Borrowed wedding dress, is it still in style?

Sammy, on September 3, 2019 at 9:54 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 49
My friend said I could have her old wedding dress. She was married over 10 years ago. What do you guys think? Is it still in style? I’m amazed that it actually seems to fit quite well.
When I finally go dress shopping, it’s going to be hard to beat “free”! I wanted strapless, A-line so this does fit that bill, except I kind of wanted it to be more of a sweetheart neckline and without the stripey things.
We’re planning to have a less than $10k backyard lakefront wedding so even if this isn’t my very favorite, I’m thinking I can put more effort into a reception dress and help save money for other items.

    Honestly? It doesn't matter if it's "trendy" as long as you love it! You can always get it altered for your sweetheart neckline, but ask yourself if you can live with the horizontal pintucks. It sounds like the (ceremony) dress isn't one of your top 3 priorities for your budget, so it's up to you! I personally think it's cute if that helps lol.

    Its a gorgeous dress...I don't think it's out of style at all. But what matters is how it makes you feel when you wear it.

    I think that it’s gorgeous on you. As long as you like it that’s all that matters and if you want to buy a different dress for your reception you can have fun picking that out.

    I like the stripes, it oddly makes it look like a more modern dress to me. It’s an interesting design you don’t see every day and it doesn’t have poofy 80s sleeves or anything.

    It looks great on you. If you like the way it looks and feels then why not go for it, doesn’t matter what’s in style.

    Take it to a seamstress to see the real of the possible. It looks FANTASTIC on you as is. It can only go up from there!

    It's a beautiful looking dress! The stripes definitely give it a more modern look and the lace gives it a more traditional look! Very pretty and it looks like it fits you perfectly!! 😊

    I love this!! It's beautiful! Who cares when it's from. Classic lines, unique pattern, and it fits you like you already had alterations!

    Who makes it?

    I actually think it is in style. I was just looking at pictures of the different types of bustles today and saw a dress almost exactly like this! Looks beautiful!

    It’s beautiful and doesn’t look outdated at all! Also not a pattern you see often which makes it even cooler.
