What do you think when you look at this dress?

Just that!

Wow.

Thank you @gruel :)

@ohsure just looked up that designer... wow!!

I really like it. Beautiful dress.

Thank you everyone. I really appreciate your responses and I'm so pleased to here everyone hasn't looked and thought "ewwww bling"

I'm really quite annoyed that I didn't know about this designer when I was getting married!

The dress is beautiful OP, really stunning. You'll rock it. I'd keep my wedding hair and jewellery very simple if I were you, the dress speaks for itself.

Sparkly shoes though!

Beautiful and very elegant.

I think it's stunning. Love all the beading, makes me think elegant Bollywood or French society wedding! I can see why someone would fall in love with it, it's really beautiful.

I hope you have an amazing figure though particularly a flatter stomach. Any extra rolls at all will show up, it's not a dress you can hide any lumps n bumps in! I would look like 2 pounds of sausage meat stuffed in a one pound bag 🙈

It's stunning.

It really is stunning.

Elegant and expensive!

Yours is a very similar style @gruel! I tried some on, but ended up with something completely different. Hair depending, I think down, a side parting and Hollywood wave would look lovely. When is your wedding?

It’s a fabulous dress

Very intricate. Definitely need a figure like the model to wear it though.

@ohsure I'm totally the same but in the opposite direction. This is not AT ALL what I set out to buy, tried it as a bit of a wild card and that was that!

I bet your dress looked amazing, whatever you decided!

I agree that would look lovely, however, I don't really want to hide any of the detail on the back and I always wear my hair down so think I'm set on putting it up...

Or this

Or this

Or this

@madeyemoodysmum I ADORE that last one 😍😍😍

Itchy.

You'd be screwed if you had even a suggestion of a ripple on your body

Up with a side clip would also look fabulous! Tbh, with a dress like that you can’t really go wrong. Jaws will hit the floor!

Fabulous and elegant like a wedding dress should be. Was so worried I’d open this up and see a dress with cut out sides and a “Kardashian” vibe!!!

My DSis had a wedding dress like this - it was stunning. She is 6ft tall though - I tried something similar and looked awful, I’m 5ft 3!!!!

@ohsure and it's in October :)

Beautiful!!

DSis and I both wore out hair up for our weddings, and we always wear it down too!!! I think with a dress like that you want all the focus on your body not your hair.
