I sent it to a friend and her response was it’s a bit plain.

Would like some other opinions please.

Thanks, I’ve got about 6 months for the dress to come in so 6 months to see if I can lose the baby weight before deciding on the back.

That dress is beautiful Smile

OP I had exactly the same thing with my dress. I liked a couple from Ghost and Monsoon which everyone said were too plain. I bought a more lacy one one from Quiz in the end which loved lovely on and everyone said said it was too plain as well.
I have bought a second completely over the top one which I am wearing to the reception.
Something to keep everyone happy!
I think people lose sight of the overall image of the wedding. Once you have a pretty venue, flowers, fairy lights etc less is more.

Sorry - your dress if really lovely by the way. I might worry that's it's too white ( less flattering than a shade of off white ) but it's a beautiful dress.

I love it - big fan of the open back. Far from being plain, I think with the right updo it could be quite dramatic

Beautiful dress, rude friend

HeddaGarbled · 12/05/2018 23:15

I think it's lovely: classy and elegant, as PPs have said. There is a bit of a trend for more blingy wedding dresses lately, and it is easy to get caught up in that, but IMO, less bling is more sophisticated.

TitNoseorNoseTits · 12/05/2018 23:17

It's very classy, it's absolutely stunning. Don't show anyone else, people's opinions always mess with your head on things like this and baby names. Reveal once it's too late (my opinion is on the wedding day) and that way you don't second guess it. A friend of mine bought 3 wedding dresses because of this.

Knittedfairies · 12/05/2018 23:19

That’s a classic dress; beautiful. One that you can look at in later years without cringing....

loobylou10 · 12/05/2018 23:20

Beautiful, classy and timeless. So much better than the blingy, strapless dresses that are everywhere. Ignore your friend.

Indecisivemuma · 12/05/2018 23:30

Thanks everyone, you’ve all reassured me I’ve made the right choice!

Love love the open back. Stunning x

Frouby · 13/05/2018 07:41

I love it. It's a beautiful dress.

bridgetosomewhere · 13/05/2018 10:06

It’s stunning. Just what I would choose as well!

twinkledag · 13/05/2018 10:07

It's beautiful!

fruitbrewhaha · 16/05/2018 18:04

The person you sent the picture to is no friend.

Who on earth says that in response to a photo of a wedding dress someone has just bought?

xLeanne128 · 16/05/2018 21:31

Defo not plain it's beautiful! X

PurpleNailVarnish · 16/05/2018 21:33

Is that you Meghan?

Indecisivemuma · 17/05/2018 07:19

@fruitbrewhaha I did say in an earlier comment that I hadn’t told my friend I’d bought it to get an honest opinion

Oh I see, fair enough. It's lovely though OP. And the back is really special.
Good luck with your day.

Barbaro · 19/05/2018 17:45

It's beautiful. As long as you like it and you feel pretty in it, that's all that matters.

Lavavo · 29/05/2018 19:00

It is stunning!
