What do you think when you look at this dress?

Just that!

Expensive. Classy.

First thought: Expensive! (All that beading isn't going to be cheap)

Second thought: Beautiful

Third thought: I wish I'd seen that when I was looking for mine tbh.

Beautiful, so refreshing to see a bridal gown with covered shoulders/ straps/ sleeves.

For me it’s a bit much, too many sparkly bits.

It is very elegant and beautiful.
Honestly though, my first thought was "you couldn't have a dance in that" !!
I'm guessing it's for a very formal wedding, so would be appropriate. Could you even sit down in it though?
Brides (and grooms) should wear whatever they like of course.

It's very beautiful but far too much going on, if most of the sparkly column down the front was dispensed with it would be perfect. I think it will date very quickly.

Beautiful. She mush have on very high heels thought.

Thanks everyone. Yes, it's for the bride!

I recently ordered it as I was very adamant I wanted my shoulders covered and didn't want any cleavage out. I fell in love INSTANTLY when I put it on.

But I just wanted to see everyone else's thoughts as I don't know if it's a bit "busy".

I hated everything else!

Also - LOVE the 1920s theme going on there too. Any ideas for hair etc to match would be hugely appreciated x

Glamorous, beautiful,

Do you have long or short hair?

Fairly long, about down to my bra fastener? I think I'm fairly keen on sticking with an old-fashioned vibe?

I definitely want to have it up, though

I wouldn't say it's busy. The main pattern is central which draws the eye down. I think it's beautiful and classy

at the idea that a 1920/30s inspired dress will date quickly!

It is absolutely beautiful OP.

I don’t think it will date because it’s not a current trend. Unlike the whole Victoriana trend when I was a child. I still wonder why my mum dressed us like Victorian urchins and scullery maids.

Art Deco inspired Hairstyles, I love the first one.

Can I ask where it's from please? I make wedding jewellery and wanted to have a nose as I love all the beading on the dress!

It's so beautiful!

Very beautiful.

I’d just want to make extra sure that the central beading wasn’t sitting in such a way as to accentuate my vulva region, if you know what I mean.

I think it's a lovely dress. It's not busy in terms of wedding dresses, it's a simple shape really with the detail in the beading.

@FogCutter I really love the second one!

And @LadyFlumpalot it's Mori Lee

Vicki Rowe does some absolute beauts 20s/30s her designs definitely won't date. Sorry OP I can't do the linky thing but have a look! And many congratulations for the big day

It's an absolutely stunning vintage style gown, not too busy at all because the shape is very simple. You'd really need to be tall & slim for it to look its best though. Most people wouldn't be able to carry it off.

Beautiful. Unusual, in a good way. Elegant. Sophisticated.

Oh look it's a wedding dress.
I'm not a big fan of traditional wedding dresses so ignore me. I'm a lone voice on this thread so listen to everyone else!
