Dress opinions please

howdoibride, on June 5, 2017 at 11:50 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6

Hi ladies - and gents! I'm in desperate needed of songs totally objective opinions. I've had a difficult time dress shopping so far...I have found several dresses that I "like" but don't feel like I "love" because I don't like the way my body looks in anything. I have gained a considerable amount of weight over the last few years, and its something that I've been working on (20 lbs down since Christmas!) but I'm still not at a comfortable place yet. So my dilemma is that I did find a dress this past weekend that I felt really great in! I thought it was flattering (as much as it can be when its at least 2 sizes too small haha) and beautiful. My concern is that even if i were to get it in my size, that a backless dress for someone on the larger size will still look terrible? Of course I will be continuing to work on my weight in anticipation of the wedding but I don't want to put crazy pressure on myself by getting a dress that won't look good unless I do lose the weight. More below!

    First off, you are not on the larger size. You look great. Secondly, you make that dress look beautiful! Do you have any pictures of the back?

    Have you tried something with a corset back? I am much larger than you and the corset back gave me a beautiful hour glass shape.

    Thanks ladies! This is strange, my post must have duplicated itself! There are more comments on the other post, if any of you were interested. And yes @MrsVoegs17, here is the back! Keep in mind its much too small for me! And @Helena Handbasket, I actually haven't tried any corset backs, only because I've been looking at more non-traditional dress styles, but I will give that a try!

    You look beautiful, and I would definitely not classify you as "larger". I would love to see pictures of the back as well.
