What do you think to this dress?

It wasn’t my size as it’s made to measure but this was just an idea. Opinions welcome. Please ignore visible bra, I just had my old, worn work underwear on!

I love the second one ❤️

eurochick · 06/11/2019 22:15

The first one is a bit matronly. I think it's the sleeves. Until I saw you in the others I thought you were around 50...

I like dresses 2 and 3. I don't usually like ruffle skirts but 3 really suits you. Cleavage dress is awful.

SheWoreBlueVelvet · 06/11/2019 22:25

I think you have a great figure, especially fir a wedding dress. I think you have nice hair, arms and shoulders and should show them off. I think the first is very pretty but a I like the last one of the second lot ( scoop neck).

I think you look pretty good in the low clevage dress actually. But it’s not to everyone’s taste.

Latest group of 3. I love the 1st one and think it would be amazing on you. (Sorry about price though) 2nd one I think looks like an extravagant nightie. 3rd one don't like.
Ooh, just had a thought. When my daughter got married ( quite a while ago) We went to Debenhams. Not the bridal section but they had a sort of formal wear bit. She chose a white dress from there, it looked amazing.
(Her three year old cousin visited for the wedding and when she walked down our stairs he ran and told his mum that he had seen the princess (also told his teacher this when he went back to nursery)
And it cost about 75 per cent less than a very similar one in bridal section might be worthwhile looking ?

GreenTulips · 06/11/2019 23:23

They are all the same style - fitted top and longer flowing skirt

Have you tried different shapes?

LemonPrism · 06/11/2019 23:52

I like the third of you stitched in a wee lace bit

LemonPrism · 06/11/2019 23:54

Wait I meant the last one

Majorcollywobble · 07/11/2019 14:17

Just for interest look at Victoria Kay 1503.
Just for the shape which is “A “ line with a very easy going fit over the hips . You’d be a 14 .
A good seamstress can take this in or let it out even with all the lace appliqué including lowering the neck slightly . It’s amazing what they can do .

FungusTheToegyman · 08/11/2019 08:14

I think the first one looks very 'mumsy' (sorry couldn't think of a better word) the first one of the second group of pictures looks beautiful

DidntLikeRugbyAnyway · 08/11/2019 14:02

I like the second one. Despite the price of the first, I think the sheer bit looks really cheap.

Talkthirty2me · 09/11/2019 10:17

I’ve found a photo that shows what I mean about my hips. Do you see how they ‘dip’ they aren’t a nice round shape Sad

The reason why that photo isn't great is because you aren't wearing a slip and it is clinging in the wrong places.

I think you have a fabulous figure. Your waist is tiny, and I think that is why you look so good in the A line type dresses.

Brideof2020 · 09/11/2019 19:06

But you're figure and 'hips' look completely different in dress 2, absolutely nothing like the picture of you in the pink dress!! You look stunning in dress 2 and you're figure looks amazing.

NameChange84 · 09/11/2019 19:11

Before I knew the price two was my favourite by miles. The fitted style really suits you.

Feelingpoorlysick · 09/11/2019 19:12

The second one is beautiful!

PastTippingPoint · 09/11/2019 19:18

I love the princess ones with the ruffley skirts on you, I wouldn't ever go for that style normally but they look lovely on you!

TimeforanotherChange · 09/11/2019 19:20

I like the one with the silver belt and the ruffled skirt best. Is that number 2? If so, and it's £200 I'd definitely go for that!

Paraballa · 09/11/2019 20:24

I absolutely love the last dress in the second lot of photos you posted. It's beautiful and you look gorgeous in it.

chinam · 09/11/2019 20:29

Dress 2 is fabulous on you.

JessicaRarebit · 09/11/2019 20:29

Dress 2 for me

Booboostwo · 09/11/2019 20:43

I like no1 but can you change the sleeves? Either no sleeves or 3/4 length sleeves. As it is, it is a but matronly because the style of the sleeves is a bit outdated.

Redviola · 09/11/2019 20:47

I really like the 3rd one. Any scope to add some sleeves?

emilybrontescorsett · 17/11/2019 18:31

I like the second one from the first group ( So no 1 in the group of 3) then the scooped neckline one in the last group , was that the last one?

hannahfaith · 12/12/2019 17:54

Stunning
