This is the finished ‘look’ with the veil and tiara etc.. too much?

It’s much better without the veil and tiara, and maybe see if you can have the extra lace taken off?

AntennaReborn · 13/10/2019 22:49

You look lovely OP, the dress is beautiful and it really suits you.

The other dress is a bit meh, yours is miles better

kittycat01 · 13/10/2019 23:17

Agree with previous poster. The new dress you've seen is meh! Your dress is lovely! I like it a lot!

Shortfeet · 13/10/2019 23:31

Yours is stunning !

PurbeckStone · 13/10/2019 23:45

I remember your previous thread and will repeat what I said on there: no veil, no tiara! So much nicer with just a sleek up-do (pic posted upthread by a pp would bei perfect). Definitely get the added lace removed if you still can. The dress worked much better before.
Keep everything else really elegant and simple and you'll look great!

PurbeckStone · 13/10/2019 23:46

Oh, and a definite no to the new dress, yours is much nicer!

mathanxiety · 13/10/2019 23:50

I think if you are rail thin and very tall like the model a bin bag would look good. That dress is very nice but I don't think it looks anything special on the real life bride wearing it. Also, the skirt and bodice seem to be two different shades (have looked at it on the website) and the bodice lace and beading looks a bit cheap.

In real life, on you, your dress looks fab.

QueenEnid · 13/10/2019 23:53

@Chavatheart I've tried destin on. It's not as nice as your dress x

Tweetingmagpie · 13/10/2019 23:54

I actually preferred it with the veil and tiara, it looked more weddingy and special Smile

hotdogwoof · 14/10/2019 00:00

Your dress is absolutely stunning op. You look beautiful.

Forget about the other dress.

KatyCarrCan · 14/10/2019 00:09

Your dress is much nicer than the second one you have posted. Ideally I'd get the lace removed from the top of your dress and if you want a veil, opt for a different shade from the one in the pic and a smaller, more elegant tiara/head dress.

JWrecks · 14/10/2019 00:32

I think it's really lovely as it is! Positively gorgeous from the back!

And I can't help but comment on the one on the wall behind you that looks like a waterfall coming right out of the model's arse...

Oakandlove · 14/10/2019 04:30

Your dress is beautiful and your figure is only something I could dream of, go with it, 5 star rating!!

RainbowsAndGlitterAndUnicorns · 14/10/2019 06:11

You look amazing in everything OP!

I think the dress you have bought is beautiful and timeless, however I preferred it before the added lace so I would also vote to have that removed. The reason being I think the top and bottom are more balanced.

I think certain dresses need/look best with a veil but I think your dress looked better without one. I would be tempted to keep the tiara on (it's the only day we get to wear one!) and if you y decide not to have the tiara on have some amazing earrings and hair up instead.

What month do you get married?

MissRabbitNeedsAHoliday · 14/10/2019 08:10

It looks a lot better on the model than on the actual bride.

I've found this with a lot of Wed 2 B dresses, I've seen a lot I like online but then when I see them on the actual brides they don't look the same!

Your dress is much nicer than the second one OP Smile

Chavatheart · 15/10/2019 04:54

@RainbowsAndGlitterAndUnicorns thank you Flowers I get married in April.
@Oakandlove what a lovely thing to say, thank you!
@JWrecks Thank you! I know I noticed that when I was in there haha I have no idea what’s going on with that dress in the photo behind me at all! I thought it looked like it’s been unzipped!
@hotdogwoof Thank you Smile
@QueenEnid oh really!? What was it like? Just not anything special? I thought it looks really lovely but as others have said some wed2b dresses look totally different on!

Thank you to everyone else too SmileFlowers

My heart sank when I saw your post! Opinions are like arseholes - everyone has one and you are just looking for trouble asking to hear from everyone, especially here where ‘style’ tends to sheeplike, and fairly frumpy & dowdy (IMO 😊)

FWIW - you look beautiful. A gorgeous dress, stunning body and of course you wear a veil and a tiara - they totally finish the look. (I am of course saying this assuming you’re not MOTG, which as it’s MN is entirely possible 🤣).

Have confidence in you and your choices, have a wonderful wedding day and enjoy your gorgeous dress.

Chavatheart · 15/10/2019 16:30

What about this? £90!

No! Your first one is perfect!

MrsJakeLovell · 15/10/2019 19:12

Although you really do have a sensational figure and totally rock that mermaid but you could wear that shape to a NYE do or anything!

Apolloanddaphne · 15/10/2019 19:26

The £90 is not a patch on the original one. Stay with the first one.

ClashCityRocker · 15/10/2019 19:32

The first one looks lovely, I think. If I was a guest at your wedding I'd be thinking 'what a beautiful dress'.

GColdtimer · 15/10/2019 19:38

Stop looking! Stay with the first one. You look amazing and it’s a really special dress. And I never comment on these threads.
