I really need an honest opinion

On my dress can I get some help?

Here I've added a second petticoat

You look stunning. I love the red shoes and belt detail.

I love it OP. And it made your DP croaky! Aww!

💕

Would you say one petticoat or two?

I like it with the second petticoat but it's pretty either way.

One petticoat, red sash and shoes - beautiful!

I vote for Sash plus second petticoat. Looks lovely. Vast improvement having the boobs in the right place 😁

I love it OP!!!! You look fantastic. I adore that lacy 50s wedding look. You will look fabulous.

Much better in second pic but really not digging the red sorry!!

I really like it. It's looks comfortable too. I like that it's cleary a wedding dress but that it's still a little casual. When its ironed and your hair is done it would be perfect.

Think sleeves should finish higher. What is your budget?

Or what about an off the shoulder? That would look stunning and then sleeves that finish at elbow

Vast improvement with the bra!!
Gorgeous dress - much prefer this to the first one.
I also think I like the white sash look, with the red shoes. Maybe red flowers in your hair.

I had an off the shoulder first time around !

I have a friend who can help with the sleeves she works in wardrobe for itv!

More petticoats better - I'm not sure the bodice sits right have you been and got a bra fitted properly? I am curvy as well and it made a huge difference to me..
Have you seen the ones on watermelons link - they just look a bit more weddingy to me I think I like the idea of the silk 'rustling'

It is a pretty dress not sure about the red sash looks a bit like it cuts you in half...but picks up the shoes well...so having something re lifts the whole thing...red shiny necklace/choker

(I love red my wedding 'dress' was a red 50's style cocktail dress so loving the shoes)

I need to get properly fitted for my boobs. This is showing me how desperately that is needed.

Think you could wear something more fitted. Also are you short? Because Midi can make you look short. Definitely need to tug it in at the waist. Good bra/corset.

This one looks good and they will alter if needed - depends on how much time you have and the neater sleeve may make a bit lighter overall

Ahh. I see. Guess can't go off the shoulder again - just looks like you have lovely skin to show off a bit more!

That second dress is so much nicer!
It's beautiful and I love it with the red sash.
There are bra intervention threads in Style and Beauty. Brilliant advice!
Don't go to M&S. Is there a Bravissimo near you?

Love the phase 8 dress. I liked the other one on you as well.

The red sash and two petticoats. It's your wedding day the fuller the skirt the nicer it looks and narrows your waist.

Yiu had your hair down in one of the photos and it looked fab. Thick and shiny. You'll be able to get a fab up do and look beautiful I'm sure.

Have a lovely day. When is the wedding?

Ok I think I'm going to keep but am going to order a jewelled belt as well just to see how that goes. Will speak to my friend about shortening the sleeves and will go to Debenhams and get fitted for 'proper' boob holders.

I'm happy thank you all X

I've just been shopping for a wedding dress for a vow renewal. I tried on this type of dress and was shocked to feel like you. It really threw me as this was the shape I was going for. I just wasn't sure. The assistant got a dress I had rejected. The minute I had it on I knew it was the one. There was no doubt in my mind. You have doubts. When you try on the right dress you'll know. I went to wed 2 b. Their dresses are at a reasonable price. You take them home the same day.

Without giving too much away I wear specs although some keen eyed friend may have recognised by messy bedroom so am
Going to go half up half down with the hair.
