I’ve had it over a year now as I’ve had 2 weddings postponed thanks to covid. Now I’m not sure whether this is the dress for me or not..

I love the dress, it would lose the arm flappy bits.

No the sleeves are lovely as is! It does all need lifting a bit but that can be done by tightening it a bit.

I think it looks lovely. What about adding a shrug cardigan/stole type thing if you don't want to have your arms on show?

Lovely dress, I absolutely would not go for more detail, simpler is better IMO otherwise the dress takes over from you.

I agree it needs to be fitted better so that it sits higher on your torso. I would also get the straps adjusted so they sit on the edge of your shoulders (not bra strap position, more like cap sleeves) rather than drooping.

I don’t like your make up - maybe less black?

Hunnihun2 · 09/12/2020 12:58

I’m not keen on the bottom of the dress.

Lovely except for the things on your arms. Could you get those taken off or have them as straps on your shoulders ?

@CorianderQueen

I like it but the whole things too low on your upper body
Yes I agree.

I can tell the dress is a year old. The sleeve/ cold shoulder thing is already so dated. I agree that bringing the sleeves but into a halter would be much better.

But op, I can tell you have lost heart in this dress, if not the whole wedding. You have had so much disappointment with regards the wedding already, don't go down the aisle disappointed in your dress. Take it back if possible and start again.

All the best for your future.

I really like the bodice & belt and I especially love the hem. It is a lovely dress. You look lovely in it.

I really don't like the wafty sleeves, they look like they've slipped off your shoulders and need pulling up.

AzraiL · 09/12/2020 13:20

I think it's beautiful. Just make sure you do a sit test. Have heard a lot of brides complain that they couldn't breath or that their top halves were in danger of spilling out when they sat.

I love it and think the off shoulder detail is gorgeous. You need a bit more oomph in the boob dept though as all the focus is there. Either a better bra with some padding or top of dress needs to be tighter

Movinghouseatlast · 09/12/2020 16:02

I think its gorgeous, you look amazing in it. I like the sleeves!

I also think it needs lifting a few inches and nipping in at the waist a bit.

Is this the star? I loved it, just made me feel very wide on the bottom 😩
