeOrcadian · 11/02/2024 19:50

Holy shit, it has POCKETS!!?? That's a keeper

And you look gorgeous in it

Levithecat · 11/02/2024 19:53

Stunning!

DGPP · 11/02/2024 21:11

Lovely. Straps would spoil it!

BlueGrey1 · 11/02/2024 21:45

It’s nice but a bit run of the mill, I would personally be looking for something a bit different

MuchTooTired · 11/02/2024 21:47

You look fabulous!

WaltzingWaters · 11/02/2024 21:49

It’s really beautiful and suits you well.

Mummy2one2016 · 11/02/2024 21:59

It's beautiful, love the pockets.

FatFilledTrottyPuss · 11/02/2024 22:30

You look absolutely gorgeous in it and it has POCKETS !
I wouldn’t change a thing.

I have read a lot of comments that strapless looks terrible - especially if you don't have the slimmest figure!

What doesn't look so good is if the dress is too tight, particularly across the back - yours looks as though it fits you nicely. And also your arms look good even without extra toning.

Now, to think of which jewellery will enhance it!

Yes - that's the other good thing about the style, there should be a good choice of things that'd look lovely with it.

It really suits you

Wear a lovely necklace so there's something between your neck and bust
