Wedding dress honest thoughts

[BridetobeXx]

Hi I need some honest opinions about this dress I chose. I went wedding dress shopping for the first time on the weekend and I only tried on 6-7 dresses. I think I got swept up in the moment and said yes to the dress too quickly. I wasn't expecting to buy my dress that day. Since coming home I'm unsure if I made the right decision what are your honest thoughts about this dress?

A little extra advice please - for the veil would you have a lace trim at the back (the skirt is sparkly tulle all over) or would you have a plain/pearl veil?
Thank you! Any opinions and thoughts would be so helpful 🩷

It's beautiful 😍

Seriously that is a beautiful dress and you look amazing in it.😍

Get the sleeves altered. Otherwise, keep as is - you look amazing!!

Very similar to my dress (recent) though I didn't have a veil

It is beautiful and looks lovely for the most part, the top with the droopy sleeves looks like it’s falling down. Not sure if that will improve when it’s tailored though? I am not a fan of strapless dresses though so that is a big bias!

It’s very popular in the industry, I haven’t seen the sleeves look right yet, if you’re not feeling it keep looking.

Dress is stunning ❤️ Go for a plain veil.

It's a nice dress, but I'd have the straps adjusted so they sit on your shoulders (or a halter as PP suggested) as they currently look like they've slipped down

What about this veil, the leaves would match your dress beautifully. I’m sure there are other leaf veils, but this is a steal!

Beautiful dress. Looks amazing on you (if that's you in the photos). Plain veil or no veil.
Don't feel you have to spend ages looking for a dress. I bought mine on my own on a Sat morning when I was in a rush to meet friends for a run after. My bridesmaid convinced me I couldn't have found the best dress so quickly and i started to panic, I wasted time and energy going to other shops with her, only to stick with the original dress in the end. Go with your gut. It's gorgeous.

Yes, that's what it is! The bodice is short and it's giving you a bigger waist than I suspect you naturally have.

Because you ask, I think you can do better. Those sleeves look like they’ve fallen down, in my opinion.

I agree with the comments about the short torso and droopy arms.

Also the bottom looks like someone taking the net curtains down for cleaning.

That's just really fucking rude 🙄

I like it. I might be inclined to ask them to
make the neckline more sweetheart

There is enough loveliness going on in your dress, don’t have a veil & cover up a lovely dress

I don't love it on you. You have a good figure but I agree with others that said the bodice is short.

But loads on here do love it.

What made you post op? Did you feel pressured into buying?

Most importantly- do you love it? That's all that really counts.

I disagree about the plain veil, i think the current veil uplifts the plain tulle dress bit.

And as for some of the comments, it's the angle of the picture that makes some of the posters think you have a short torso etc. Overall, you have a lovely figure that will look amazing in any dress.

It is beautiful and looks truly lovely on you

The sleeves are not my style either.
My wedding dress was a separate bodice and skirt and the top never quite fitted right. Every time I see the photos I can still see that it wasn’t quite right. So I would definitely recommend that if you’re not sure keep looking.

Gorgeous, another vote for plain veil.

Plain veil stunning dress but personally not too keen on the straps they sort of give the impression they fallen down or are too big. I'm not sure if the plan is to have them adjusted or raised but again thats just my personal preference

The dress is gorgeous. I think if you tried it on and loved it then it's perfect for you. I also bought my wedding dress on the first dya I went looking, in the first shop I went to. I think society/wider friendship group had conditioned me into thinking that it had to be a long process, over many weeks, trying on hundreds of dresses to find the one. I don't believe that to be true.

Oh and I vote for a plain veil too.
